Hello to All,
The title is another quote from Quinn tonight after admiring a beautiful sunset. He comes up with the best stuff! (Too bad you guys don't live by the sunset).
Well, here's an update about the 70 yr old woman hit by the bike. She survived and was flown to Fort Wayne, to a trauma center. She had bleeding in her brain, multiple facial fractures, bilateral punctured lungs, multiple rib fractures, fractured femur, fibula, clavicle and scapula and of course multiple cuts and bruises. I told you it was BAD!!! I've been praying for her and her family and also the lady that hit her (who wasn't at fault but nonetheless was hysterical and I'm sure is hurting emotionally). I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with her from here on out or not... to know what will eventually happen to her. My "obsessive" thoughts over the accident are starting to get better. I've prayed to be able to forget the details.
Today was Monday... we had such a busy weekend that I felt like I needed to go back to work just to rest! Whew! I yawned my way through the day. I probably made the transcriptionist yawn a few times while dictating! : )
Madison had Flames practice tonight. If I were her I think I would be complaining about going by now... but nope, not a word... ready to get out the door and when she got home she said that it was fun. We traded "services" tonight. Don picked Madison up after he drove his bus route and took her to practice and left his truck here (he took our van). Tony worked on changing something-to-do-with-the-brakes on the truck. Don brought Madison home and he and Tony are still out there working.
Quinn was actually grounded tonight... the 2nd time in his little life. It's kind of a long story but basically he broke a rule of coming inside when he was called... after he had just been warned... and we had to go looking for him twice yesterday afternoon. So, after he got over the "devastation" yesterday from anticipating his consequence to occur after school today, he made the best of it. He couldn't play with any friends (and the garage door stayed up) and no TV or computer. He decided to clean out the toy boxes... which are 99% his stuff. He got a huge bag ready to take to The Depot and even brought down the scale to weigh it... 17# of little toys!!!! He felt very proud of himself to get himself organized and felt very good about giving them away to other kids who "for sure don't have as many toys as I have."
I guess that's all for tonight. Madison has a CYS game tomorrow night. It's supposed to get cold so Fall soccer, by definition, has finally begun!
Love to All,
Leah
