Kaylee, either you are very brave or crazy...did you have a baseball bat in hand? Thank all goodness that nothing further happened. It could have been some kids playing with garage door openers, but how did the light go on? Too scarry!
My MIL's 80th birthday party was a huge successIt was held at my SIL's and was a surprise. We all told her it was a wedding shower for my DD (it actually WAS supposed to be a shared birthday/shower day but someone else had already planned a shower that night for my DD so we just stuck to the birthday) . My MIL took her gift for my DD over to my SIL's a week in advance and kept telling everyone all about the shower LOL. So she was expecting all of the out of town relatives and friends. etc but what a surprise for her when she walked in and we all yelled "Happy Birthday"
We all helped out by bringing "potluck" and had a wonderful day together.
Oh, dear. I've been away for a few days and now I'm really, really behind. About 150 pages, I think. Did I miss anything good?
Thursday morning I was on my way out to the car in the garage to go to work. I loaded a bunch of stuff in the car because we were going camping that afternoon. Well, on my final trip out, I noticed I forgot to turn off the light, so I jump back up on the 2nd step, opened the door, turned off the light, and turned to go down the steps and to the car. Well, I guess I lost my balance or footing or whatever, but I fell onto my right side, hard, really hard. Thank goodness I didn't hit my head, I was able to stop that with my right arm. However, I did do some damage to my right ankle. I laid there for a good 20 minutes before I could even think about getting up. But I managed to get myself back into the house, the phone, and a chair. Called my husband at work and he finally got to the house about 2 hours later. Seems his boss would not let him leave until he was finished doing what he was doing. Even though she knew he had an emergency. Jeezzzz, for all she knew I could have still be laying on the garage floor. Anyway, we tossed around going to the doctor or the emergency room and finally decided we would just wrap it and try to go on with our camping plans. We made it to Moses Lake later that evening and I was hurting but not horribly. Next morning however was different. I was hurting pretty bad by that time. The next moring, Saturday, I was in horrible pain. On a scale from 1-10 it was a 10.So we decided to leave. We dropped off my parents and their RV, picked up our car and headed for the emergency room. They gave some percuset (sp?) and took some xrays. Turns out it is a severe sprain on both sides of my ankle. No break or fracture they could see. Doctor ordered me completely off of it for a week. They gave me an ace bandage, a boot, crutches, and a note for my boss. I'm sure he will be very pleased when he reads my email that I will be working from home all of next week. So, that's my sad, sad story. Enough rambling.
Did I miss anything the last 4 or 5 days?

She loves to skate though. The mom finally pulled her from school this year to home school her (after she had fallen asleep in class almost every day from getting up at 4am). Does it make you nervous to watch her skate/compete? Just watching it in the olympics makes me so nervous, I couldn't even imagine if it were my daughter...I think I would be looking through my fingers!
DD has a friend who is a skater....her mom was telling me they spend over 5000.00 per month in rink fees, lessons, costumes etc.
. I figure if I am still totally wacked at the May competition I am going to ask my Dr. for something to turn me into a normal mom. So yes, it makes me nervous, but I am so proud of her!!!!! Really, she has worked with professionals at the university because she was so shy as a 3-4 year old. She has come a long way!!!! And, she skates WAY better than me! I love watching her spin.
I had to give up on the butter, but you can't beat it! I like it thick!!!
Our friend's mother is over 101 and still lives on her own in a small old house with steep steps up to her bedroom and bathroom!! She still goes out shopping and walks to the church. Up to a few years ago she still did cross stitch.
We managed though and we laughed and saw beautiful country and they got to experience riding a train and eating in a dining car. I would do it again in a heartbeat.Oh, dear. I've been away for a few days and now I'm really, really behind. About 150 pages, I think. Did I miss anything good?
