No Luck With Skeet

Another shooting game!
Carson would be really good at this.

He's been skeet shooting and was awesome at it.

2 Of Them

2 of my favorite things.

1. Fresh clean sheets on my bed.

2. Laying on the couch in a clean living room when it's dark, nasty and cold outside. Candles burning, watching a chick flick with my man.

A funny story from surgery day.

While we were in pre-op the nurse anesthetist came in to give Mike his pre-anesthesia meds. You know...the good drugs they give you before they knock you out. This girl had no more taken the needle out of his IV when his eyes started crossing. He's hilarious when he's like that.

He asked me if I would wipe his eyes?!?!

I just looked at him for a sec...thinking it would pass.

"Can you wipe my eyes...they're wet?"

Ummm - yeah.

I take the gown he was wearing and use the top of it to wipe his eyes (and they were watering).

Mike's response...

"Thanks Mother Theresa"

Drugs.

They do funny things to a person.

All Cleaned Out

Mike had knee surgery today.

It was an awfully early morning. We had to be at Arkansas Surgical Hospital at 6:00 am. We took Carson over to my parents house so they could get him to school. Dr. Scott Bowen performed his surgery. Back in January of 2004 he had surgery to replace his ACL (that ligament shown in the middle of the knee in the picture below. He tore his ACL while playing soccer (thanks for asking him to play Chris Burks!) We knew that he would need more surgery eventually and he finally came to that point. He said he was tired of it hurting all the time. Today Dr. Bowen went in to 'clean it out'.

It took probably less than 30 minutes. He went in and had to clean up some frayed ends on the ACL. He said that he had to shave about 1/3 of it off. He also shaved some of the meniscus (on both sides of the ACL) and shaved up and cleaned out behind the kneecap.

The surgery may help...some.

But Dr. Bowen said that he would probably need a total knee replacement by the time he is 50....in 10 years. (yes, honey - that's in 10 years!!)We'll just have to see about that. Mike said that for that to happen he would have to be really bad.

His last knee surgery resulted in a blood clot in his leg. After a night in the hospital I had to give him shots in the stomach of a blood thinner. He got over it and PTL it never affected him. This surgery was way less in depth and he's way more mobile than he was with the last (although by the above picture you wouldn't think so).

Look what's on the pillow.

A cell phone.

A blackberry.

A remote.

What more does a man need?

Check out the great job they did on shaving his leg. Smoother than mine...of course that doesn't say much!

Why God Made Moms

It's kind of a long read but it's cute.

Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?

1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.

2. Mostly to clean the house.

3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?

1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.

2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.

3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of ?

1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?

1. We're related.

2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your mom?

1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.

2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.

3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?

1. His last name.

2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?

3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

Why did your mom marry your dad?

1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.

2. She got too old to do anything else with him.

3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?

1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.

2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.

3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms & dads?

1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.

2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.

3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.

4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?

1. Mothers don't do spare time.

2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?

1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.

2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?

1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.

2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.

3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.
