Mom n' Me Monday

Mom n' Me Monday was created in an attempt to make myself get in the picture with my kiddos. When my kids are grown, I don't want to look through my photos only to find that I am not in any of them! So, I'm on a mission to "capture" these memories.

*********************************************************************

This is my mom.

I love her.

And this post was going to be all about her!

I had great aspirations to dig out some old pictures of us and share them.

I hoped to share a spattering of memories.

I wanted to tell you what an amazing woman she is.

It seems my plans for a poignant post were once again stifled.

Instead, I spent the evening in the emergency room with J-boy.

Seems he had a bit of an impaction.....of the fecal variety.

We had reached home sweet home after an all night, 19 hour drive.

Most of which, J-boy writhed in pain.

By last evening it was apparent that the pain was increasing and things weren't getting any better.

I don't know...the screaming might have had something to do with it!

So, I had the pleasure of hanging out at the emergency room from 6:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m.

An ultrasound and an X-ray revealed an impacted load of "you know what" with a massive gas bubble trapped in between.

This, in turn, caused J-boy's bladder to be blocked and unable to empty.

He was a mess.

We are talking howling, sobbing, and writhing.

And can you guess who was there with me?

My mom!

As per usual.

She is always there.

In my sleep deprived state, I was having difficulty knowing whether to sob or to laugh hysterically at J-boy's antics.

While I know he was in a lot of pain...the DRAMA level was at an all time high.

When I needed a moment to turn away and re-compose..my mom would pick up right where I left off.

She cheered with us as J-boy described the enema he received and the massive "download of software" that came thereafter.

Her relief matched my own to see our little J-boy pain free and returning to his kind, sweet self.

So, while this was meant to be a tribute to my mom...life happened.

And, as usual, she was there.

Doing what she does best, serving her children and loving us well.

If I wasn't so exhausted and spent right now..I would RISE UP and call her blessed.

I'm sure she won't mind if I remain seated.

As Proverbs 31:29 so eloquently states,

“There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,

but you surpass them all!”

Thank you, Mom.
