A Blip on the Radar ....

.... is what I hope tomorrow becomes.
Well .... at least I hope that's what it becomes to me.
A blip.

To my child ..... I hope it becomes a huge PLOP on the radar.
An event that will not want to be revisited.  Ever.
An event that will make an impression.
An impression that leads to a positive change.

That's what I hope.
That's what I pray.

I think that, all things considered, it will go well tomorrow.
Yes, this child made a stupid decision, and it caught up with him.
But then, who hasn't made a stupid decision?
Or several million?

We've all made such decisions.
Most of the time, we don't get caught.
For good.
Or for bad.
I happen to think that being caught could be one of the best things that could happen to someone.
I hope so in this instance.

I have great kids.
Six great kids.
They are all healthy and they are all smart.
Very, very smart.

Being smart does not keep one from making stupid decisions.
Not aways, anyway.
But hopefully, a day in court will keep this one from making such decisions in the future.

My cheek is a mess.
It hurts .... a lot, and it most likely looks like a piece of raw hamburger.
Sigh .....

I went to Circle tonight.
I've missed it.
Very much.
We had a good time.
I had a wonderful margarita.
And got to escape for a couple of hours.
Yay for escapism.

Speaking of hopefully, hopefully some of you are covering me/us/my cheek/my sleep in your prayers.
That would be great.

Speaking of prayers ..... Vicki's son G is having another surgery tomorrow morning.
There is too much fluid billing up around his kidney, thus putting too much pressure on it.
And so tomorrow they will go in and re-plumb the drainage issues so that this will no longer be a problem.
And hopefully he'll spend one night in the hospital and then be able to go back home.
Prayers from my Peeps would be great.

So, as far as I can tell, you'll have your hands full praying tomorrow.
We're supposed to be in court at 9:00, but the case might not be called for hours.
Sooner is much better than later.
Another prayer.

I need to go to bed.

And hopefully sleep.

And hopefully stop chewing on my cheek.

And hopefully will feel the result of multiple Peeps' prayers.

Thanks, Peeps.

And Happy Wednesday.

:)
