I thought it was time for a change…so I redesigned my blog. Love to hear your thoughts?
Just Because
I Will Never Forget 8/08/08
A day that will be forever etched in my mind.
Scott was in a car accident yesterday on his way to work. We are so thankful he is alive and he definitely had some guardian angels looking after him. I keep telling him it was his mom and dad and God.
Yesterday morning on his way to work about 6:30am, he was driving up the hill and got to the top of the hill. He began feeling faint but thought he could make it to the stop sign to pull off the road. That is the last thing he remembers. When he came back to and alert, he had nose dived his car down an embankment and flipped the car. The car landed upside down on the driver’s side.
I had just woke up and came to my desk to work for the day. I heard someone knocking really hard on our front door, it was my mom. They had contacted her because that is the phone number they could find. I swooped up the girls and fled to the hospital. I walked in and we caught eyes and I immediately hugged and kissed him.
He had to stay in the hospital because his cardiac enzymes came back elevated, so it could have been a mild heart attack that made him black out and loose control of his car.
You can see the pictures I uploaded, and I don’t even think the pictures does any justice of just how bad the car is.
He is very lucky to be alive and no I’m not even going to say its luck, he had guardian angels looking after him. God has a purpose for him on this Earth and I’m so glad God kept him here and didn’t take him away from us. It has really made me do a lot of thinking the past couple of days. All the what-ifs keep running through my mind. What if God took him yesterday morning and not let him live? That is my husband, that is the daddy of my girls….I had been fussing at him the last couple of weeks because he had been coming straight in from work and just collapsing on the couch and sleeping. Here I thought it was laziness, and obviously it was his heart trying to give him a warning sign.
Both of his parents died young of massive heart attacks. I didn’t even get to meet them, so he does need to take pre-cautions. The cardiologist said this was your wake-up call Scott. It was also a wake-up call for me. I could be without him right now, I will never take another day granted with him. I will live each day to the fullest with him. I will not sweat the small stuff with him and argue over the stupid stuff. We will embrace life and enjoy our girls.
Thank you so much Lord for letting me have more time with him. Thank you for having your hands over him during the accident.
They are doing more testing on Monday morning at the Heart clinic so we can get answers of the damage that was done to his heart. I am very anxious and so worried but I know with God on our side that we are going to get through this. I have did my fair share of crying, because all the what ifs running through my mind. I am just so happy he is here with us today and for that I am going to REJOICE!
My Girls The Dog Lovers
The wonderful sisters over at 5 Minutes for Mom are having a adoption for three super cute dogs.
I just wanted to take a brief moment to let you know why my girls would love to adopt these fur babies. You see, my girls are huge dog lovers and have been since they were old enough to realize what doggys were. Ok… phew the tears are welling up in my eyes.
You see, a couple years ago we had to make a move from the country to the city. That meant we had to give up our wonderful Charlie who was a peek-a-poo. He went to a great home and family, but still that was my first baby and my girls lovey too. Both girls cried when they realized they wouldn’t see Charlie anymore. I’m secretly wishing he will show up one day, but I know that wish will probably not happen.
It has been so sad ever since, everywhere we go the girls run up to doggies and just have the best time with them. They love to hug them, pet them and just run with them. It just brings the biggest smile to their faces too, but you see we have not been allowed to have doggies since we moved to Florida in a rental house, and now we are in NC in a rental house just for short term till we can either build or buy. It breaks my husbands and my heart each and every day the girls ask for a doggie. They long for a doggie. They tell everyone they see, they just want a doggie to love and care for.
My sister in law in Florida has 3 doggies and everytime we go see them, its love at first site with the doggies and my girls. They don’t want to leave them. It warms us to see our girls being such big dog lovers, so just understand the pain when we cannot grant the girls wish right now to have our own doggy again in our family.
I would love for the girls to be able to adopt the doggys from 5 Minutes For Mom right now, so it can help them until next year we are able to fulfill the girl’s wish. I could just imagine their big smile now when they see 5 Minutes for Mom doggy at the door now.
Wordless Wednesday – New Little “Cousin”
Mostly Sane Ramblings from Mom
It’s Thursday and I am ready Ramble!!! Are you ready? Hope so here we go ;).
Walking up a 1.5 mile hill with the cold blowing in your face and then all of a sudden you realize pushing a 64 pound girlie in the stroller is taking its toll. You can do it, you start telling yourself then you feel that ole so lovely sciatic nerve sending its vibrant pulses down your leg that you spit out so fast… please Madisyn can you just walk up this hill for a little bit. Yes I can mommy… ahhh relief.
Until… uhhh mommy I kinda gotta use the bathroom and I cannot wait anymore. Hmmm well we are .5 mile out from the house, mommy get your brain a thinking what can you do? Oh yea we do have the cell phone, will it pick up on the mountain? Let’s try. I hear that oh music to my ears when hubbs says hello. Ummm hun Madisyn needs to use the bathroom really bad. Ok, I’ll be right down. Phew…………
Her ride comes from daddy and mommy keeps on the walk as we all know my weigh in wasn’t the best news this week. I get to the top of the hill/mountain and ahhhh my feet is craving a warm hot bath. Feels so nice.
This big walk got my mind thinking so much about the half of tank of gas it took to fill my tank yesterday. It wasn’t that long ago that 35.00 would fill the whole van up and now it takes that to fill up a half a tank? Me thinks there is going to be some drastic changes happening soon or this mom will go all ape-crap on someone. Do the billionaires of Exxon and BP not realize who they are messing with? I am a bargain momma you know, and you are throwing my monthly budget all out of whaack. Would you like to come and pay my budget for the rest of the year while you are out vacationing on some big yacht with all the billions of profits you are taking from moms and dads here slaving away to keep food on the table. Just food for thought literally billionaires!
:::rant over::: and this ready to ramble mom is going to get back to work to help pay that gas bill from yesterday 😉
