Broken husband....

"JF was run over by a helicopter." "What?" It was 6:45 in the morning, last Saturday, and I had just gotten the baby and myself back to sleep when the phone rang. "You need to find somebody to watch your kids and get to the ER as soon as you can, He's hurt pretty bad." Bad way to start the day. So, to make a long story short, JF was hopping into the back of a moving black hawk, when the tire caught his right foot and dragged him under. The tire ran over both his feet and had his left thigh pinned under the wheel, when SGT. Cook ( my new personal hero) heard JF yelling for them to stop and brought the black hawk to a halt. After JF flopped around on the pavement like a fish out of water for a while, the ambulance arrived and drove him to the ER. When I finally got there he was in shock and rambling like a crazy man about stuff that you wouldn't think would be important to a person in his condition, like his underwear. He has multiple bone fractures in both feet, and luckily his left femur wasn't broke, although his leg was squished with some pretty serious tissue damage. So, a shot of Valium, a shot of morphine, and two space boots/foot splints later, I brought my sweet-heart home. I am so grateful for him, and that he is still around to show off his mad wheelchair skills. Nothing will make you realize how much you love and need someone, until they get ran over by a 14000 lbs. aircraft!

Pop Quiz kids!!!

I usually don't do the tags that people send my way, but this one was kinda fun, plus I wasn't the one who had to do all of the creative thinking!! Just ask your little one( or ones) these questions about yourself and type in whatever they answer word for word. I learned some interesting things about the way my kids see me. Like, for instance, even though I am Connor's mother, we apparently have never met!! See what you kids have to say about you!
