Last weekend, a girl from my class emailed me. She noticed that I was from Seminole and so is she. Her name is Ruby. She told me that her text book has yet to arrive (some Internet school book sites are sketchy). Anyhow, it was an inconvenience but I said to myself, "pay it forward. You never know when you might find yourself in a jam." She was very nice and brought the book back on time. I learned she works in the Wal-Mart pharmacy. I wished Ruby luck in getting her book in, she thanked me, and that was that.
I didn't sleep much last night. Mattie was up with a fever, runny nose, and cough. I tried to get her fever to break all day. No luck. I called our FNP during the day but she was gone. I kept waiting for Wesley to get home from work so I could take Mattie to the ER and get her taken care of. (BTW, Wesley has been home for a total of 12-14 hours since Wednesday.) Finally, when 5:00 p.m. rolls around Wesley is no closer to coming home than he was hours before, I decided to make one last call to the FNP. She answered! She said she could call something into the Wal-Mart pharmacy but I wouldn't be able to pick it up until Monday because they take 24 hours to fill Rxs. So she called it in. And I got online and got Ruby's number and gave her a ringy dingy. She happened to be in Wal-Mart, but not at work. I told her what the deal was and she said she would call me back. Within minutes she called to tell me that the prescription for Mattie would be ready at 5:45.
How cool is that? If I would've been stingy, I wouldn't have had strings pulled for me. And my precious girl wouldn't have her meds, because the FNP said don't bother going to the ER because the pharmacy there would be closed, too. What's up with that? Anyhow, it doesn't matter because things worked out. Don't ya just love it when you're rewarded for being nice? I do.
Poor Wesley is in bed. He is WORN OUT. I have to mention that he was sure to be home during the Xgames telecasting. We loved every minute of it. The Hice household is incredibly proud of the Moore boys and their parents. I also love it when good things happen to good people.
The other day I realized that I'm a lot nicer when I drink coffee all day. I find myself brewing a pot at 4:00 p.m. these days. I always feel sort of funny doing it but hey you do what works, right?
Okay, I better get off of her and get a few extra Zs in. Goodnight all!

God is good. Praying that Mattie gets better quickly and that you all get the rest you need.
You've always been good at 'paying it forward'. Maybe ya'll really should consider re-locating with Wesley's job....he works way too much there. Miss Mattie is better now? I got the pic last nite - it was so cute and surely brought a smile! Love You
I LOVE YOUR STORY!!!! GOD IS SO GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE U TOMORROW!
Ah, i love that story! I am a firm believer in what comes around goes around. And good for you for doing the right thing! I hope Mattie is feeling better.
Also, dont feel bad about the coffeee thing, i will brew cups up until bedtime, and i blame that on mom and dad because they do the same thing!!
Love you so much, cant tell you how nice it was to have talked to much this week. We gotta start making plans for a beach trip and next years x games!
I love this! I have seen it work in my life as well.... I try to do at least one thing every day for someone else (and mom says it doesn't count if you tell anyone about it to 'score points')...
