Rescued

With my 30th birthday approaching, I think I am really starting to fall apart, physically & mentally! I mean, I am still dealing with the mysterious chest pain (waiting to be called back for an appointment with a specialist to determine if there is some digestive issue like an ulcer or reflux). I have been really forgetful since I was pregnant, but it seems to be getting worse. I like to think it is just because life is so hectic, and I have so many important things to remember, that I can't seem to remember the smaller things....like the speed limit in surrounding neighborhoods!

Yesterday, I went to the early service at church while John stayed home with Joshua. After I came home so that John could get ready to go to the late service, I decided to take Joshua & go to the grocery store. I got the diaper bag & we headed out. When I was down to the last 2 items on my list, I suddenly realized that I didn't grab my wallet out of my purse before we had left the house. Normally, all of my stuff is in the diaper bag, but since I had just been to church alone, I had everything in my purse. So here I was, with a cart full of groceries (including meat that had been sliced at the deli), a tired toddler who had just finished eating the snack I had brought for him, and no cash, check, credit/debit cards with me. I frantically sent a text message to John (which took me like 5 minutes to do because I don't text, and my phone is not one that is set up for easy texting), and prayed that he had taken his phone in to the service with him. Luckily, he did have his phone & came to rescue me. Joshua & I wandered through the store for 20 minutes waiting for John, who delivered my wallet & took Joshua back home while I checked out.

John has also taught me recently that I don't pay attention to things very well any more. He didn't shave for like 4 days before I realized it! Then, he shaved & I didn't notice until he mentioned it that evening. He didn't take it personally. I think he has learned that I have a million questions swirling through my head at any given moment.
