No More Monkeys Jumping On The Bed....Er....Skateboarding At The Park!

Sitting here typing this I asked myself, "Where did today go?" Oh, right.....dealing with Smack and his left broken arm.

Let's just say....Smack almost made it 13 years without a broken bone. And the skateboarding move that caused this left broken arm-FAIL!!

Urgent Care does live up to its name. One hour in and out the door. Now I must call the orthopedist first thing in the morning for an appointment.

Ah....the joys of boys!!!!

Hail + Sirens = CLOSET

Here is how our Tuesday night went.  First, I am home and ready to watch/flip between DWTS and IDOL.  And then the season finale of GLEE.  Let's just say NONE of that happened!  Between checking the radar on my IPAD and weather reports on the TV, calling Frick and Frack to say, "Get to QT with the truck, hail is coming!", Smack is getting the vacuum out from under the stairs getting ready for the signal to get in the CLOSET.  Oh, forgot to mention, Smack had already brought Phoenix, the bearded dragon, down from his room.  Thank goodness for the portable cage. 

Bear is in Kansas and texting, "You watching the radar and where are Frick and Frack?"  Gave him the update and then the sky grew DARK, the wind was howling and then the sirens started.  Oooppss....forgot to shut the garage door.  Garage door now shut.  Smack and critter are in the closet in their spots.  I hand Ruger to Smack to hold.  Smack is talented!  He can cradle Ruger and watch the RADAR on the IPAD without blinking an eye.  Shadow nervously gets in closet and Dakota looks at me like, "YEAH RIGHT!!  LIKE WE ALL ARE GONNA FIT IN THERE?!"  I shove his BIG behind in the closet and shut the door.

From the glow of the IPAD, I obstacle course it to find a spot to sit.  It didn't take long to hear what sounded like bowling balls hitting the roof.  I am busy texting Nichol, Bear, neighbor Scott, Frick and Frack, and Tara.  It is becoming a sauna in the closet as the dogs are panting and are nervous.  Every ping of hail that hits the house, Dakota scratches at the door.  Smack and I hear the sirens for what seems like FOREVER and then they did stop, we could hear them still echoing in our ears. 

As you can see from the pictures below, it was nasty but we were safe.  THANK GOODNESS!  So, out go the dogs and Smack and I go and investigate.  Frick and Frack arrive home safe and with a full tank of gas!

So, So GRATEFUL!!

Take a look at this beast!! I know, it's a black thingy. But it's more than a black thingy. It's my new EXTERNAL DRIVE with all my pictures that were CORRUPTED/LOST....never ever to be found AGAIN....RESTORED!! My "hook-up"/awesome friend worked and worked and ran and ran program after program to no avail. I was so close to calling in someone to play "TAPS" as I would have to say goodbye to ALL my digital history and memories starting from 2004. But what to my amazement one day when my IM window popped up and a file was attached of a picture from long, long ago. I almost peed myself, well not really but you get the picture (ha..no pun intended!) Any way, I am over the moon and then some. Thanks awesome friend! You are a rock star!
