In the last 24 hours

-I received news I am going to Haiti with Project Hope and got my e-ticket. My ship, the USS Kearsarge will get us in Haiti, they will pick us up at the airport and take us to the ship in a helicopter (I am sooooo excited about that)then it is R&R time for the crew (guess we are getting there just in time for some fun) and then we go to the Dominican Republic. I am bummed about not doing the work in Panama, but there's next year.
-My daughter Layla who is in Tennessee to deliver her sister-in-law called me to tell me the baby was born by caesarean. All is well.
-My neighbor calls me to please help.... a neighbor down the street (must have been on drugs or has some kind of mental problem) was running in the street naked, tackled this old man who was waxing his car, who in turn sat on the unclothed guy, the police were called, and while the cop was handcuffing him, the guy babbled out numbers in an incoherent manner. I went inside the old man's home to tell his wife that a little excitement just occurred, that her husband is fine, that when she sees the police and the ambulance outside, they are just making sure he is ok, just a little cut on his hand .....hahahha.....
-Two hours later fire trucks, cops and rescue squad were 2 houses down and I never found out what happened.
-The electrician tried to hook my office up with electricity, only to find that the wires were cut at the main. Now I have to wait until Monday to get it hooked up.
-The phone company, yesterday turned on my number, 385-BABY, but were unsure of hooking it up in the office. Another crew came today and now I have a phone wire draped across the yard. Another crew will come Monday to bury it.
-I get a phone call, that one of my lovely families had a tragedy. I have delivered their 7 kids, she is pregnant with number 8, but yesterday, a horrible accident.... she and the kids were planting fruit trees, she had to move her car, and suddenly baby Joshua ran out in front of the car. He died. I was shocked. The baby who was born into my hands, to a family I adore is now gone. I got into midwife mode to tell her support people to make sure she gets nourishment, rest and vitamins and then when I spoke with mama Kim, I lost it. My heart aches.
-Salvador went to the Seminole game and I heard the stealth airplane go over the stadium..... what a roar, rumble....wish I could have seen it.
-Kristopher, Amy and I cleaned the backyard of every bush, vine, gumball and debris. Then I brushed the pool. Those are forms of meditation, working in the yard and pool, and all I could think about was the Plath family.
