Well, now that I survived the Memorial Day weekend (working the entire time), I am spending a day recuperating. Literally. I don't know why, but I feel crappy. Could just be dehydration, since yesterday, it was just my boss and myself working all EMS calls at my work (we should have had 4 people total working EMS). Within 20 minutes of the game starting, we were busy. And I mean BUSY. Although I can't go into specifics due to patient privacy, suffice it to say we saw everything from bandaids to near death. It was loony.

So, today I sit here on my bed most of the day, staying online (haven't done that in a long time!), and basically RESTING. I figure if my body says "Stop and Rest", I need to.

Tomorrow is yet another day. I hope to begin writing a new PalmOS program tomorrow. Sketches of the screens are somewhat done already (Did that at night and during breaks at the DevCon last week). Oh yeah, I go back on Weight Watchers tomorrow. I've been very remiss about attending meetings, and have gotten sloppy with my diet. Don't even know what I weigh right now.

When God Made Moms

When the good Lord was creating mothers!!!!!
He was into His sixth day of "overtime when the angel appeared and said,
"You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."
AND THE LORD SAID....."Have you read the specs on this order?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic.
Have 180 moveable parts... all replaceable.
Run on black coffee and leftovers.
Have a lap that disappears when she stands up,
a kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg
to a disappointed love affair, and six pairs of hands."
And the angel shook her head slowly and said,
"Six pairs of hands...no way."
"It is not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord,
"It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."
"That's on the standard model?" asked the angel.
THE LORD NODDED....One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks
"What are you kids doing in there?" when she already knows.
Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't,
but what she has to know;
and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say,
"I understand and I love you", without so much as uttering a word."
"Lord", said the angel touching his sleeve gently, "go to bed, tomorrow...."
"I can't", said the Lord, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself.
Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick....
can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger,
and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower."
The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly.
"It's too soft", she sighed.
"But tough!" said the Lord excitedly.
You cannot imagine what this mother can do or endure."
"Can it think?"
"Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise", said the Creator.
Finally the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.
"There's a leak", she pronounced.
"I told you, you were trying to put too much into this model."
"It's not a leak", said the Lord. "It's a tear".
"What's it for?"
"It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness and pride."
"You're a genius", said the angel.
THE LORD LOOKED SOMBER.....
"BUT I DIDN'T PUT IT THERE".
