Falling is not fun

Monday morning I fell I do not recommend falling on ice to anyone. It hurts. Our driveway is great on the winter because it dries pretty quickly when we have snow. We have a bit of an incline and the sun shines on it at just the right angle. So that is a benefit.

However, Monday morning there was one very small patch of ice and I happened upon it. Down I went. I landed on my back and hit my head. I just laid there for a few minutes then sat there for a bit before getting up. It hurt so bad that I cried for over an hour. Not a good way to start the day or the week. All day Monday and Tuesday I hurt so much. Thankfully it is now Wednesday night and it no longer hurts to breathe. My neck and upper back is still site but I'm moving around and can turn my neck again mostly.

Bottom line, be careful out there. Falling on ice is no laughing matter. I am very lucky that it wasn't worse and nothing is broken. Take care everybody

I have a teenager

I can't believe Peter is 13. Thirteen years ago we welcomed this beautiful baby into the world. He was 10 days late and weighed in at 9 pounds 5 ounces. The delivery nurse said he had the biggest little feet. Such a beautiful baby and suddenly I was a mom!

Peter is a wonderful young man. I'm so proud of him and all that he has accomplished. I absolutely love to hear him play drums. He can get quite loud and he plays hard but it is truly music!!!

I love you Peter!!!!! Happy 13th birthday!!!
