Giving Life and Some Weekend Randomness

I'm so glad that it's the weekend. I didn't even have a bad week, but it's always nice when the end of the weeks comes anyway.

We got more snow this week. It actually amounted to quite a bit. Enough the Jacob's school closed on Thursday. They should've been closed on Wednesday too because it was getting pretty icy out, but that didn't happen. Jacob texted me to tell me he got to school okay that day, but that he almost went into a ditch (and also to tell me that his quick Ninja moves saved him from that happening!) What he didn't tell me until later was that he did a complete 360! I hate ice. I also ended up rescheduling my wisdom tooth appointment because I didn't want to drive to Decatur and risk ending up in a ditch. 2 coworkers ended up in ditches on their way to work this week!

Thanks to the snow, I had a pretty easy day on Thursday. I only had the twins until 11:30. And one other baby showed up at 10:30 and left at 3. Much easier than 8 babies! Yesterday however, I had 5 babies on my own. It actually wasn't bad at all. They were in pretty good moods. Of course, technically I should only have 4 on my own, but it happens to me enough that I'm almost used to doing 5 alone.

I woke up early this morning, and couldn't fall back to sleep so I got up and watched more Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. This afternoon Jacob and I are heading to Springfield to get him some new jeans. His have seen far better days and all have holes in them. Off to Kohls with a 15% off coupon and Kohls Cash! Then lunch/supper at Olive Garden. We have giftcards and 2 coupons. Don't know if they'll let me use both or not, but I'm gonna try! One is for $5 off with the purchase of 2 meals and the other is for a free appetizer or dessert! (Sure wish they had some Pumpkin Cheesecake!)

There was a girl who came to our door this morning asking if she could shovel the drive for us. I wanted to pay her but didn't have any cash so I asked if I could write a check. She said yes and so I asked for her name. She told me and then said, "I'm the girl who had a heart transplant 5 years ago." (I assume since I live in a small(ish) town that she figured I had heard of her.). Little does she know, she inspired me though. For several weeks I've contemplated becoming an organ donor. For some reason I've always been scared to. It's silly, but watching House and Grey's Anatomy lately has been really making me think about it and realize how selfish it would be to keep those after I'm gone. After she told me that I took it as a sign and came in and registered myself as an organ donor. It  makes me really happy to know that other people could potentially live because of me after I die. I mean, if something ever happened where I'd need a transplant, I would be forever grateful to the person who chose to be a donor. Think about it, if you aren't a registered donor. I think it's a great gift to give!
