Doctor says bone will never be aligned again! Could do surgery but Doc says will create more problems than will solve. Cartledge will join the two bones (slightly stacked) and he will have a knot.

Mother's Day Weekend
Well I guess you can say this Mother's day is one I will NEVER forget!
As some of you know (and the rest are fixing to find out!) Randy has taken up an extreme sport. Offroad Biking - if you have ever seen a BMX race - it is kind of like that with a more narrow path, trees in the way out in the open be prepared for anything type ride. (It is not for ME!!!!) Randy rides with Eric & RC almost every saturday morning.
This past saturday Brittney and I attended a Prayer Breakfast for Mother & Daughters while the boys were riding. We had been there less than an hour when my phone rang - it was Randy's cell phone. (knowing where we were - I knew it wasn't good if Randy was calling) So I answered with "WHAT" he said "I broke my collar bone" I said okay we are on our way. Britt & I told the ladies at our table and got up to leave (by the time we were gathering up the boys from the nursery it dawned on me I hadn't asked where he was and where I was to meet him). I called got details and we met him at St. Joseph's Emergency room. I have to say as far as emergency room visits go it was the best experience we have ever had. They gave him a pain shot and he reacted to it, so they gave him a shot to counter the reaction, took x-rays and secured his arm down to prevent any movement of shoulder area, a couple of prescriptions and sent us on our way with instructions to see a Orthapedic this week. He cannot drive - ride a bike - operate any heavy machinery until he is released from the Ortho, he is also in pain (more so than I have ever known him to be in and that includes his back & foot surgeries.) So please pray for us!!
I'll post some pictures when I get home tonight. In one I will try to highlight where you can see the bone misaligned.

Another week
Another week has gone by and things have settled down somewhat. I'm kind of bummed this week for a number of reasons but I at least no longer feel like I'm going to spin right off the earth so that is good! I think the number one reason I'm down is I haven't had a Grandbaby fix in a week - we haven't had time with the boys all week - doesn't that make you sad for me?
I helped Julie with a wedding last week which was pretty fun - I love doing that! So I only had during supper with her boys and Britt & RC swung by for less than an hour Saturday before I left which isn't much time. I was sick on Sunday and didn't get to go to church so they didn't come to "Yous house" to play. AC did fall yesterday and called to tell me it hurt real bad and I was able to comfort him over the phone - it was kind of sad!
Well Randy went on a job interview (not that he's looking but a friend had a friend that was interested in talking to him.) It started at 5:45 and ended at 9:45, which is the longest I have ever heard of an interview going. We have prayed about it and God's will is our goal. He would like the job - but miss the travel from his old job, but we are looking for God's will.
It is now 8 days until we go camping - I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! Britt, RC, AC, Trace, Julie, Eric, Seth, Ethan, Randy, and I have never done something like this before but I think it will be fun! I'm hoping for the relaxing part also.
Not much more to say - but I love each of you and pray God will bless you in all you do!

Hell Week
Isn't that the name of the week college students are pledging to sorority or fraternity. If so - HELLO I am NOT a college student nor am I interested in joining a sorority or fraternity - so what is up with the WEEK?
Let's start with my boss is on vacation - which in itself is usually a good thing, but this week our corporate office has decided that it is the week (first one I might add all year) that they need EVERYTHING from Tampa. Believe me I work for a micro-manager I do not know everything about our office, but Corp. had me on the phone (conference nationwide) asking answers about questions that they asked Dave a month ago - but it is the first time I have heard these questions and they do not like "ummm I really don't know - I can call Dave on Vacation and ask" as an answer. So about the third time I answered that, Chris Dave's bosses boss said "Twila - what do you know. " I was so angry - thinking I really need a new job!
Today I get in and have a ton of things to do and one of my technicians are in the office looking for some material (that I know is in) and he cannot find it so after almost 2 hours of searching for it to no advail. He leaves mad to call back almost 30 minutes later to tell me he has it in his truck all along - believe me I would be in JAIL right now if he was in the office and DAN would be NO MORE!!!!! (Actually it was only 1 out of the 10 things he was looking for but still I wanted to scream!)
Seth had his birthday party last night - he's 3 now (well will be on Saturday 4/30) he had a Bob the Builder birthday party - my friend is so creative she made the "dirt" dessert in the back of a dump truck - Seth et all thought it was GREAT!!!!!!!! Only draw back is Seth didn't feel so good - sinus infection is what the doctor is treating him for - after being sick (YAKKING) he was running around like a banshee so the party went on.
Randy is home and so my world is beginning to spin right again! We did a wedding this weekend - Donna & Andrew's (Donna is the girl that coordinated Brittney's wedding for Julie & I) Randy & Brittney stepped right in and helped me and everything went off GREAT (well everything I was to have control over - Coordinators do not "run" the decorating of a car - please note this disclaimer!). I so enjoy doing the coordinator job.......hmmmm maybe this could be an answer to my wanting a new job.

Crazy Thoughts
I haven't posted in awhile because I'm not sure what to say. So I've decided just to write some random thoughts that have been running around in my head.
1. What is wrong with this world. Why can't our children be safe? 2 young girls in the last month or so have been taken from their house (where a child should be safe!) and molested and murdered. This morning the news is talking about another girl that they do not believe is in danger but hasn't been seen by her mother for over a week. HELLO why are we just now hearing about this - can we not look for 2 girls at the same time? All I know is I'm afraid for my grandchildren and all the little ones growing up - Parents know who your inviting into your house - Children have lots of friends but they only have you as a parent - don't try to be their friends be THEIR PARENT even if they are angry with you it's your job to try to keep them SAFE!
2. Randy is traveling again and I always feel out of control when he's gone, not that I control him but that my world is NOT RIGHT when he's not home. It's like I'm not complete - hey does that mean he complete's me? Actually that would be a yes - "And the Two become One" kind of thing. Anyway he's only been gone for 18 hours and I already am more than ready for him to come home! Hurry home to me BABY.
3. Time - why do we spend so much time doing what we don't want to do and so little time enjoying life. I know part of it is we have to work to have money for living and fun doesn't come cheap. I say this because since the camping trip very little of my time has been spent just appreciating life and the miracles God does. What my time does go to is Work, cleaning, laundry, and stuff not important stuff just stuff. What I would like to spend my time on is Studying God's word, spending time getting to know my children - not just what's happening but what they think about stuff (Blogging has helped in that area but it still could be better). I find myself when on the phone with Nyki thinking quit telling me about Dixie & your in-laws tell me more about you and Jeremy and Rylee - not that I don't want to hear about the others at all just sometimes when we hang up I know more about what others have been doing than I do about Nyki, but you know THEY are who is weighing on her heart and I love her and want to hear about her and her concerns so I should be hearing about the others. Does that make sense? I catch myself on the precious time I have with Brittney staring at the TV not talking to her or visiting with her we talk more while we are online playing games than we do sitting in the same room. I just need to quit. I've been heard to say recently - "Don't tell me something is wrong if I can't fix it because it drives me crazy!" I've changed my mind tell me - I can pray and my inability to leave it with God is not your fault but mine - I just want to know what is on your heart so tell me anything and everything you want!
Okay see why I haven't written I have nothing to say yet everything to say - see why my sleep habits have gone down hill my mind goes like the above ALL THE TIME and doesn't seem to want to stop and let me sleep.
