#4 Lemon- "The Flat tire"

Last week's Lemon was when Mmy Graves Dissease hit rock bottom last Thursday night. Friday morning I had an early doctor appointment because I literally was feeling all of my bodies systems shutting down including my digestive tract and my muscular control. Friday morning it just so happened that J.B. was the first kid out of bed reminding me that today was the first day of summer vacation and because his last 4 weeks of school showed major behavioral improvement, he had earned a new lego set and "mom, what time does Target open?" was the first thing out of his mouth! It's true I did owe it to him, so I asked hin to come to my doctor appointment first and then we'd go. It would be nice to have company at this appointment since I felt so awful, even if it was only my 8 year old son. He has such a heart of empathy! It was just the two of us so we took Brent's Camary, and stopped for coffee at the gas station. Thank goodness we did because it was then I realized that I had a flat tire. I had to go back home and load into the Explorer, and leave the car in the driveway with no explanation to Brent. After returning from my appointment My dear sweet husband was in the garage with the car jacked up ready to fix. One more glass of lemonade please! If Brent had been working and this happened to me and I was alone...I don't want to think what would have happened. He also was able to go and get my perscription and J.B. got his behavior reward! This allowed me some much needed rest and quiet time to heal.
Can you turn your lemons into lemonade today? I sure can!
