Little tiny brains...

Well, Adam is slowly recovering from his tonsil removal this past Wed. He is the bravest little boy I have ever met (of course I am not biased at all). He did not cry once throughout the whole process except when they took the IV out. He knew exactly what was going to happen and was so brave! They told him to take the medicine to make him sleepy and not once did he complain. This time I did not have to go in to watch him be put to sleep which saved ME a lot of tears. The last 2 times I had to do that and I was bawling both times (of course after I left the room). The nurses said when he was waking up he had a smile on his face! He has been in heaven playing all his Wii games and DS games and playing with daddy's ipod. I usually have strict time limits on all that but not the past few days. He ate a sandwich today and did fine!

Taken a break this week with working on the business but I have set some deadlines for myself. I would like to have secured a commercial kitchen by the time I go to Cleveland. I found one that I really like and the lady there is very helpful. I have been working on some recipes and tweeking some things. I love pretty much everything I have made but that is different then marketing and selling food to others. So far the feedback I have gotten has been very positive from everyone I have talked to so we'll see what happens.

Started my Bible study last week and I think I am really going to like it. I forgot how nice it is to be involved in a study with women. All the women in my small group are much older than myself but I don't mind different perspectives, infact I enjoy hearing and talking to women who have life experiences and can share so much. I think we will all learn from each other.

Ali bought me a book on tape for Christmas that I wanted- it is Joel Osteen's new book. He has been listening to it driving to work and I can really see a difference in how this has influenced his thinking. You guys -if you have not heard him (Joel not Ali) on TV or read one of his books I HIGHLY recommend them. I don't care where you are in your life this will be the most uplifting words you have heard. Believe me I think God put Joel on TV many a time for us to listen to while Ali was laid off. We were sooo down and listening to him kept us both going. It changes your whole outlook. It was like he was speaking to US.

Oh so I bet you are wondering what the tiny little brains is about. So we went to Ali's boss' house last weekend and they were telling us about how their daughter had her tonsils removed by the same doctor and she asked if she could take her tonsils to school. I was like WHAT??? -I never heard of such a thing! They gave them to her in a little jar. We were laughing about it and I said I didn't think we would request that. So they wheeled Adam into the recovery room and we were all sitting around him, chit chatting and waiting for him to be able to go. All of a sudden Ali looks behind his bed and says "are those his tonsils?" I just started laughing because if you know him you know how he likes to play tricks- especially on me...so I was laughing and he said "No, really I think those are his tonsils!" I looked at the nurse and she said "Oh ya, can you believe how BIG they are?" So I looked behind the bed and sure enough there they were in a jar. I picked it up and of course Summer ran out of the room. Adam said "Wow- they look like tiny little brains". They did! Well, they were quickly put back where they were found and needless to say we did not bring them home!
