Thank you Laura for sharing this and you are SOOO not alone in these thoughts!

Here is her email:

Hello Doug and Mary,
Today not so good, mentally. I'm back to school this week. Today is my first day of full nursing classes for the semester. Yesterday, there was too much rough play on the play ground while my daughter was waiting for the bus and a kid broke her front adult tooth (approximately 3/4 of it).

She had to go to the dentist this morning and I was not able to be there for her because of my commitment to classes. To top off all the stress of the Nursing Semester starting up and my 7 year olds broken tooth, I'm PMSing.

All I want to do is get my Starbucks and a big Chocolate cake, get on my pj's, and sit in front of the tv and watch the bachelor while pigging out.

I never really realized how awkward that thought really is. Hmmm...I'm stressed so lets eat? Really? Instead of organizing better, holding my daughter, and taking some calming relaxing measures or midol? How does one get to the point of being so addicted to food.

I always justified it by saying " at least I'm not doing drugs or trying to drink my emotions away". But I am teaching my kids awful life lessons and I'm slowly killing myself.

So, instead, I pushed through. I got to school, had a good cry, and continued with my day and I'm doing much better now.

Talk to you again soon,
Laura

How many times have you heard that line...Life is short!!!!???

I met a mom yesterday whose baby died after 15 min of being born. Those 15 min are the most important minutes of her life. She cherishes them like you could never imagine. Those min are engrained into her mind forever. Life is short. I met another mom yesterday who had two months with her baby...and yesterday would have been her babies 7th birthday. Life is short. Believe me those two months are precious to her. They both say the same thing...THANK YOU! How can you thank a place where your baby died? That is just how amazing this hospital is!!! They give you the minutes, the days, or the months with your babies...I can't of anything more miraculous than that.

We are lucky to have Children's Hospital in our community! If you ever need it...it is here.

Today is the last day of Radiothon...please donate to this amazing place filled with miracle makers!! 866-916-0959.

Life is short...love the people around you...you never know how many minutes you have left.

Mary Love

My entire family has had this NASTY, UGLY Bug!!! It started with Cole...then Emma...then Doug. I thought I had made it! I was so proud of myself for fighting off the nastiest bug to hit our family in years! AND THEN Wammmmm-O! I got nailed!!! I was so down and out I could NOT even believe it. I finally went to the doctor and got some antibiotics and I finally feel human for the first time in almost two weeks!!!

I hope you all stay healthy!!!! If you do get sick, listen to it right away. Take care of yourself! Don't let it go too long...I have learned my lesson!
