Life is something, ain't it?


For some odd reason my boys love to watch reruns of The George Lopez show.  I watched it with them yesterday and it was the episode when George wins an award for being a great manager and his mother doesn't congratulate him.  It doesn't bother him at first because he believes his mother is incapable of complimenting anyone because it is just not her nature.  Cut to his party and his mother is congratulating her boyfriend left and right and takes the spotlight away from her son.  He finally gets upset and confronts her and she explains how she believes that acknowledging good things takes them away.  

I watched and thought how so many people believe that and moved on to the next thing.

Cut to this morning and I woke up with excruciating pain on my right side.  Now I'm as tough as they come but this morning I was crying and calling for my mama 10,000 miles away.  I called the Hubster at work and couldn't even get my words out through my tears.  He rushed home and we rushed to the ER.

Tests and a CAT scan later and they discovered that a cyst on my right ovary had ruptured.

Seriously?

Wow.

I'd been feeling so good but my body politely told me to have a seat and slow it on down. Guess what? I'm listening cause I never ever want to feel that pain again.

Things happen as they should, I believe that firmly so acknowledging how good I felt didn't bring on today's pain but the universe surely made me take notice.

    I have been around these here blogging internets since way back in 2003.  I love to write and this blog helps me get things out.  I am a wife and mother and just an African (Zambian) girl in an American world trying to find my way.
