So heres the scenario...Its HOT...remember the other day when it was hot enough you could fry an egg on the sidewalk?? (note to self, try that next time its HOT) well, my body goes insane with the heat...MS and heat do not mix, like oil and water kinda thing. So in all the heat, Im feeling awful, Im full on sick...weak, exhausted, nauseated, in pain (way more than usual), seeing spots that kind of thing which is "normal" for me when it gets hot, which is why I fear summer like a big gargauntan spider on the wall...or a nest of wasps...that kind of fear and then I also have loatheness (is that a word?) you know, loathe, to hate, to not be friends with (boy thats an understatment of the century!) every summer I spend like that, believe me it makes for a great summer!
So anyway, back to the HOT weather...so Im sick in bed watching Price is Right along with my other fav shows...normally at 10AM Im up doing stuff but not when its HOT, but when this hot thing comes on, Im lucky to make it to the bathroom. Im upset wondering 'why me', 'why cant I be like other people' etc etc (you know the whole "woe is me" bit, uh yes I do go there, Im honest enough to admit it :oP ) Then, suddenly, I get this GREAT IDEA (Can you see the light bulb above my head? Well if you dont now, you would have , it was there) this idea is the idea of all ideas...I will do a rain dance/ meditation calling for rain...please rain, please rain! Om...om ...om...om ommmmm. Of course Im telling all who will listen of my plight and sunsequent plan...I get to work busily, doing whatever it takes to get rain...om om om...dance dance (Saturday Night Fever playing in the background)
For the next few days I'm working hard...please rain come, please rain come! Om...Om, Om, Om...dance, dance dance! And then.....I get a call today (Friday) and GUESS WHAT! My friend Kari R tells me its raining! Its actually raining! I have special powers, I can make it rain...yippee! Just look out your window (present time 10:18AM) its downright pouring, and I think we even have hail! When I do a job, I do it right! For those of you who know me, I am a determined person, so if I want rain, I will do whatever needs to be done to make it happen, and thus so it is here. My fav kind of weather...well I do like it colder, but I didnt do a cold dance/meditation..my body has a P-A-R-T-Y when its like this! Not that I always feel great, but I certainly dont have the same symptoms to the extent I do when its hot. So I have to brag, I made it rain! I made it rain! I guess there is something to that "Om" thing (well not really, but I had to throw it in for the laugh factor) I love having special powers!! Anyone have any wishes they would like me to work on? Lottery winners? Have a spouse who leaves the toilet seat up or forgets Valentines Day Have a closet that is too small? (OH wait thats Kari R...Kari R never fear! Your superheor friend is working on your closet issue at this moment)Need your house to sparkle and shine before guests come? Well then apparently Im your girl!
Ok so maybe in all reality I dont have powers...I know God is the only One capable of making rain...but just for a moment (and anytime I want to dream) it was absolutely fantastic to think that I could actually make it RAIN! To look out the window, and know all the hard work I had been doing, and to see the fruit of that labor, was quite frankly like bringing new life into the world (ok well Im being a bit dramatic, but go with me here, please) I give all the glory and credit to God the Most High,for He is good...but just for a moment in time, it was nice to think I was a superhero and could make things happen...I had plans...like to make the streets lined with chocolate, and the trees to be cotton candy with money hanging on them like Christmas ornaments, for the next rain to rain jelly beans (jelly belly jelly beans, I only make the best) and wheels on cars to be chocolate chip cookies, and for there to be no taxes yet we get humongous tax refunds and that bills could be paid when you can, no due dates (wouldnt that be lovely?!) oh and the more candy you ate the more weight you lost! Golly jeepers, what else could I drum up???...oh I know...my kids would never talk back to me and would clean up after themselves and offer to do things to help...now that would be awesome! Only Jesus can walk on water, but boy would I love to be able to do that! Any ideas guys? Well, so my dream of being a superhero is now over, at least for the moment...Im thinking of making God a deal that if He lets me be a superhero, I promise to be good, read my bible faithfully, love others unconditionally, be slow to anger and quick to forgive...etc etc you know all the stuff we are supposed to do that we dont always do, hence thank you for your grace, Lord!
The rain has now stopped, my dreams have now been crushed....but there has to be a way that I can be a superero 24/7...I mean who wouldnt want cotton candy money trees humongous tax checks? Ive got a closet to work on that I can in no way make happen without special powers (shhhh dont tell Kari R pls!) Maybe if I make a cape, the powers will be here to stay...so the next time you see me, if Im wearing the cape...your wish is my command...if you need to be saved from a burning building, your kids are giving you attitude, or you dream of world peace, Im your girl! Im off to save the world!
