Black Friday

Happy Black Friday everyone!
If you are a diehard shopper you are out right now with millions of others searching for that bargain. I, however, am sitting here in my jammies, drinking my coffee and being very thankful for a wonderful day yesterday. A day that NEARLY didn't happen for Shawn.

Shawn woke up feeling tired but ok. That quickly changed. He took a bath and then immediately got nauseous and started vomiting. This was the first time treatment did this to him. He was so disappointed and worried he was going to ruin Thanksgiving for our kids.

My father-in-law quickly came to the rescue, picked up the kids and took them to their house so they wouldn't miss a thing.

We hung low for a few minutes once things settled down for Shawn, he asked me to read Psalms 39 to him. I quickly got the Bible and started reading, but as I was, it frightened me because it was all about how " life is but a breath,.....and do what you need to do before the time ends.....". I was not wanting to continue reading but thought to myself "if it's important to him I hope there's something positive coming" because I can't read much more of this!!! Well, I finished, proud of myself for getting through without tears, and he quietly looked at me and said "sorry, that was the wrong one, it was Psalms 139!~ (which was much more uplifting and about how God knew about you and your life before he created you) WHEW! I thought he was going down a dark dark path! ha ha

Soon after that he said "you're gonna think I am crazy but I am hungry!" I quickly reminded him that I felt that way 4 times with each of the kids!!! So he threw on his bath robe, and we shuffled off to his parents to get there just in time for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast!!! Way to go Mom Long!!!!

Of course, the day ended with Shawn and his brother Shannon lounging on the couch watching the Cowboys win, (in photo) me getting my butt kicked in 5 Crown (card game) and my sister-in-law, Jenn, and I sneaking off for a little Pre-Black-Friday shopping.

All is well in the Long household.
Love,
Jess
