Happy Halloween

We have so enjoyed our Halloween this year! Beckham was a crabby crab. He hated the costume! I just told people he was in character. Sophia had two costumes. A princess pirate and a turtle. In the words of Sophia..."Mom, I just change my mind a lot." :)

I CAN DO HARD THINGS....DAY 1

A few months ago I read a blog entry on the sullengers blog titled "I can do hard things". I loved the post and it has stuck with me. When I read the blog I did not realize how dependent on this phrase I would soon become.

Today has been a hard day. I have repeated this phrase in my head over and over. I hope I soon believe it.

I CAN DO HARD THINGS!

My gallbladder no longer loved its home inside my body. It decided to rebell and consequently caused me a lot of pain. As most of you know my diet is not always the healthiest and so........I probably used my gallbladder often. I lobbied for a gallbladder transplant but my efforts fell on deaf ears. I am a bit nervous about life without this organ. But like it or not, here I go.
