Nie Nie is amazing!

I just have to say I believe in faith, I believe things happen for a reason be it good or bad or otherwise. Well today I was online with the TV on with background noise, or so I thought.

I sat here listening to the TV and all of a sudden I heard Oprah (who I never ever ever watch) say and here is Stephanie Neilson(I hope I spelled that write) also know as Nie Nie on her blog. OMG my mouth dropped. I had to stop everything and be thankful I had the TV on and I have DVR. I stopped everything. I remember hearing of this story of a woman who was getting an outpouring of love and prayers because she had a blog. I remember thinking yeah and who said blogs are just blogs. See these are those friends I speak of. Everyone near and far whether they know NieNie or not was praying for her and showing her family love after a horrific accident her and her husband where in.

I sat in awe, she is gorgeous, both inside and out scars burn and all. I just sat telling my children and husband please be quiet this lady is absolutely amazing. I listened to her story and it brought tears to my eyes. The struggles her family's had. The decisions that they had to make, that she had to make. They sat there saying how she was on life support and how they prayed and kept her alive. I said to my husband do you remember our conversation we dont want to live on life support. Imagine this had been us and you unplugged me when I could have comeback and been alive and had a life. As much pain as this woman is in she continues to live her life. She does things and goes places and is a great person. She inspires me.

Then Oprah reads a letter from a viewer telling her how she hates her life and if she has to play play-doh one more time she will kill herself. OMG that is me, well sometimes.. without the play-doh, more like with drums and homework and fighting kids and just being home. I dont want to kill myself either but I related more to her then I did to NieNie. Oprah sent this woman to live a day in NieNie's life and OMG I cried, over and over and over again, the tears streamed down my face and I was sad. I was embarrassed for this woman and myself. I can't believe we woman complain and this woman is living with pain every day to be with her children, husband and family. She chose life.

It was then that I decided I must do better. I love being a stay at home Mom. My best friend made me realize that a few months ago. More to come in next post. I realized I have been doing all these other things and I need and want to do more. Not because I have to, not because someone told me to but because I want to. So I went and I told my daughter who drives me completely insane on a daily basis and makes me glad I have medication to calm down sweetheart why dont you read some more of that book for your book report and then come lay down and watch some TV with me, and what did my monster child sweet little girl say to me.... NO. So instead I told her OK go to your room and pout I dont want to deal with the attitude. Tomorrow will be better I hope!!!!
