I sit here thinking of everyone I know that is effect in one way or another with all the rain and water , tornadoes , fires and every thing else that is going on . Weather it directly or in directly we are a story or know a story of someones . BUT keep your heads up I have tell my hubby from day one it can always be worse cause it can . I got this frame of mind from sitting in the pediatricians office with our first daughter in our arms , a diaper bag over one shoulder and a breathing heart monitor over the other there we were in a room FULL to standing room all waiting for the same doctor as I was there and looked around tired with barely any energy to keep my eyes open as we have been up for days with little or no sleep at this point waiting our turn . I saw all these people with all sorts of things wrong with their children and I am sure everyone was concerned with what was wrong with their child . I sat in a row with what seemed to be new parents with their first born and what looked like he had a a cold the couple looked much like us tried ,exhausted and concerned , then sitting beside them was us with Addy very petite and her monitor going over every 15 - 20 minutes which was quite normal for us but the people sitting beside looked quite concern for us but to us it was normal . We were sitting and hoping that we had enough battery juice left to get us through our appointment and to the truck so we could plug it back in . Then sitting beside us was a couple with a few children but one that they had to bring in two coolers that carried syringes that they had to pump into there daughter through her back through a feeding tube what seemed every half hour . This couple also looked sleep deprived , exhausted and concerned . I sat there thinking the couple with cold is looking at us like poor people our son just has a cold and we sat their looking at the next couple thinking we just have carry a breathing monitor around maybe for a another month or two and they have to keep coolers to feed their what seemed like a 8 year old and who knows how long they have been doing this for . I left their with the statement stuck in my head it can always be worse . So some days I maybe repeating this more then once and maybe I even have told you it can always be worse but it can .
So when I think of my flooded basement and what now appears to have water in our roof and hoping its not enough to have our roof fall in on us. I sit her thinking of the people my sister and BIL helped evacuate out of their homes last night carrying all of what they could out of their homes or the people across the border that have been just given their evacuation warning yesterday or the people leaving their homes to fires and could not carry anything out as their was just no time too .
If i could have you all think for one minute when something doesn't go quite the way you want it to remember It could always be worse .
Thinking of everyone on the world today that is effected with this crazy weather we have been having either rain , tornadoes , floods whatever it may be you are in my thoughts and it could always be worse .
