Twilight Zone...

Yesterday was the TWILIGHT ZONE day....

These stories are real, the people in them are real, the faces are real. 
You are now ENTERING THE TWILIGHT ZONE....
If it could happen...it happen...and I don't mean in a good way!!! 

So it started out as a typical ordinary day.  I woke up, got the boys up, got dress to go train for the vertical marathon that I'm training for in November...yes, I am really crazy and have lost my mind!!...and headed out the door!!

At the gym, Teresa and I start our stair climb.  You see that's what a vertical marathon is.  53 flights of stairs, 1,272 steps...and we are doing this for the American Lung Association...yes we are CRAZY!  BUT we have made it to 74 flights of stairs...1,5000 steps...oh yeah baby!!!  WE ROCK...and we both have BAD knees...she has had hers re-done and I've broken mine...so if we can do it anyone can...so enough on that...well maybe not...but for now! 

So we are at the gym and while we are working out we are talking about all the problems we are having with PTSA...it always seems like we have things happen on Tuesdays and it drives us crazy.  Teresa informs me that we got a bunch of bounced checks back from our fundraiser...ugh...teachers are wanting things about our up coming carnival...ugh...our t-shirt guy completely changed the design we wanted for our carnival t's...ugh...just everything was going wrong...but we were taking time for ourselves and working out!

So we finished early on Tuesday so we could go and order our bountiful basket...cuz the run out fast in Goodyear...then I go and shower.  After I shower I was heading over to a friends to discuss wedding stuff, was running a few minutes late and when I got there she wasn't home...ugh...my bad...but while I was there, I get a call from Naomi at the school...Josh got hurt, again, in PE (it's always PE), and they wanted to let me know, cuz it looked kind of bad.  He jammed his finger.  So I told them I wasn't in the area, so could the tape it, ice it, give him drugs and see if he would be ok.  And there you have it.  Off he went to class.  Well I headed over to the school and the called him up front and while I was looking at his finger it doubled in size...it was kind of cool...I called my resident DR...aka...Teresa (flight medic) and she said if it swelling still I should take him in, better safe then sorry.  So off we went to Urgent Care. 

After x-rays...he broke it...not jammed it like I thought, right above the growth plate, in the joint at what they call at 30% brake, which means...we need to see a specialist...so  much fun! 

Then, Cayla shows up that night to pick Seth up from Cub scouts and drop Josh off at scouts cuz I have meetings and she has a heating pad on her neck and informs me that she hurt herself at work while playing...ready for it..."Duck, Duck, Goose"...she got "Goosed"...she works at a place called the "Little Gym" and when you get "Goosed" you do a roll out and when she did her neck locked up and she couldn't move it and she said it was the worst pain she ever felt...she wanted to scream and cry at the same time, but she was being evaluated and could stop or do anything.  It was pretty bad.

But to add to the whole twilight zone night.  My friend Teresa...She was at football practice for her soon Austin with all her kids when her daughter Syd'a fell riding her scooter...no biggy until later when she tried lifting her scooter up and she couldn't...Teresa and Ryan (dad) looked at her wrist, cuz she was crying at this point and realized that she might have broken it!  At that exact same time another parent came up to then and said hey your son Austin just got hurt, he jammed his finger.  They ignored the finger, thinking it was no big deal.  So they took Syd'a to the Drs and yep...its broken and they have to see a specialist...then they got looking at Austin and decided to take him in and guess what!!  Thats right...its the exact same break as Josh...so yep...they have to go see as specialist. 

Well, that leaves two of our kids...Seth and Brenna that didn't get hurt yesterday!  We really feel the need to rap them in bubble packing tape and lock them in a padded room so they wont get hurt.  

Poor Josh, today at school, hit his finger and head and felt it pop...went to the nurse and got more drugs and ice...then tonight...oh boy did he done do it good...I'm thinking they might have to take more x-rays...his whole hand is big now...and he can't even move the tip of his finger now...Seth hit his hand and it took him down!  Oh boy was it bad!!  Josh screamed and Seth felt bad, everyone was crying...Josh is hand is now purple!  Tomorrow at the specialist should be interesting.....

Then I went to church yesterday and...thats a whole nother story that I really can't share...BUT I will say...it's a good thing...THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!   

And you have now LEFT...THE TWILIGHT ZONE!!!

Funny thing...

DJ comes in this morning and tells me that while he was working the ASU game last night, as a cop mind you, something funny happened...And let me tell you while he was telling me...I did laugh!! 

So he's standing in the street, directing traffic, watching people leave the game...and he notices that some girls are going the opposite way of traffic, back towards the stadium...NO BIGGY he thinks, their not doing anything wrong.

A few minutes later...he has a college student kind of leaning against him...and she looks up at him and asks..."Are you married?"  Of course he answers right away "AH YES!!!"  She says, "thats too bad cuz your really cute!"

Insert me laughing so hard..."laugh*laugh*laugh*laugh"...wait one more laugh..."laugh!!" 

DJ says he looked a little shocked that a college student was hitting on him...and then she walked away! 

After my initial laugh...I said at least my hubby still has it!  Really after all these years, college girls are still looking at him...or was she dared...lets just believe that my hubby still has it!!! 

Have you ever noticed...

...Or maybe you haven't and it's just me (more then likely thats it)...
but have you ever noticed that when your unhappy with yourself...your unhappy with the world! 
 Well, I have cuz thats the state I've been in for a while!!!  Somehow I need to work on my own happiness so that I can find joy around me! 
 Easier said then done!!! 

I really hate being in this funk and I'm sure I'll get out of it...just need to find a better way to deal with my stress then the way I've been dealing!  Cuz the way I'm dealing with it, is why I'm unhappy right now with myself! 

I'm sure everyone gets this way at some point...But then again maybe not...but this is my time (again)...just gotta work my way out of it somehow and work on my self esteem...cuz right now, it's petty much gone!

Thanks for letting me have myself pity party...needed to get it out and now I'm good!!

Remember when...

...the Prophet said to plant a garden...and remember that is what we did...
Well, here are picks of a garden...I was so excited to get all the food...and we still are...Summer is over and its still going...I LOVE IT!!!  Can't wait til its time to plant again! 


We had cucumbers growing out of our ears....

The pumpkins were growing in the yard...it was pretty cool!

Isn't that the cutest little pumpkin you ever did see! 


We had every color of pepper you could think of growing...this is only two types...it was a rainbow of colors!


We're all together...

Its been a few years since the whole family was together....
Theres been times that everyone was up at Kims...except us...
or Kim was down here in Phoenix...but no Dan!  Or visa versa...
So even though it was a sad thing that brought us all together...
It brought us all together! 
Dad, Mom, Kim, Me, and Dan! 
Wish I could see them more...all of them! 


The new addition to the family...

...NO, I'm not pregnant!!!  Are you crazy!!!  How could you even think that. 

Well for those of you that know we have a dog, a black lab...his name is Mickey and well, he's getting pretty old...almost 18 years old.  He's still alive and kicking but we do worry about him....
Soooo we decided to get a second dog...We've always had a lot of dogs until a few years ago, so Mickeys been kind of lonely...now he has a play mate...
Her name is Mia...you see we name all our animals from Disney characters and Mia is from Princess Diaries....
She is a little cutie...but I don't think she will ever learn ANYTHING...She drives me batty...oh wait, I'm already batty!

Don't let her cuteness fool you...shes CRAZY and WILD!!
