My Wake Up Call.......

As I am sitting here at work tonight blog stocking..... I have come across so many blogs with people who know people with cancer. People with wife's, husbands, kids, pregnant, etc....... It kills me to read these blogs and read the things they write. Like.... one blog said "He feels well enough to go on a date tonight. Yay for us!" I think to myself really???? Thats what she is excited about?? I must get my crap together! Why do I stress about all the things that don't matter, when this poor lady is thinking about the last days with her husband and she is so excited that she gets to go on a date with him. I want to cry... okay maybe I did. I must get my priorities straightened out. I think to myself I need to cherish the time with my family. Many times I have cleaned the house while Noah plays with his toys by himself. What if something happened to him( I know I can do the "what if's" all day) or like when I have blogged instead of paying attention to Andy and not given him undivided attention??? I know this sounds extreme but really in life what matters to me is my family. They are all I have no matter what, they are there through the thick and thin. I love them. I am so lucky to have a healthy husband and son. Lately I have been so caught up in building our house and other things that really dont matter. I hate that I have let myself get to that point. I have so many things I have got to work on to be better. Andy is so good.. I never have to worry about him telling me that he loves me or him giving Noah attention. He is so good, I am sure I bring him down. I am a very lucky girl and have many things to be grateful for. My dad has always said... "all we need to survive is family, roof over our head, and food." Why do I worry about stupid decorations for my house that I really dont need???? (just an example of the many) Lets just say tonight was a great eye opening experience for me. Maybe a wake up call??? Sorry about this crazy post. I had to get it off my chest. Here are a few of my fav pictures.
