Random Ramblings Post ....Because I Can

I am so happy that I can blog again.

Although it isn't as often as I would like, I will take what I can get where blogging is concerned.

This past month has been a nightmare.  All I know is I am so happy that the good Lord got me through it all.

We had some interesting moments though, my daughter and I.

It started when we were at Target.
We were admiring the St . Patty's Day outfits they were selling; one in particular caught our eyes. It was a top of a leprechaun shirt, beneath the shirt was a pair of long pants with clovers all over them.
We were laughing hysterically at the outfit when all of a sudden some random guy comes, literally out of nowhere from behind the racks, and says "You should buy the pants and she should get the top!"

We were cracking up at this guy.

We left the men's department and headed to the make-up aisle, then to electronics and toys and we walked back past the men's department where the leprechaun outfits were and I kid you not that man, once again, pops out of nowhere and says to us, "Last chance!"

My daughter and I looked at each other and just burst...out...laughing.
Non-stop laughter, the kind that makes ya pee your pants(almost for me anyway).
I then asked my daughter, "Wasn't he wearing a different shirt before?"  We both burst into laughter as my daughter is nodding at me in agreement.

Yeah, it's a "You had to be there Moment".

There was just a weird vibe these past few weeks; at work, at home, on the road, at church.
Weird.

I remember asking a coworker of mine if anyone in our admin office seemed different.  I told her it was weird asking her that but I felt like I was talking to these people I knew and loved the past 3-6 years of my employment there and they were taken over by aliens or something.

Or maybe I was overtaken by an alien. Perhaps my brain was anyway.

*shrugs*

I got sick as a dog last week while volunteering at church. I only went in because the poor woman who runs the kids ministry has a low turnout of volunteers so I went in, looking and feeling like death. I got home from work that day, took a 40 minute nap, hoping whatever was making my stupid body feel like death would vanish.

No such luck.
I cried.
And I prayed...that I would be able to go home early. No babies, no need for me to be there.
I got to church and the pastor wanted to give me a hug, the director wanted to hug me and I held my ginger ale in the pocket of my coat, hands inside there as well and flinched as I said to them both, "I'm sick, please don't come near me."

The pastor then mouths in my direction, "Why are you here? Go home."
I stayed.
I barely made it.
I was white as a ghost and felt just as cold.

I was on my way out the door when I knew I wasn't going to make it home.
Made a pit stop to the bathroom.
Tinkled.
Washed my hands.
Saw an older woman who is a very dear acquaintance/friend of mine and she says to me "You don't look so good. You look pale."
I said to her, "I'm sick."
She proceeds to tell me all about her hubby's sickness and before she could finish, I say "I am so sorry but I am about to be sick," and quick as I could I ran to the stall.

You can figure the rest.
No need to go there.
As  I was up and exit the bathroom I start to walk towards the lobby and there, standing staring at me is the church secretary, my friend, and the husband of another friend of mine.  He says to me, "Are  you okay?"
(I am embarrassed at this point, but touched by all of their concern)
I respond with a smile and a nod and say "I just got sick, but I will be fine."

I was shaking and probably more pale than I was when I entered the bathroom. To be honest, I just wanted a warm bed and some Gatorade.

I touched my friend's arm and thanked her for her concern.  I  told my friend's hubby that I would be okay.

Apparently nobody believed me because as I unlocked my car door, he comes out and says to me, "Hey Barb! I can arrange for someone to drive your car home and I will drive you home."(I live like literally ten minutes away)

"NO thank you, I just want to go home. Thanks anyway."
Again he asks just to make sure; I nod, smile and thank him again.

God bless my brothers and sisters in Christ.

I love my church family.

I should go.

Have a few other blogs to work on.

I want to post a song I really love first though.

If I remember how to do this.

Until next time.....(oh, big news coming soon btw) ;)
