I have written before about how people are always waiting for the weekends for a break...exactly who doesn't have busy weekends anymore? I am not complaining by any means, I like what I do with the kiddos & friends on the weekends. And if I get to sleep past 5:30am I am golden anyway!
This weekend is crazy for us. Not only do we have the Walk MS Dallas on Saturday, we have another school auction and the Tough Mudder (okay, that's not we - that's just me) on Sunday and throw in opening day for the baseball team Sunday night for the closer. Is this crazy busy? Yup. Yet, I cannot wait for it to be here.
It's not because I don't like my job or what I do during the week. I can honestly say I am one of the lucky few who not only likes their job but also likes the people they work with on a daily basis. I am looking forward to the weekend because it means I get to hang out with the kiddo - even if it is with thousands of other people - in support of a cure for MS.
This cause is near and dear to me as I have a friend who is more like sister with MS. She will be out there with us, walking with pride in orange shirts (a literal sea of orange) in the hopes that someday we will find a cure. Over the past few years, many new developments and drugs have been found through the research supported by our walk and those across the nation. In the course of fundraising this year, I have met so many other people who are directly or have loved ones who are afflicted MS and no one would know. It isn't a disease that you hear a lot about (such as cancer), but it is very real and affects many people.
I know this entry is more serious than most of my posts (which have been severely lacking this year - sorry) but it is what came into my head this morning! If you don't mind, please take a moment Saturday morning to say a quick prayer or have a quick thought for the cure for MS please...it doesn't take but a moment and you never know who you might be helping out.
