BOY HOWDY!! This past week was a Humdinger! And it all started on Monday.
I was taking my sweet time getting ready that morning, and got out of the shower to find two missed calls from my Mom. Since I had already exchanged emails with her that morning and everything was fine then I knew something was wrong, probably with Dad. So I immediately called her back and long story short my Dad was in a Semi versus Tractor accident. And by the grace of God and his protection he was unharmed. He was hit by a Semi trying to pass him, when he was turning onto a side road. It's still crazy to even type that. He was hit by a semi and walked away without a scratch. Only God!!! I was relieved to say the least, and it really didn't hit me what had happened and what really should have happened, until several hours later. Then I got emotional! It didn't help that my Dad sent me a picture of some of the aftermath of the wreck and I could see the tire marks from where the semi had rammed into him and the tractor had been pushed down the road and then off the road. That got me teary eyed. But I am so thankful that God saw fit to protect him and give us more time with my Dad!
I had a cancelled lesson right in the middle of my teaching, so not a whole lot of time to do much. So I decided to put the ornaments on my music tree. I pulled out this violin ornament that my Grams had given me.
And then seeing her hand writing on the back, and how she beautifully wrote my name, got me all teary eyed again. I miss seeing my name in that hand writing...
Finished music tree!
I'm loving sitting next to this while teaching!
This day was either Wednesday or Thursday. I'm not really sure. By that point I was exhausted and days were running together. I was super tired all of last week (which I now know is from a sinus infection starting) so I was struggling a bit.
The weather for this past weekend was forecasted to be really nasty. Lots of rain, winds, and dropping temps. So I ran out Friday night to get some gas so I wouldn't have to stop on the way to church Sunday, and then I picked up some groceries via click list.
Oh wait, here's Thursday! Can you tell I was tired?! I am excited it is scarf weather again though!
I have been putting up more Christmas decorations, although I am going a little lighter this year. I hung up my special Stocking that has taken me through 2 different offices, and now my home. I had to snap a picture and send to April to see if she still had hers, and she does!! Long Live the Dream Team!!
Wednesday again, after Bible study, because I can see my nametag. HA! Side note, do any contact wearers HATE the feel of daily contacts? I ran out of my Air Optix, and have been waiting on sale. I got some dailies from Hubble Contacts to try them out and ugh. I only do it when I can't deal with my glasses for another day. And I never last the entire day with them in. they are so flimsy! And i feel like they dry out almost from the moment i put them in. Is this just me?
