Well, as some of you may know, Mayes fell not once, but twice last week. He first fell out of my van on Thursday. Well, that one wasn't that bad. The goose egg was pretty much gone by Friday morning. As luck would have it, we had to make a quick trip to Wal-Mart and he tripped over his own feet landing face first onto the floor. His forehead immediately got huge. When I say huge, I called the doctor in the parking lot huge! They did an xray that day which showed no fractures and sent us on our way. Well Saturday morning, he was even more swollen, so to the afterhours clinic we went. Dr. D was so nice. She was a "BIT" concerned. She sent him for a CT, which I should tell you-on a 2 year old- is not fun:( Thank goodness Michael was there. The CT scan was normal...Thank GOD! He really looks awful! That is not an understatement. I did not take him to church on Sunday for selfish reasons. I did not want to have to tell everyone the same story over and over........So he and I went to Sam's. I have never in my entire life felt so angry, helpless, protective at the looks and whispers we received. I got so angry at the end of my shopping trip that one poor lady received the brunt of my emotions. I feel somewhat bad for my behavior toward her, now. I am very hesistant to post a picture because I want to protect him and don't want anyone to talk about him. That is just my nature, hope that is not stupid.........

The kids and I had the opportunity to tag along with Michael last week to Smyrna, TN. He had a business trip and we took advantage of it!!! We left at 7 AM and the trip should have taken 6 hours, but took 9 hours due to road conditions. NOTE: Never, never travel in icy conditions unless it is an emergency! The kids did great! The whole trip was lots of fun! We got to see and do lots of stuff! The kids favorite thing, I think, was the indoor pool. Sorry NO pictures of the pool.
This sweet picture was caught on the way up there.
These were the icy roads that we got to travel on over half of the way! Traffic would only be moving in one lane in some spots because the other lane had about 3 inches of ice on it!

This week I have been down.....no reason. It seems like life is passing me by and that my babies are growing too fast! I have found my patience level is at an all time low or maybe that my oldest baby is just testing the waters to see how far she can push me before my head explodes. I have been reading blogs that have babies that are sick, infertility struggles, etc. and I know that I have been taking my life for granted. It has humbled me to sneak a peak into some fellow bloggers lives and see their struggles. Their struggles make mine look ridiculous. It is so easy, or for me anyway, to get caught up in the whirlwind of everyday life and forget the little things. Little things like our health, that we have a roof over our head, and food in the cabinets. I am going to try to work on this and be content and grateful for all of my blessings. Sorry for rambling.....until next time.
