Slip Fall Ratio

I feel like I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off! I have been non-stop going, going and going. I am ready for a week of just standing still! I am not sure that will be coming but I can dream!

One thing is for certain...the snow can end! I love having a white Christmas, but enough already! I love the look of snow and I love playing in it. I just don't enjoy driving in it. It's a debbie-downer of a day when you wake up and you turn on KCCI at 5am and they announce it snowed overnight or it's currently snowing. Roads may be slick! White knuckles and I are becoming the best of friends. That is one friendship I would like to not have.

Speaking of slick. Story time. So gather around kids. We were visiting Michael's parents and the snow was as usual, falling. We were walking to our car and Michael announces "it's not even slick!" He then tried to slide and got no where. I got the car door opened, put my leg up and the next thing I know, I am falling. I was in slow motion. I felt like I was on pause. I slid under the car. The way I stopped, well, lets say, I am glad I am a lady. =) As I went down my bum slammed into the car. I am still sporting a nice black and purple bruise on my bum and the day after I do have to admit, I had to sit on a pillow. Michael and David had a great laugh about it and still give me a hard time. My slip fall ratio is increasing. I think I am turning into Bella!

We had some visitors this week also! My cousins from the Big K and Omaha headed over. It was great to see them and there is never a lack in laughter. I am so thankful they are in my life. It was great just to bum around with them at the mall. Plus the David (my cousin, not either of my brother-in-laws) impressions were amazing. Phil and Michael can always get a hard laugh out of me! It was great to see them and I am looking forward to next time when it can last a little longer.

Tomorrow is New Years Eve! What in the world?! Where did 2009 go? It went so fast! I can't believe it! I feel like nothing has changed but I know so much has. I am not a "resolution" person. I feel like I am giving myself a task instead of maybe a goal or ambition. Instead I just try to stay who I am and learn from my past mistakes and just keep moving forward. I will say a little disclaimer. I have never said that I am perfect. I am far from perfect. I make mistakes, but I learn from them. I just don't appreciate being judged when apparently you don't know me all that well. I love my family and I love my friends. I am not a perfect Christian but honestly, who is? Isn't that part of it? At least I am working on myself and growing in it everyday. I am a work in progress and I will always be. Please don't make false accusations or judgments when you don't care to ask about anything.
