I think I somehow missed the last 2 months or so, lol. At the end of February I helped my sister to move from a bad situation into my grandparents old house. God is working in her life to make things better. At that time, she was driving my Ford and I was driving my mom's Blazer. The Blazer began having trouble. It started as the battery, then the transmission, all within a couple days. We took it to the shop, and they said the 4-wheel drive was stuck, which they fixed. They also said the transmission was going out, but it would last a little while. So, my mom and step dad went to pick it up for me, but, it turned out, that the transmission quit completely, because they could not get it to move from the spot it was in! So, to this day, it is still sitting in that same spot. Soon, my sister started having trouble with my Ford, thinking it had a leak. So, my mom took her their car, and they took the Ford to try to fix it. I'm not sure where things are with that right now. So, I've been depending on my mom and step dad for help getting around. Fortunately he has a Harley, and we have been taking turns with his suburban between the 3 of us.
Three or so weeks ago, a tooth that has had problems, but yet was not bothering me, started hurting extremely bad. The whole right side of my head hurt, and taking pain meds so much was making me sick. So, almost 2 weeks ago now, I got it pulled. It was a bad tooth too! The dentist had trouble getting it out because he said it was too large for my mouth (isn't that nice), so, I am still having pain from it. I had it pulled on a Tuesday, and for a couple of days I was down because of not only the pain, but the medicine for it was making me sick.
That following Saturday (last weekend) my mom and I went to run errands. I had a full list of things to accomplish that day, and we managed to get my Avon catalogs thrown out, and then stopped by my step dads green house. We went next door to the man who sells various things, brought them back and was loading up the back of the suburban. We had just turned to go get some planters that I'm planning on using to start a garden so I can sell produce and bring in more income, when Trinity, my little 5 year old, climbed up into the back, bumped her forehead on the top, causing her to fall. When she fell, she hit her elbow on the trailer hitch, dislocated it, and turned it slightly, also cracking her wrist. I heard her crying, and though she wasn't crying as intensely as Faith did when she was the same age and broke her collar bone, it was enough that I knew something was wrong with her. I ran to her, and as she was sitting up, she grabs her arm and says "I think I broke my arm". I go to gently lift her arm up, and saw an extra bump on her elbow (like the normal bump your elbow makes when you bend it, but there was a second one too), and her arm just flopped like a rag doll, like it wasn't attached. I wanted to freak! I turned to my mom and yelled "we have to go to the hospital, NOW!!" I knew this was bad, and it turned out to be what I was afraid of, and then some. We had to get transferred from the local hospital to children's because they don't have a pediatric orthopedic on staff. The accident happened around 4pm, and we arrived at Children's around 11pm. They said they would need to perform surgery on it and put pins in. We got to the room around 2am, and neither one of us got much sleep. She wanted me to sleep in bed beside her because she was scared. I think I slept lighter than I ever have in my life. Every sound woke me up. If an ant had of walked across the bed, it probably would have woke me! Trinity had her surgery Sunday at 1pm, where they reset and turned her elbow, and put in 3 pins. It's hard for me to think about it, and I'm glad I don't have to see it. She has been in a splint since then (1 week now) and will be getting her cast on Tuesday (she wants a pink one).
So, things have been rough, to say the least. Didn't I say in the description of my blog somewhere, something along the lines of my life never being boring? If you haven't figured that out from reading my blog by now, well, I don't know. Maybe you should read some previous posts? Lol, j/k. So much for my idea of posting every week! I sometimes think of things I might like to post, and never get the chance to sit down and post it. I keep saying how I'd like for things to slow down, and I keep trying to cut some things out. But, every time I do that, other things find their way in! Things that are completely unavoidable, and end up taking priority over everything else, such as my grandparents, my sister, my car, tooth, daughter's broken arm. I really believe that the enemy is attacking me and my family. All these things happening at once, especially when I know I am growing and improving in my relationship with God, and working harder to point my girls to Him. The more I and we are focusing on Him, the more these things happen. Guess what, I'm not turning my back on God! No matter how many bad things are thrown my way, I'm still not straying from this path! So, I pray not just for strength, but that the attacks just stop!
Okay, so, here's a thought about posting, and then I'll be done with this post. I guess I can try to post just the basic things that are going on in our lives, and not just try to always come up with something profound. Does that sound good? I do have something I'm going to work on tonight, and post either tomorrow, or sometime this week. I think this one is important and needs posted.
Okay, goodnight and God bless!!! And beware of those trailer hitches! They do more than just bang your legs!
