44 years old and goals accomplished

S.H. in Cali so, no Creative Meeting. No meeting next week, my family going boating, yeah!

In 2009  I turned 41, I made two goals. First I wanted to be in an art show. Second I wanted to have a book published or a editor seriously looking at my work. I accomplished the art show and I have a manuscript in. I am please with creating goals and following through with them. I stand as a witness, if I can do it, ANYONE can.

I turned 44 today, a nice even number. I had a secret wish that a phone call or email would come and tell me, "Ruby, I am intrested in your work, please call or email me." But no such thing.

My birthday, went as followed. My daughter who is in Cosmotology School, asked me to be her hair dying model. I knew she would take about 4 hours. As we were in the 3rd hour, my 19 year old son came in with my 4 year old son. My 4 yr old's left check, chin area was swollen, red and  hot to the touch. He had been sting by a wasp the day before, and 24 hours later, having a allergic reation. It got worst from there. I asked my 19 yr old if he would take my 4 yr old to the doctor's. He agreed. An hour later my 19 yr old called saying Wal-Mart would not fill his prescription, they could not find his records. I asked him to let me speak to the attendant, but he had already walked out of line. I asked him to bring the script home and I would take care of it. When he got home I read the script and relized that the name was wrong. We had adopted our son 3 months ago and it had his birth name on it instead of the adopted name.
I called the Doctor's office. Long story short, it took 2 more hours to get the records straight and the perscription writen out with the right name.

Needless to say. If my birthday would have been a nice birthday cake and ice cream with the family, I would never remember. My 44th will always be associated with the day Devon's face blew up, because of a wasp sting.
