Life in Review, Dec. 8-15

What a week it was
Started the weekend, baking cookies, and making fudge,
while hubby was at retreat.
Shopped for gifts, and bought a few for myself.
Cantor on Sunday, brought communion
to neighbor, watched football, and cheered!
Worked on gifts, delivered donations to St. Mary's for Christmas baskets on Monday.
Shopped for items for Senior Christmas bags for Church, shared lunch with friends, and Hubby,
then delivered items to church on way home.
Back to church @ 1800 to put bags together, followed by choir practice
for Christmas.
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday this is what I did:

Babies, babies everywhere.
It's been a zoo @ work!
Do all the mamas want to deliver
by Christmas?
not all of it was fun and games, though,
among the joy was hearbreak, and tears,
devastating loss of babies still, emergency C/S,
and ICU transfer.
When I left Friday eve, there were 13 babies
sleeping, fussing, cuddling with co-workers.
WELCOME, LITTLE ONES!



Today, I helped with picture-taking for the Area Church Directory,
then gave out some of the Sr. bags, then invited our pastor, and friends out
to supper @ Rick's Steakhouse. Great to relax, and enjoy nice company with
friends and hubby.
But the best was coming home to a warm glow in the fireplace, and
watch our doggies relaxing on the sofa.

What a busy week! I knew of one of the sad baby tragedies you were referring to. So sad... It's nice to end the week in front of the fire (:

Too sad about the losses, I cannot even imagine...how sad.
What a great way to end the week though, I am jealous of your fireplace right now!
