Time Flies

Lately I have really been noticing how fast the time goes. My grandchildren are all getting older. My family what's left of them are all getting older, I am getting older. Have I done everything I wanted to do? Will I have regrets?

I am very lucky to have so many kids and grand kids. They make me happy in a way I can't describe. Scott is a wonderful husband. I know every day life gets in the way and I don't always tell him how lucky I am to have him but I try and I hope he knows.

I have colored my hair since I was 17 and I decided to stop doing that about a month ago. Ugh it's hard, all of my hair is gray so now I have these awful roots. Possibly worse than dark roots if that is possible.

We are having the grand kids take turns staying with us this year. We had a 9 year old girl last week, this week an 8 year old boy. I love having them I get to know them in a different way. It makes me wish I didn't have to work so I could spend more time with them.

The Princess had surgery to put tubes in her ears last week. It went well, she won't stop talking now.

We are all going to the water park this Saturday I am really excited about that. This will be the first time for the Princess. Last time Korbin did a suicide jump into the deep water hopefully no one attempts that this trip. Casey had to save him. He said Sasey saved my life.

Casey is gong to do a rent to own on my rent house. I bought that house when she was 12 now it will be hers, my Mom's house is now mine. I like that we keep those connections to the past.

I have been going through the garage some more, tons of work but very satisfying. We are almost done with the main part I think just 2 more working days. Then we start on the back 3 storage areas. I got a quote to have the new garage built. The hard part will be tearing down the old one. Hard physically and emotionally. I am going to save the wood though I want to make some furniture. It is probably about 80 years old, maybe?

Update

The trip out to New Mexico was very nice, we got to Ruidoso on Saturday night and Sunday we went exploring riding up in the mountains and looking around town. We decided to take a trip to Cloudcroft and Alamogordo on Monday.

We went to breakfast and had a wonderful meal went sight seeing a little bit there in Ruidoso and then headed out for Cloudcroft. Only a few miles out of town an 18 wheeler that was going to turn stopped in the road instead because a pickup was coming up on the shoulder of the road beside him.

Scott tried to stop we started sliding towards the back of the truck and swerved before hitting it. The back of the back laid over and we were sliding down and across the highway.

Scott's left leg came off his peg and and slammed my leg between him and the bike, that popped the bike back upright and Scott was able to get control and get us stopped on the side of the road.

It felt like my leg was broken. It was so painful, took a trip to the Emergency Room and had X-Rays done they said it wasn't broken gave me crutches and pain pills. The rest of the trip I spent in pain, hopped up on pain pills and terrified to ride the bike, which by the way I had no choice in since that is how we got to New Mexico.

The trip home was the worst I was scared to death and in a tremendous amount of pain.

I have not been back on the back since we got home. I don't know that I will ever get back on, I am just so afraid.

It has been 3 weeks and my leg is still bruised and I still have quite a bit of pain. I went for a follow up with my doctor and he did X-Rays it is not broken but he said I have a deep bone bruise and it will take up to 6 weeks for it to feel back to normal.
