The sleep that I got did me so much good
I’d wish for it each night, if only I could
I had the energy today of a big jumping jack
I cleaned the house thoroughly never looking back
The hospital bed and commode are in place
I cleaned his room and also threw the waste
I sorted the summer and winter wear
With his weight loss, now the closet is bare
His tremors were calm, and a smile did show
So I took him to supper and then we did go
To Wal-Mart he headed straight for the toys
To buy a new car, he fitted in with all little boys
He grinned as he picked it and showed it to me
I smiled at him, as proud as a sister could be
I wish every day was just like today
But I will take what I can and thank God for this day.
Who I am 
Wonderful to hear, Terry. And a good poem to boot.

Yes, it was, Terry. And I slept through the night last night for the first time in over a week. Today, since I got home from church, has been a very relaxing one. So relaxing, in fact, that I kept falling asleep during a movie. But the phone kept waking me up. 🙂

I don’t own a cell phone and for some reason my portable dies rather quickly when off the base whether I’m using it or not. My other portable totally died and doesn’t work any more so I need to get a new phone. When I ‘m in the living room I have to run down a long hall and into my bedroom to get to the phone, and the answering machine picks up after only 4 rings (no other options on it). So I limp along as quickly as I can to catch it before the answering machine kicks in. Guess it gives me some exercise. 🙂

i just bought a new cordless phone that came with two phones, and I paid 40 dollars for the set. I didn’t think that was bad considering how expensive they can be. I only have a cell because my daughter only has a cell and she can’t call me from a land line phone, and so it would cost her a lot if i didn’t have the cell, but some day i am going to get rid of it because they are so costly
