When it Rains it Pours

These words are spoken so true! My tiny little family had yet another set back. My dear dear papa (my dad), had a heart attack in the middle of the night on Saturday. Thank heavens he is alive, and going to get through this. I would like to forget the entire month of April 2008. 4 people close to me have all suffered some kind of trauma! Torn tendons and ligaments, full blown double pneumonia , a broken leg, and now a heart attack. If this continues I am going to have to change the name of my so called "magazine", because for me right now bad things have come in 4's. All I am hoping now is that all of these April showers are going to bring some wonderful May flowers.

The Cast

As a mom this was truly one of the hardest days of my life. I consider myself pretty strong, but after listening to my child scream in pain as they wrapped his leg in the cast, I broke down, and cried. Everyone kept telling me how wonderful he was. I admit he was great, he screamed but did not kick or try to escape. He would try and curl into a little ball, then they would have to straighten his leg, and reposition his foot, and this caused his to scream even more. All in all he has to be in this cast for AT LEAST 8 WEEKS!!!! Please come visit me, I am going to need a break!! He cannot put any weight on his foot or leg for at weeks, so he even gets a wheelchair!!



This is his broken leg, and the swollen foot. If you ask him he will tell you his ankle is broken because that is where it hurts. Can someone explain this to me? He has a spiral fracture to his Tibia, why does his ankle hurt?


Here we have the final product. Bring you little ones over to sign it! Braeden thinks it is cool to have his friends sign his leg.

Tell it to Me Tuesday

My creative writing skills (which I do not have to begin with) are running very low. So, seeing how my life is rolling at the moment the title of MY magazine would be THREE. This has a multiple meaning, one being that three has always been my lucking number. Second, three is the date of my birth (April 3rd). And last, bad things they say come in three's and I have certainly had my three as of late. Braeden breaking his leg (more on that to come), my mom was in the hospital last week with pneumonia, and Chris tore the ligaments and tendons in his arm at work last week. I am sooooo starting this magazine!!! The magazine could revolve around 3's. It would be 33 pages long, always issued on the third day of the month, and the March (03), issue would be a special one. OK, really I need some uplifting in my life LoL!!!

All the B's.....

So, my Sunday evening started with a phone call from Dave at 7:30 saying....Braeden has a surprise for you. We have been in the emergency room for over 3 hours and HIS LEG IS BROKE!!!! At what point do you think he was going to tell me!!! I am ok his leg is broke (he crashed his bike pretty hard), but please please tell me next time you are taking my son to the emergency room!!! I was furious. I am over it now, but he brought my kids home and this is what I have.





My Darling Katie fell asleep with her soccer ballon.....





So what a great Sunday evening. We have bikes, breaks, balloons, Braeden and Bird(Katie's Nickname). Happy evening to you all. Braeden can sure use the good wishes, he is a very sad little boy!

Tell Me Tuesday.....Benjamin Franklin said: ”Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead.”

In Sarah's words I should be able to come up with a great response to this weeks pondering thought.....And I have. I am great at keeping secrets so I must have killed my friends. JUST KIDDING!!! Can I take anything seriously? I agree with this quote. At fist I thought, no no I don't. There are times good friends can truly keep secrets, and times I know I have kept a secret. But truthfully somehow it always will come out. Maybe right away, or months down the road, or even years. Most people have that ONE person they always confide in. Whether it be a spouse a friend, a PET. Who knows. Someone somewhere knows. Big brother is watching you.

The New Me

This is the new me. Well, only as I need it to be. I am slightly near-sighted, so I am not blind, but these wonderful glasses help me to not get headaches. OK, I know that was completely improper English grammar, but I know you still love me :) So, what is the honest opinion, good or bad? I feel weird wearing the bigger chic plastic frames. I feel a little white and nerdy. Haha for Wierd Al. I had a busy weekend, more on that to come.

Tell it to me Thursday?

Well I missed my Dear Friend Chelsea's post so I am going to do it now? LoL. I wish someone had told me.....This is a scary place for me to go. See for me, not all my friends know some of the true reasons behind my separation and soon to be divorce. Many of them think most of what happened fell on my shoulders. Truth be told there are lots of skeletons in his closet as well. Ask me sometime. SO, I wish someone had taken be by the shoulders and looked me in the eye and told me that I needed to stand up for the truth, and righteousness, even if it meant going against members of my own immediate family. I know this is kind of serious, but this is a lesson I have learned the very very hard way. The church is true, people aren't and I see that more and more everyday. I should have fought harder for what I know is right. Now I know, and hold it even dearer to my heart than before.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Did anyone know my birthday was last Thursday April 3rd?

APRIL FOOL'S BABY

Yes it is true, no joke about it...Braeden is an April Fool's Baby. Not to mention the fact that I had in completely natural because my doctor wouldn't let me have an epidural!!! Happy 4th Birthday! You make me so happy, and I am proud of all the things you are learning now. You are still my cuddliest baby, and my most emotional :) Love you lots and Huggies!
