Dear God It's Me Dana

The older I get, I realize that God truly must have a sense of humor. He always brings the most hysterical moments into my life - some that make me laugh and some that put me on the edge of tears. But always moments that make life OH SO interesting.

Like Bad Hair Days on a Baby....

Or a Dog that needs a $1500 surgery for bladder stones and must wear a cone on its neck and a onesie the rest of the week - funny and sad....

Or a daughter that proceeded to point and laugh at the dog everytime she saw it...

Or a sweet image of a recupping dog, just when I was thinking that this "damn dog" was driving me crazy (prior to surgery) -- and yes, all of you mothers out there understand this feeling, about your once endeared pets.

But, the funniest bit of God's humor had to have come on Christmas morning....

Last Christmas, after Samantha's arrival, I woke up with a D-sized chest plentiful of milk and fulfilling my long fantasy for "real" boobs (the joys of nursing)! YEAH!!

This Christmas I woke up to my first period in almost 2 years (hence cramps and break-outs like I was 14 all over again) and small and saggy boobs (the joys of post-nursing -- poor Keith)! I have to say that His funny sense of timing was not lost on me -- had I been bad this year, was this the "coal in my stocking?"

While I was in the process of whining about this to my husband (I blame the onslaught of estrogen), it was my dear, sweet husband that said "Dana, all this is, is God telling you that you can have more babies." I know, let's say a collective "ahhh" for how sweet this is. And, yes for those of you that know Keith, these moments of sweet abandonment are rare...but again another needed twist from God.

I have to say that the Man upstairs keeps it exciting! I think it does it to remind me how lucky I am. It seems just when I am stressed about money, hard on my looks or my value in life, missing family and friends, or just in one of my "whoa is me" moments...he makes me laugh at silly moments with my daughter, reminds me how sweet my doggy really is, reminds me how lucky I am to be able to have children and have the husband I have, and just well slaps me sideways and says "shutup Dana and enjoy life."

Dear God It's Me Dana and I just want to say...THANKS! :)
