TODAY WE ROLLED WITH IT...COTTAGE STYLE...

Some days the best laid plans just have to wait for another day...
How are you at rolling with it...and "Going with the flow" when things don't go the way you've planned ?
I had a Dentist appt. at 11:00 am today...
Our Car windshield had a crack and was going to get fixed at noon...
followed by numerous errands in the afternoon...

My love wakes up and after we noticed the clear bandage over his port was ballooned up with fluid and blood oozing down his chest...all plans changed...instantly.
I calmped everything off...shut off the pump and off to Grand Rapids for the second day in a row.
I AM THANKFUL FOR...
A dentist who understands...
a calm husband...
good weather to drive in...
a sence of humor...
the words..."Don't worry, there's nothing wrong here we can't fix"...
going back ..Again..tomorrow and have the pack removed...for 10 days...
remembering to grab this "Cottage Style Magazine"...to gaze through

Today...we rolled with it..
Love you all, xoxo~Kathy.
REMEMBER....YOU HAVE UNTIL SUNDAY EVENING ....TO ENTER THE .."GIVEAWAY"
SCROLL DOWN TO THE FEB. 18TH POST.... HUGS.....

    I need to roll with it more. Trying to plan family birthdays and work around everyone's schedule sure makes it hard. But thanks for reminding me to roll.

    I need to follow your lead and learn to "just roll with it". Your attitude will get you through anything!

    I hope this little glitch gets taken care of and you have smooth sailing ahead.

    Talk to you soon ;)

    Love your attitude! I live closer than you do to G.R. and I grumble when I need to make the trip more than once in a weeks time. Many blessings!

    Bless you for understanding that life happens and we must "roll with it" whether we like it or not. Prayers for your hubby to get better very soon. Flexibility is my word for "roll with it". Keep creating...

    Kathy.....You just never know what is in store when you wake up in the mornings. I guess you just have to go with the flow. You know what they say about "the best laid plans"! I will have to look for that magazine. I have not seen it in my neck of the woods. Have a wonderful day ahead!~Hugs, Patti

    We always need to be flexible but at times like this you MUST take care of your hubby's needs before everything else. So glad you were able to get him in for medical help - and that you had some good reading material to take with you! Praying for you two. ~Adrienne~
