Oh What a Day!!

I usually love Mondays during this time of year because we always go watch the JV boys play football!! And now since J has been sent in to assist with the JV games I get to watch him 2 nights a week! The start of the game was good, J got a tackle and when he brought the kid down the kid landed on his chest pretty hard and when he got up I could tell he was in a bit of pain but it's football so that'll happen... So a few plays later J was receiving the ball but it had been thrown a bit to high so he jumped pretty far off the ground and BAM 2 guys tackle him mid air and he comes down hard! He kind of layed there for a minute then proceeded to play one more play before heading off the field. I could tell that he was hurt because he wasn't making himself available to play... So they lost the game, it was pretty much bull crap to watch we were not impressed with the Ref's who ignored numerous personal fouls..But oh well it is what it is..

So J went back to the high school and hung out in the parking lot for a bit. Something all of the boys like to do. Well he had a friend pull up beside him and he didn't realize she had parked so close to him and she was parked at an angle. And he had another friend pull up in front of him so he backed out when he was leaving and turned to sharply....Oh and did I mention that we just put a Ranch Hand bumper on his truck, you know for extra safety...Well that Ranch Hand bumper met almost the entire length of his friends car.. So when he got home I knew something was up with him and he sat down and explained what happened. Well the door was so bent that his friend couldn't drive the car, so J and I went back to the high school so that I could assess the damage.. Yeah not good...

Damage to her car :( can't quite see it all because it's dark...



In the mean time J keeps grabbing his chest. He had some problems after a tackle a couple of weeks ago and the Dr had said she thought he had strained the muscle there. So I asked him did he get hurt during those tackles he said yes when he tackled the first kid and the kid landed on him it started hurting and then when he was tackled mid air and hit the ground it got worse and he was having a hard time breathing. So I said forget the car I'm taking you to the ER to get a chest Xray.

So we arrive at the hospital at about 11:00 pm, then of course we wait and the Dr comes in and says he is ordering the chest Xray and it will be a bit because there is someone in front of us...So that little trip to the ER lasted until 1:00 am....The Xray was good, J just has muscle contusions and is ordered off football for a week... UHHH... So now I ask, can I have a redo on this day LOL?!?!

My Very First Wildlife Vehicular Manslaughter...

Living in the country you have that constant thought that someday you are bound to hit an animal... Well I have been making sure I do not drive fast at night down our dirt roads because of all the deer and other wildlife. We have been out here for a few years now and tonight I had my first "wildlife vehicular manslaughter"....It was a young buck and I totally did not see him, he must have stretched out running fast enough that I got him with the front of my truck. I turned around to check and see what I hit and what I needed to do... So as I approached the buck he lifted his leg up but he was bleeding from his mouth, I felt SO-O-O-O bad!!!!!! I immediately went to call Hubby to have him bring a gun down to put him out of his misery, but then remembered that I had left my phone at home earlier so I had to race home to get my phone to call him (he was down the road working). So he gets home grabs the gun and we head back, we pull up and Hubby gets out and nudges the buck a few times and says he's already dead. I was like thank God!! I did not want that buck to lay there in pain. He was in the middle of the road so Hubby had to drag him into the ditch.

I of course snapped a picture of him just in case there is any damage on my truck, we hadn't even really looked yet. But we looked it all over when we were done and didn't find anything but maybe a spot in the middle part of the bumper! So all's I have to say now is Gotta Love my Dodge!!! I'm impressed that it didn't damage the truck!

So I am feeling really bad, and I hope I never hit another one!!

Warning!!! Dead deer in photo below!!

Truck and Truck?? It's a truck day!!

So today was a little rough for me LOL, not really but a little annoying...Again thank you to the storms I was without something!! Today it was electricity!! Luckily it was just a line down and not whole poles like we had last year so they had it fixed in a fair amount of time!! Then when my DD came home she was so happy and so sweet and then she got really sad....

Let me just recap this for you:

Me "Hey DD you wanna ride the 4 wheeler out and get the mail for me"??

DD "sure mommy"

.......Laramie barking.....Laramie barking, once again she doesn't bark unless there is something going on so I look out the window to see DD walking to the mailbox?

DD comes in and with tears on her face she hands me the mail, I say "What's the matter"

DD says "I don't wanna tell you while you are on the phone"

Me- "Hubby I gotta call you back"..

DD- "Ummm mommy I did something really bad *sobbing hysterically* I um got on the 4 wheeler after I opened the garage and I backed out and I uh uh *boo hoo* hit your truck * BOO HOO AHH HAA*"

Me- sets down the mail walks outside to see how in the world could she have hit my truck, well that would be because daddy took the truck this morning and parked it outside the garage door WHICH we NEVER do because we are always using the 4 wheeler!! So I see that there is a little damage to the bumper...Inside I go...

Me- "DD are you OK? Did you hurt yourself"?

DD- "No but I'm really really sorry mommy I didn't mean too"!!!!

I felt so bad for her!! She was so upset about it!!! But I was just glad she was OK!! And daddy says he parked it there so I didn't have to walk in any mud if I was leaving....

And a little dirt to boot!!



Then Hubby gets home today and summons me to come outside, so out I come and there sits a truck that J has had his eye on...So I holler for him to come out, I knew he would hear me thanks to our Farm house windows LOL!! Out he comes....all cool and like "yeah what's up" I know he see's the truck he just doesn't want to say anything yet...So I shake my head towards it, he says "is it mine"?? I say "no not yet, daddy brought it home for you to drive it"!! He was so excited!!

J sitting in it!! Trying not to burst at the seams!!!



Now we are driving, course he drives like a Grandpa cause he's afraid the bumps will hurt my back LOL!! He is too sweet!!!
