Blood Donor Clinic

Good Afternoon Everyone!
 
Hannah and I are just on our way to town. We need to do some
grocery shopping and pick up Cody from the library and go give some
blood at the local clinic. Last time I went and took Hannah she loved it
when they fussed over her and gave her timbits and juice and
a coloring book to keep her busy while I was busy, lol!
 
Need to get some goodies for this weekend as my mom will be coming
to stay for the weekend and we will be having Colton's 7th birthday
party on Saturday.
 
I've been in and out all day quick, and realized I hadn't done up my
Avon order to send on-line, so had to get that done quick too, lol! It was
due at 7 this morning...I was only a couple hours late!
 

I hope everyone is enjoying their day!

I only started giving blood a couple of years ago. I had always wanted to do it and just never seemed to find the time, now I just make the time every couple months when they are in town. It takes about an hour and I remember the first time I went I was so surprised at all the questions they ask you, it's like being interrogated I swear, lol!!
 
I usually make an appt. to go and wouldn't you know today was the first time I haven't had one and when we got there it was packed full, with people standing nearly out the door waiting!! So strange for here but I come to find out that one of my sons close friends has a sister who has developed lieukemia and their dad is a firefighter here and they posed a challenge to the cops in the area to see who could donate the most blood at this clinic. We couldn't wait that long as I had to pick up Cody so we left...ah well...I'll give the next time again when everyone else has forgotten about it. I'm really looking forward to hearing how well the clinic went tomorrow on the local news.
 
Anyway this girl is only 11 and I do hope that she fairs well in her treatments, as I've certainly heard how grueling they can be. It's times like these that I am soooooo thankful of my family's health. I can't imagine the fear that family is living with, and it breaks my heart to hear of a sick child
