Gratitude day 24


OK, so i am grateful that all day's are not as crappy as today was and also glad i'm not that guy in the picture!
Let me start at the beginning:
I cried over stupid things all morning, at 11:30 Madison calls and Say's " Mom, I was goofing around at lunch and twisted my foot and I cant walk" Crying hysterically!! So i go to the school and she walks to the car with just a little limp, and I'm thinking to myself, it can't be that bad if she's walking. I put an ice pack on it for the afternoon and go on with my day. Dakota goes out to the garage and climbs up on the top shelf and, for some reason, I'll never understand jumps off!! He brakes his toe.. OK, there's more..... I bring in one of my Christmas trees and put it together, only i didn't realize it was our old tree until I was almost done!! So, I take the tree back down and bring in the right tree... I forgot about my visiting teaching appointments starting at 4, i was a little late! I take Jordan to work, go out to dinner with my siblings and then at 8 decide to take Madison to the ER. Well her foot is broken!! And it's a bad one, she has to stay completely off it for 4 weeks! She will see a specialist in 7 day's to see what the next step is. Meanwhile,My sister in law, who is watching Dakota and Shelby, text me that Shelby is shaking and Say's she's going to trow up! So I race to her house and, so far, so good! It's 11 and I'm really tired but can't go to bed because Jordan is at work and needs a ride home!!! And, in one hour i will officially be 40! Yikes, I hope tomorrow is a better day!

Hey Sorry about your day. Sounds like a bad one. I hope today is better, on your birthday. Happy birthday. Thanks for all you do. You are a great sister. Also thanks for being such a good friend to Angie.

Wow! What a terrible day. Sorry, but I had to laugh and I'm still laughing about your last comment that you were turning 40 in one hour. What a terrible note to end on. It's a sad "oh Joni" laugh tho. I felt so bad for you. Turning 40 is not all that bad especially since you had a party. Mine was not so good. It was just a regular day for me. Actuall it was the crapiest day EVER!!!!! I really hope your 40th day today goes so much better. You deserve it after yesterday. I can't believe Madi broke her foot and DakoTa(I spelled it right) broke his toe. How aweful!! It's a good thing our Tuesday is down sized today. Yeah for that!!!! Well I hope you have a wonderful birthday! Happy 40th birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sent you an email too. Love ya and no more broken bones...

Two broken kids in one day!? Oh, no! And you still tried to put up a Christmas tree - trying to be optimistic right? So sorry, Joni. You deserve better.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONI!!
I hope you have the best ever and you deserve to sit on your butt all day if you want. I am sorry about your day but like Julie I was laughing. Laughing is the best medicine right?? Sounds like you had a ER and Griswold day =) I hope you remembered to mark the tree. Was there a mouse that came out of your tree?
Love ya!!

I'm pretty sure all of that being crammed into one day qualifies as stressful!!! And you're worried about a little crying? I would be outright bawling!!! Sorry about Madison. Call me if you need anything:)

Joni, I hope you had a better day today than yesterday! I had to laugh though, cuz remember when Mom didn't take Karen to the doctor for like a week and her arm was broken? Just put a cold towel on it, and you'll be okay ;-) Hee hee! Well, I hope you had a great 40th birthday. You've now officially joined the Thomas siblings 40+ club ... congratulations! Love ya lots, and tell Madi and Dakota to get better!

Oh my gosh!!! Happy birthday...this sounds like one to write down in the books. I did sit at my computer and laugh my head off at your guy digging to the sewage pit...that was awesome! I really needed a good laugh today. I'm exhausted and tired and worn down...my hair is gray...the cat poohed somewhere in the house but havent found it as of yet,(It's 1 am) dishes are to the ceiling, laundry to the door...

Just wanted to tell you what a great friend you have been. It was always fun to go to work at Bob's just because we laughed a lot and talked a lot. I miss seeing you walk thru the door with your morning Dr. Pepper in hand, us trying to find who the phantom pooper was, labelling the entire office with sticker labels just for Bob, reading a good laugh on the computer, and listening to what's her names 30 minute phone message over and over again. You always made work worth going to. Have a better day tomorrow!

Not that I want to laugh at your misery...oh my goodness you win worst day ever!

Maybe you should go buy yourself some new pants to replace your bleached ones, and then go out on the town!

Julie said...

If you bought new pants you would just get bleach on those, like your pink shirt. ha ah. Just wear bleached clothes. It's almost Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!
