Karma

I practically had a heart attack tonight as I was driving and heard a noise that immediately put my heart in my stomach, or was it my throat? Anyway, I don't remember what I heard first....the car door opening or Eden saying "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

I turned around to see Eden holding onto the car door that was simultaneously swinging open as we turned through a busy busy intersection.

All I could see in my mind was the door swinging too far open and pulling her right out of her toddler booster chair, and plopping her right there on the street in the middle of the busy intersection. In those nano-seconds that seemed like an eternity, I prayed and hoped her seat-belt would hold her in tight enough till we finished turning the corner.

Thankfully angels seemed to hold her in, while Jonathon reached back to close the door. We turned down the next road to turn on the child safety lock.

Now I know how my Mom felt when about 24 years ago, I was the same age as Eden and did NOT want to go to church. I opened the car door as we rounded a corner. However, I didn't fare so well. I plopped right out of the car and landed in a ditch, tearing a hole in my church tights and skinning up my knees. My parents just scooped me up, put me back in the car, and I went to church just like that...skinned knees and all.

Ok Karma. I have been served. Please don't scare me like that again.

Thanks a bunch.

Day 4

A Habbit I wish I didn't have...

Geees.... let me think. Over eating? if only I didn't eat so much I wouldn't have to work out all the time to try to counter-act.

Snapping or clapping at my child nearly every time they are being naughty...it makes me feel kinda crazy.

Procrastinating. I put off too many things and wish I was more organized about daily life.

Now that's what you call...

Relaxed!

He must have REALLY enjoyed his time in nursery today.

Day 3

Picture of me and friends

Can I just say that I have the best friends in the world? I hope each of you have been blessed with the kind of friends I have had in my life. I cannot express with words how truly blessed I have been to have each and everyone of you reading this blog or not, pictured or not, in my life. I've had friends to laugh with, cry with. Friends who have baked for me, baby-sat for me, partied and sulked with me, cleaned endless times for me. If friends are the flowers in the garden of life, I have the most beautiul, colorful, talented, helpful, loving garden around.

And of course I waited tooooo long to post this. And now I am on the mainland, using my Mom's computer. My own computer doesn't have very many photos of me with friends because we are usually too busy taking pics of our kids or just having a good time. But of course my Mom's computer has nearly zero.

However after looking on Facebook, Walgreens.com and mom's computer...I did find a few gems.







For instance....getting ready with my bestie from way back in the 2nd grade. She came to visit me while I was on the mainland visiting my family. I love her and I can't wait to meet that little bun that was once in her cute little oven.
This photo is like where's Waldo...

But, I am posting this anyway...cause I need to move on and finish this 30 day thing so it's quit haunting me.

Dear friends....Love you!

Love,
Matti
