What Goes up Must Come Down

A few weeks ago the kids and I were over at our friend Jenn's house we had an amazing day and made a new friend. We had so much fun together, later that evening we had a BBQ and then we heard a scream from the swing set. When I arrived at the swing set our friend Craig was the first one kneeling next to Mason and was calming him down. Not sure what he said or how but, some how my son who is typically a major screamer calmed down by the time I got there? Mason managed to some how accidently do a back flip out of the swings and of course put his arms out straight to catch himself. Several hours later and many Ice packs the X-ray's were in and Mason managed to break both arms!!! Remember he is my child so if you are going to injury yourself you are going to do it big time. GO BIG OR GO HOME is our family motto apparently. For the first 4 days he had to be in little slings and was in splints up to his arm pits and his arms were in the "L" shape. I'm sure I do not need to spell it all out but, the boy could do nothing for himself. I guess that is what I get for feeling baby hungry? Instead I had a 7 year old who needed everything done for him. After the 4th day we met with the surgeon and lucky for us no surgery and he got smaller cast and would now be able to do certain things for himself. HALLALUJIA!!!! Mason kept saying he "felt like a free man" he chose green cast so when he was able to go back to school they started to call him the "Hulk" he thinks he is pretty cool now. I'm very proud of him he has been very strong and such a little trooper through all of it.

M & M's

What a busy, sad, scary, crazy week all wrapped up into one. Last friday afternoon began with a horrible fear of possibly losing my all time Best Friend she had Brain Surgery a week prior and then landed back in the hospital with a leak and an infection causing the Dr. to have to do a 2nd Brain Surgery. She scared us all and I shed several tears and we were all on pins and needles until that surgery was over. I have to say She is my HERO she has had to endure more pain and more crazy medical heartache than any one person should ever have to endure. I am so blessed that the Lord let our paths cross because she is the only person who truly understands the full extent of my crazy life probably because everyone else say's "No way can one person have all of that." She is my one friend who seems to have the same "Murphy's Law" problem that I do. Before I had time to even finish this post I found out that she has now had to have a 3rd Brain Surgery in less than 2 weeks due to complications. My Mother has given us our own support group name we are now called the "Medical Misfits." We will serve M & M's at our meetings perferrably the ones with nuts since apparently we are nuts? I love you Lou and am praying for you!!!!

New to this world

Okay so I'm totally new to this whole Blogging Crap. Swore I would not do it because the good old Ex hubby and his Tramp got caught by having blogs that I was able to find and read and get all kinds of great juicy details from. But, I have succumb to peer pressure apparently, funny how we thought peer pressure would be over after high school? Anyways I guess I will try this thing out but, make sure to keep it kept on private so that Mr. Dirtbag can not find it. Okay so yes I guess I'm a tad bitter still and working through all of that. So hopefully this will be a pathway to help me work through those thoughts and feelings? Who knows anything is worth a shot.
