My Thermometer Runneth Over

"The Moon is full early today, so it rises not long after sunset this evening and remains in view for the rest of the night. But since the night is short, so is the time for moonwatching, so June's full Moon is sometimes called the Short Night Moon."

Tonight's full moon is beaufitul and a harvest orange color. There's even a partial lunar eclipse tonight, though not visible from our house. A hue surrounds it showing the humidity in the Earth's atmosphere and it looks like it's sitting on top of the trees in our neighborhood. As stunning as it is to look at, things happen when a full moon is in the sky. It can go a little wacky down here on planet Earth when the moon is doing it's own verison of a full monty.

Tonight, crazy hit our house. Well, not so much crazy, but high-gear for sure and pure emotion.

My sweet Duke starting having problems that totally made me think today was his last day. I won't go into what happened, because it isn't for the weak-stomached, but let's just say I had little reason to believe he was going to come home with me from the emergency room this evening.

Turns out it was side effects from the pain medicine he had been put on earlier this week.

Nonetheless, I had a visual I won't soon forget and was thankfully able to sheild the kids from it. They didn't need to see it. I got him and everything else all situated and cleaned before I called them in the room to tell them I had to take him to the doctor right away.

I was a mess. Even now, hours later, I feel like I've been hit by a truck and someone snuck sleeping meds in my water.

So in regards to my previous post...sometimes we just have those days that we think, "This has just GOT to be the last crisis that is coming my way for awhile...please."

The saying, "God never gives you more than you can handle" has me seriously wondering sometimes.

It makes me think of those thermometer signs you see for fund raising projects.

I think it's safe to say mine is over the 100% mark now.
