Today I am thankful for a friend, co-worker and fellow mom. Jessi and I have worked together for the last seven years - in two different companies and our kids our nine months and 1 day apart. We have a unique relationship - one that does not tolerate mushiness or compliments - so I have to be honest in saying that typing this feels awkward. Today I had an awful day. I woke up at 2am to an on-call emergency and never really went back to bed to get any quality sleep....Olive woke up (something she hasn't done in months) and then the on-call phone went off again. Then I got moving, ended up getting a speeding ticket this morning, fought with the insurance company, didn't get much work done, and so on and so on. However, Jessi is the kind of person I can tell of this to and she'll find a way to make me feel better. The one positive thing that came out of my day was getting an appointment for Olive with the pulmonologist to figure out what this child has been sick with for the last three months. This is a doctor that is difficult to get into - but my friend Jessi has some connections and pulled some strings - and the next thing I know - I have an appointment for the babe and I am so thankful for this. I am thankful for Jessi.
Dear God - thank you for this friend. Thank you for the unique relationship we have built. Thank you for the trust I have in her and the reciprocity we have developed. I thank you for placing her in my life. Amen.
