'Shiner' Saturday

I was so excited on Saturday morning.  Daddy came home from his business trip and brought back some cool t-shirts for my sisters and I.  Don't I look super cute?


Then later on I needed to change out of my cool outfit and put on a dress (for Church).  When I came back with these shoes my Daddy sent me upstairs to change them.  He thought they were too small and yucky looking for Church.  So like the good girl that I am, I went upstairs to do as I was told.  I ALWAYS LISTEN.


Unfortunately I had some troubles.  I guess my shoes were too small and I tripped down these big stairs ...
My fall was big and there was lots and lots of blood.  My big sister's friend has a dad who is a doctor in the emergency room.  He only just left our house ... so my sister's friend called him back.  He cleaned me up and put some fancy glue on my face to close up the big tear in my cheek. 


 Today I am all better though.  Mommy and Daddy are being super, SUPER nice to me ;)

Lucky for avoiding the emergency room though.
Hope she feels better.

Oh definitely glad not to spend time in the real emergency room. Sometimes it is nice to know people in the right careers ;)

We actually cleaned her up and let her pick her place of dinner. The doctor's girls came with us to dinner and when we dropped them off my husband brought a bottle of wine. No hospital co-payment, no wait in the ER ... hard to put a price on that gift ;)

Oh the poor baby - I am feeling squeemish just looking at all the puffiness. I'm sure that hurt so bad. What a trooper! And thank God your daughter's friend's Dad was close - what a Godsend he was. Bless her little heart.

Must be the month for shiners - my John just got over a HUGE one last week - he and Molly collided - and Molly's head did more damage to John's cheekbone than his cheekbone did to her head. Now I wish I had a picture.

Owwwww! I'm sorry. I didn't see that coming...from cute t-shirt to not-so-cute black eye.
Poor girl.
Ow I say again.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
