Vain?
But with this sad event that has happened, some really awesome things have happened.
*My bestest friend, Shauna, calmed me and soothed me through every step of this calamity.
*I am one tough woman to keep running/walking/crying/bleeding down the rest of that trail to get myself back home.
*My Mommy Rocks! She just loves me and gives me sympathy.
*My family made me look at the funny side of all of this when I looked the worst (the 2nd day, pic #2)
*I actually didn't say really naughty words when Dr. Beus put hideous objects up my nose to fix it and put it back where it belonged.
*Baylie has listened to me complain, complain, complain and COMPLAIN and she just keeps telling me "It really isn't that bad Mom".
*Heavenly Father listens to me even when I can't fully kneel down because my left knee isn't working.
*Friends! Oh my friends! They are so amazing. They have given me herbal remedies, food, frozen peas, frozen cranberries, ice, nice cool rags, sympathy, sympathy, sympathy and more sympathy. I am truly, truly blessed for people who love me.
*This silly looking splint...it really makes me look wicked tough!

My Beautiful Mom
I've known you since my day of birth,(perhaps a few months more).
There's lots of nice things I could tell,(but I refuse to bore).
You're smart. You're great. You're all the best.(There's much more I could say.)
But I can only think of one. . . It's Happy Mother's Day!
Look at how beautiful my Mom is. She refuses to put a current picture up so I wanted to show you why my Dad fell in love with her. (Pretty HOT huh?)
I myself am not a big fan of Mother's Day because I don't feel like I should have all of the accolades given to me because of all the mistakes I have made with my own kids. But I am grateful for this day because I get to tell the most amazing Mom how much I adore her.
She is the most positive, knowledge seeking person who continues to always strive to keep close to the Lord. She constantly has shown all eight of her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, that she is a true Daughter of God. She has always shown by positive example how much she loves her Heavenly Father and wants to walk in his path of righteous.
I am so happy for this day to tell my mom that she is my hero and I admire her for everything she has done and continues to do. In my eyes she is Mother of The Year every year.

A Long Shot?

Some People Run in the Rain, Others Just Get Wet...
I don't care how you say it...cloudburst, precipitation, condensation, deluge, drencher, drizzle, fall, flood, flurry, heavy dew, liquid sunshine (that's a stretch), sheets, sleet, spate, spit, sprinkle, stream, sun shower, torrent, wet stuff, window washer, it's raining cats and dogs, la lluvia (Spanish) or it's a little damp...it rained the WHOLE 18 miles we ran. It never let up, we couldn't stop laughing and it was a dang good time. Good Times.
I know I posted something very similar to this last weekend, but seriously folks, you can't make this stuff up.
5 Grateful Things:
*Shauna and Khirstin
*Being tough
*Chinese food
*The Stock Show is over
*A hot shower after a really, really wet 18 miles
Cowgirl Up!

Spring Fever
Spring is not the best of seasons.
Cold and flu are two good reasons;
wind and rain and other sorrow,
warm today and cold tomorrow.
I'm truly wondering if Spring is coming? It comes and teases us and brings us hope...but then today I looked out the window and literally saw a blizzard...
5 Grateful Things:
*Seeing Rickey today
*The hymn "I Stand All Amazed"
*My Mommy
*Baylie and her love for dance
*Sleeping in with the raining falling down outside
