I was on my way up to a meeting this morning with a couple of coworkers, when I said, “Fuck. I forgot about the quality meeting.” (We have a production meeting every morning, but on Thursdays we have a meeting after-so freaking long. As I was walking back to my desk, I thought about the fact that I had just dropped the F bomb in front of one coworker that I don’t know that well. It’s really not a big deal. The language here is often to my level. But it got me thinking, that “Fuck” is my go-to word. I’m so fucking used to saying it that I don’t always catch myself and it slips out. It used to be, that my two worlds of “professionalism”, parenting, family, etc., were always a separate vocabulary that I use in my social crowds. Those lines have blurred. Am I proud of this? No. Do I cringe every time something pops out of my mouth and I don’t even notice and Caleb says, “Mom, such language.”? Yes. I do. Am I going to work on it? Nah. I love the F word. Very grown up, right? But I fucking love it. I’m just keeping it real ;) Hopefully that last sentence made me sound young and relevant-neither of which I actually am.
I’ve talked about my friend Sarah on here a couple of times. So, you know how much I adore her and admire her positive attitude. Yesterday, her husband let me know that she had a brain aneurism a couple of weeks ago. It was weird, we had been texting and then I got a text later that day saying, “My mom is in surgery. I hope she doesn’t die.” I was really worried for her Mom and have had her in my thoughts and prayers. I thought it was odd that I hadn’t heard from Sarah since then and text her Monday night to check on her Mom. Her husband got the text and called yesterday to tell me what had happened. –Apparently the last text I had gotten had come from her son, but I didn’t know this. It is very, very serious, but she has had some good signs. So, I ask you to pray for Sarah. She really is a wonderful person and is one of the most likeable people I’ve met in a really long time. Please let God answer our prayers. Please.
Well, I’m not sure how to follow up after that. I will let you know that I finally started eating better this week. Like LOADS better. No more meat (except seafood and eggs) and I’ve had one Diet soda a day (instead of like 5 regular ones), and I plan to stop soda completely come Monday. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. I feel good….
Thanks for being here all. Have a wonderful day.
