IF WISHES WERE..........................

I would love to say that things have been quiet around here. I would love to say it.
A friend of mine, her mom had a stroke. Thankfully the only thing affected was her
speech. My best friend had someone very close to her die in her arms.
Charlie has gotten 2 speeding tickets. Even though i just put out 158.00 to get the
speedometer fixed, because it was five miles off. And alex....... well alex no matter how
much trouble he's in, can always find a way to bring life to where ever he's at. He's been
grounded forever. Everytime it looks like he might get ungrounded he does something
else or a grade falls really low.
We've had are 2nd appointment at children's hospital yesterday to find out if alex will
ever be able to have surgery to create a makeshift colon. One more test to go. So far
the 2 he's had seem promising.
Well like i said this week has been anything but quiet and relaxing. The boys and i
were at o'reilly's picking up the speed sensor for chucks truck the other day. As we're leaving
i remember saying something to the affect of i wish we'd had known about this somehow
before the 2 tickets, or something. I just remember saying i wish. Well, my wonderful alex
with a straight face and matter of fact tone of voice. looks at charlie and i, and says,
"if wishes were fishes, we'd all be swimmin in the ocean." I kid you not. Where his mind
comes up with these things i'll never know. And not always the best timing, but after
spending that kind of money on a speed sensor. Charlie and i lost our composure and laughed
until we hurt.
