Really?!?

Well, this week I got to check something off my list of things that I never thought was going to happen to me. It wall started on Tuesday. Tuesday I was having surgery on my other foot, the one that I thought was my good foot, to fix a problem I had. Tuesday morning went by just fine. I got a call right before 9 in the morning saying that they moved my surgery time up. I show up when I was told to, but do you think I got into surgery before my original time? If you thought that, then you are wrong just like I was. My original time was 1:30 in the afternoon, but they told me to come in at 12:30. I didn't roll into the O.R. until after 2:30 what took so long you might ask? Well first off I thought they put me into the wrong waiting room because I was right next to a way old guy getting an endoscopy. That's right, they just me in the same waiting room to get an endoscopy. I was there for a foot surgery, not having something put up my backside! Anyways, they knew I was there so that wasn't the problem. The problem was that they called my doctor saying that they were running a little late and not to come in for a while. But here's the thing, the hospital never told me that they got behind again. Oh well, what can you do. Well my time came to go to the O.R. and I was way nervous, but the nurses were very nice and helped me a lot. So I'm in the O.R. and what do you think happened?!? I woke up twice! Not just once, but TWICE! How does that even happen? Lets just say that when I woke up and told them that I feel everything, the look on their faces were priceless. I've always heard of people waking up during surgery, but not twice. I thought that that would never happen to me. Well what can I say, I was wrong :(
Oh well, that's life right?

Ciara

How did this happen?? How did she go from this:

A cute little Cindy Lou Who to this:

In just a blink of an eye? Ciara turned 9 today, and I just can't believe it!! I doesn't seem like that long ago. I really don't feel like I'm 9 years older myself. Does anyone out there know who to stop this from happening? I don't think I'm ready for all of this.
Ciara is one of the best things that have ever happened to me. I am so grateful that I have her. I love her so much that there are no words to express this. Every day she makes me smile, laugh, and most of the time I'm in awe of how well she has handled her short little life so far.She has been through so much, and she's had to grow up so fast, looking back I don't think I could have been through everything that has happened and still have a good outlook on life like she does. Sure she has bad days, but who doesn't? She helps me out everyday, and even though she fights a lot with her sister, she is a big help and I know she loves her very much. I guess that's what sisters do, I wouldn't know because I don't have any :)
Anyways like I've said before, I love Ciara with all my heart and I can't imagine a life without her in it.
