no running

NO you are not seeing things...I am blogging but I have not been running...since the run in the park that was not tooo great...i have been outa commision....I have been tired and it seems like every chance i have gotten to sleep in...I have......I had set the alarm today but shut it off and went back to sleep...sooo that is the running thing....

The rest of my life has been about that exciting altho' i did go to the beach last week...It was, as always, just waiting for me to come back...I enjoyed it more than I can say.....something about the sun and the waves rolling in soothes this soul.....I have 2 more weeks and I will go again....this time with 5 boys and a few of their parents meandering in and out of there....I hope that I have a moment to myself to just take it all in....I usually spend some time cooking and keeping things in order which is really ok...cause i love to see the kids having such a good time.......but I usually get a little down time in there to walk the beach and catch a few rays........It is a great shot of beauty all in one week for me!

My children are coming and going in all directions...i picked my youngest up from the farm last week. He is at least a foot taller...the extra weight he had put on before he left I guess stretched out over those long legs and arms cause he is much thinner to me. He enjoyed time spent riding the four wheeler and driving the truck on country roads and playing with all the animals. My brother has a dog that he named after him......and colts in the pasture that play and run during the day, a calf that has to be fed...orphaned at some point in time...My brother is a sucker for anything walking on four legs....He missed his calling by not being a vet.

I went to eat lunch after church with a couple and their baby....It is good to see one so little bringing joy to so many. He probably won't realize how important he is until he is much older. Do our kids ever realize how special they are. I am not sure they do.....I have told mine so many times that I think they are my gifts and keep me moving but I am not sure they understand it.........
The other day we had a delivery that was fine until the baby was born...and there was no cry and no heartbeat....we worked methodically doing what we have been trained to do....you could hear the collective sigh when we finally got her back....but for a minute in time we all held our breath and waited for the life to return to such a small little body....
it is very humbling to see that and know there is nothing you can do sometimes....BUT as always even tho' it was a little late in coming.....we watched as those hands started reaching and legs started moving......the evidence of life in a weak but precious cry..... She is doing well now .... waiting to finish her antibiotics and go home.........

this is so much rambling .....mainly because I am full of thought on this sunday.....I have missed the running but I am not sure when I will get back to it.....The tired has creeped up on me...and I am really just resting for a while.... i hope to be back on it soon....

hope all is good .....
