this week

on sunday night I took my normal bedtime pill like i always do but im pretttttty sure it got stuck in my throat? it is a pretty big pill (capsule kind)? has this ever happened to you?

i woke up and seriously felt like the pill was sitting RIGHT at the bottom of my throat. it hurt to breath and i think the shell of the pill was starting to melt off and giving me heart burn? i walked around and jumped up and down a few times to try and get it to go down. brilliant, huh? then i googled it and saw that eating a piece of bread helps get the pill down. so i ripped apart a piece of bread and stuffed it down my throat. I don't think it helped. instead i shook drew and told him we needed to go the hospital because now i had a pill AND a wad of soggy bread stuck in my throat.oh well. the pill is gone now. ha. 

this was my nightstand in the morning. i have never liked bread crust and apparently I don't like it at 3am either. 

it was just kind of a blah week. all the Boston news and the fertilizer plant explosion and the rain came back. that just added up to Thursday night dinner of mac and cheese and bacon. yep. we did that. definition of comfort food? ;)

it was also my papa's birthday. i just miss him so much. he was so wise. :/

all the stuff that is happening across the world is just plain awful. no way around it. it seems like the horrible shootings and bombings and mass killings are getting closer and closer together. Used to be one incident every few years, now it seems they are once a month.

i try to get my mind around it, why would they do this? why would God let someone do this? i think we are all just getting kind of beaten down.

ya know what?

i think the only thing we can get from this is that our time here is so temporary. If someone can't be safe during a 26.2 mile RUN or doing their job at the place they have reported to for 30 years, than I don't know.

i think the only thing we CAN know is that we need to love each other because God is showing us that these things can happen ANYWHERE. to ANYONE at any time. Not that we should live in constant fear, but we are seeing example after example after example of how we need to live each day like its our last.

i think we are having a hard time getting that message. I still fret about calories and let it ruin a fun dinner out with friends. I spend too much time on the Internet getting jealous. parents spend way to much time at the office and not enough time with their kids in the backyard. I think God has taken to these extreme measures because we are all having a hard time getting the message.

we are not promised tomorrow. so love, love, love, love like it's your last.
