My week in a nutshell..........

And nutty it was!!  My week started off with a bang.  Wade's head banging on the ground that is.  Monday I'm on the dreadmill and Kohl comes up and says Wade needs me downstairs.  I'm instantly pissed cause I know that once I get off that thing I'll never want to get back on.   I haul my ass downstairs cussing as I go and ask what the hell he wants......  Then I feel somewhat bad because he's sitting in the chair with blood on his face cause he's had a horse fall down with him.  Ooops......  I can instantly tell that he's broken his nose.  No one else will be able to tell, but I can.  I ask him if he wants to go to the doctor cause he's also hurt his wrist and to me it looks broken.  Of course he doesn't want to go to the Dr..  Only wimps go to the doctor.  I head back up to the dreadmill cause I'm annoyed that he won't go to the Dr..  Thirty minutes later here he comes and says he thinks he should go to the clinic.  REALLY????  NO SHIT!!  I was not impressed that he waited till I was dripping sweat to decide he wanted to go.  Pretty sure I even asked if I had time for a shower.  :)  Totally not sympathetic at that point.

Long story short.  Cat scan showed a fractured wrist, fractured nose, and fractured eye socket.  In which none of these are getting fixed cause the nose you can't tell, the eye socket might have been an old injury but we'll wait and see if his vision starts to go, and the wrist could be an old injury cause it's not bothering him much anymore.    While I am thankful that he's not hurting I am still leary about the eye socket and the muscle and tissue that has seaped into his sinus cavity.  I guess time will tell if he will have to get that fixed.  I guess I'll know when he starts to resemble a cyclopse.

It only went downhill from there......
Thursday Kohl comes in the kitchen and tells me I HAVE to come look at something.  I figure it's another of his brilliant corral designs that he's come up with so I tell him to wait a minute.  Five minutes later he comes back and tells me that I REALLY need to look out the window at something.  This is what he was talking about:



Wade's feed sled was on fire across the meadow.  I quickly explained to Kohl that next time if he just yelled "FIRE" it would help me greatly.  :) 



We hauled ass over there and ended up having to call the fire department to come put it out.  We were really lucky that it didn't burn any pasture up because the wind was blowing so hard that day.  Wade was none too happy though.  Shane remined us that bad things happen in 3's so I'm silenty sitting back waiting for the final blow.  My mom was quick to point out that if we were going somewhere that I should NOT let Wade drive.

And to finish off the horrible joyous week, I had to put on a swimming suit yesterday.  NOT FUN!!!!  Well, we did have fun, it just wasn't fun to squeeze myself into a bathing suit.  Jamie and I took Knight, Payton and some friends to the rec center for swimming for their birthdays.  They had a great time and I realized in order to look good in one of those damn things I should step away from the fridge.  :)

It's MY Party!!!!

Actually, I'm too old for parties so now I have to settle for the following: Me telling my kids that it was my birthday this morning because Wade forgot.  And then reminding them that it's MY day and they should be extra good. Me making Kohl and my nephew tell me Happy Birthday every time they needed something today.  And singing too.  :) My mom calling me at lunch when Wade was in here which jarred his memory real quick like.  I will continue the day with making my kids wait on me all evening.  Ahhhhhh....I love MY DAY. I also treated myself to some new trail running shoes.  It's the right thing to do.

Operation "No More Diet Coke"......

Or at least a limited number of diet coke's.  My MIL Terri got me a new Soda Stream pop making machine for Christmas.  AWESOME!!  Naturally flavored, gluten free goodness!!  No really, most of the flavors taste really good.  So, from now on, when I'm home it's all sodastream.  And, since most of the time I'm home, the diet coke addiction will hopefully go away!  Or change from killing cussing someone for drinking my last diet coke, to dealing with it in a calm manner.  :)   I'm not saying that I'll NEVER have another.  Just want to learn to enjoy in moderation.  I also read that sometimes drinking diet soda will lead to weight gain.  Crazy, huh???  Maybe that would explain the extra 10 pounds that has made it's way to my ass in the last few years.  Or......again, it could be that I think I should just eat candy for meals.  Either way, I'm cuttin back on the soda with the help of this wonderful little machi...

Pony Express????!!!!!..............

I realize that I live in the middle of BFE!!  It becomes a problem when we are out of milk for the bucket calf Kohl.  Also a problem when you're out of tp and it's Saturday at 3 and the store closed an hour before and won't be open again till Monday.  It's the shits.  Literally.  Which is when you head down to the bunkhouse in hopes that the guys have some laying around.  :)  It also becomes a problem annoyance when the Fed Ex people call you every time you are supposed to have a package delivered and go on and on about how busy they are and they just aren't going to make it out to your house today.  Oh, and could they just drop that off in town for you.  Well, if we ever went that direction you could, but we happen to go the other direction to "town".  This is what I'm waiting on..... I gave into temptation and ordered an iPhone.  Super excited!!  Well, I was until THEY informed me I wouldn't be getting it today cause ...
