Okay, the secret is out. I am this day walking amoung a champion. Champion Dad, Champion Cook, Champion Nurse, Housekeeper, Dog Walker, Schedule Keeper, Homework Watchman, Shower Seargant, RULE MONITOR EXTRAORDINEAR!!!!
I have gotten up the last few mornings and had coffee with Doug and made lunches for kids and him. This morning I felt like my brain was swelling out the side ok my skull. Come to think of it??? It just might have been and it probably is. But, no fear, it feels better, much better after a rest.
Anyway, I finally got out of bed a few miutes ago, The kitchen is all clean, there is a load of washed clothes in the washer. House is all picked up and I am a blessed woman.
Thank you Doug, my sweet man, for handling all these many, many details it takes to run this family. I love you. You are a total CHAMPION!
love

Jeff the Shuttle Driver
So Im feeling well enough to remember most of what happened over the last two weeks. In particular, today I was thinking about Jeff, the Shutle Driver from the Holiday Inn Express.
Last Thursday, Diane and I checked into the Holiday Inn. When we got there, this nice shuttle van driver guy was standing by the door and offered to help us up to our room. We said thanks. While we were in the elevator, he asked if we were in Spokane for vacation. I snapped that I was there for surgery...and I have to admit that I wasn't very nice about it. I think I was frustrated and scared and I wish I'd answered more kindly.
After I went into the hospital the next morning it gets a little "foggy" for me but according to my sources, Jeff was the kindest and most considerate hotel staff our family has ever met. He offered to help in big and small ways. On Saturday, Jeff sent beautiful flowers and a card signed by the entire Hotel staff wishing me well and hoping I'd be feeling better soon. In addition to this, Jeff was very concerned that Diane got to the airport on time on Monday....such a kind, kind man. The thing that was so touching was that Jeff himself was leaving on Monday as well to head back east to care for his terminally ill father that was dying of cancer. It was his turn to return to the family home to nurse his dad for the next three months. I will post a picture of the beautiful flowers. I will never forget his kindness to my family. The fact that he was able to think aout me and my family blessed our lives in such a meaningful way. Thank you Jeff, the Shuttle Driver. May God bless your time with your father.
