Well, this week has been one of those.  The best of times, the worst of times.  Two steps forward, two steps back.  Sunshine and cloudy days.

Accentuate the positive:

  1. Amy kept down two meals that I cooked.  This is an accomplishment when she is NOT pregnant.
  2. The Reds exacted revenge on the Tigers, Little League that is.  We were undefeated this season until, well, they defeated us.  We got them back on Wednesday.  Now we’re 10-1.
  3. Some friends brought us more meals.  This is a nice blessing and one which ensures that my record of 2-0 (see #1) stands.  Special thanks to Suzi who not only brought us two meals, but also volunteered to take my concession stand duty today.  Wow!
  4. Amy felt well enough (that’s well enough, not well) to drive herself to get her blood test done yesterday.  That is the first time she has driven a car, let alone been out of the house, in almost a month.
  5. There was only one night this week with a child sick and throwing up all night.  (You can read between the lines on that one to extrapolate the negative).

Anyway, if you are missing your fix of Amy, head over to Cumberland Books and pick up her Plain Talk recording.  She’ll not be happy with me for posting this, but I think she did just fine with it.  It’s not earth-shaking and it won’t bring world peace or anything like that, but what do you want for $5?  Besides, when this post gets deleted, you will know that Amy is feeling well enough to turn on her computer.
