TGIF......

I normally am not one of those people who get all jazzed up about the weekends. Not to say that I don't enjoy them but I am never a Yay, it's Friday!!! TGIF, kind of a gal.

However, I am more then thankful to see that this one has come to an end.

Monday- As I am laying on the couch, at about 1:00 in the afternoon miserable and tired, I hear our garage door go up. I am thinking weird, Eric must have had a slow day at work. Yep, it was a slow day. Slow enough he doesn't need to go back....Ever.

Tuesday- On my way to an appointment I have been waiting over a month for...my mother calls. I end up having to take her to the ER....I am thankful she is okay. But bummed I have to wait another week for my appointment.

Wednesday- I send a simple caring message to a family member, it turns into a huge drama, hurt feelings and more closed doors. I just have to keep reminding myself of that eternal perspective.

Thursday- Not only do I go into work early but I end up working a 16 hour shift because I have to take one of the individuals I support to the ER. Poor little man, he is so very, very sick.

Friday- Take Guido to the doctor's where we find our insurance has not been paying any of his bills because we are "double covered." I fix the problem (I think) only to find out when we go to pick up his prescriptions that the problem hasn't been fixed. My insurance company assures me they can fix the problem and to go ahead and pay for the $400 worth of medication in cash. They will reimburse me as soon as they fix their mistake. Interestingly enough when you speak to a supervisor, problems seem to get fixed really quickly.

Now as I sit hear typing this post. I reflect back on this week.
and you know what???
None of it matters. I have a lovely home with amazing neighbors and friends. I have a job that I absolutely adore. I have insurance so that we don't have to worry about paying insane prices for something that only costs $20. Lastly, I have an incredible family, that although at times is dysfunctional, is loving, supportive, and would never do anything to cause hurt or pain to one another.
I am blessed and I am thankful and look forward this weekend and the new week ahead.
