Why Searching Was a Good Thing

Yesterday, Little Man started to wheeze a little bit.  Knowing that I had plenty of Albuterol, I thought that it wouldn't hurt to give Ian a breathing treatment.  I found three sets of masks and accessories for each of my children that were labeled so nicely in their containers, but I couldn't find the nebulizer itself; so I had to go search for it.  As I spent about the next 15 minutes searching for it, I couldn't believe that I had actually forgotten where I had placed it.  I realized how it was a good thing because that meant we hadn't used it in quite some time.  As I continued to hunt for it I realized that it had been about a year since we used it last!  WOW!  If you would have asked me last year if I thought that we would actually go one year with out using it, I might have laughed in your face because that didn't seem fathomable at the time.  Well, it is true and that realization was a blessing to me even when I finally found it and gave Ian a treatment yesterday afternoon!
