Just so you know a little more about me.....here is what my right arm generally looks like! How does that tell you anything about me? Well....let me explain what's on my right arm....
In order of appearance.....my beautiful bracelet from James Avery
that my sweet dear friend Leslie gave me several years ago for Christmas.
It has the 23rd Psalm on it....not all of it but the first part.
I put it on my arm umpteen years ago, and it has NEVER come off since.....
mainly because I can't get it off. Many folks have offered to cut it off, the bracelet not the arm, during childbirth....airport security....etc.
I happily and proudly said "NO, IT STAYS! WORK AROUND IT!"
Next would be my blue rubbery bracelet from Cure Autism Now which has since merged and is now referred to as Autism Speaks....
it says, "EXPAND, EXPRESS, EMBRACE, ENGAGE, ENABLE"!
It's in honor of all of the families who are praying for a cure for their loved one with autism!
Next would be my $7 Walmart watch. I don't buy expensive watches, I buy cheap ones and throw them away when they break.
Next would be a pink ponytail holder. Everyday it's a different color, but I always have one on....in case one of my girls or myself happens to need a ponytail.
Yesterday I had an inservice meeting at my beloved preschool where I work one day a week and where my children have all attended....Elli is still attending. If you remember this post, I spoke about the most wonderful boss in the world....Evelyn. She is fighting breast cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy after having a mastectomy at the beginning of January. She was at our meeting yesterday, sporting a new short hair do, since she is about to lose her hair. As we walked in and sat down, she handed out pink rubbery bracelets that say "MOTHERS, DAUGHTERS, SISTERS, FRIENDS....TheBreastCancerSite.com"! Evelyn is one of the most faithful and selfless people I have ever met, and I am honored to be in her presence....much less....to be loved and cherished by her. She has said many times that she would gladly suffer what she has if it meant that none of us, her staff family, would have to! I love her and am praying for her complete recovery! We need her, and she needs us!
Then just for fun, and because I couldn't say "no"....here is Elliot's arm.
When she saw me taking photos of my arm, she was feeling....well....a little left out!
So of course I did what any mother would....and took a picture of her arm!
Isn't it sweet....chipped nail polish and all?
