Programs, Ankles, Parks, and Friends...

I have a few tidbits...highlights...ramblings to share tonight...

First off, yesterday was our fifth grade end-of-the-year program, and it was AWESOME. I helped tape last night's performance, and it was GREAT. I tell ya what, it is always a highlight for me, and this year they did "Cecil Floyd Rocks the 80's". It was complete with Mr. C. and Mr. H. doing pre-show entertainment. I tell ya, it was a GREAT show.

Okay, now for the embarrassing part of the blog. Yesterday after tutoring I was walking down the steps outside the house I tutor at, lost my footing, and became one-with-the-ground. While I have spent a great deal of time falling in my life, this fall was significantly different. I twisted my ankle in the process, and now have an ENORMOUS bruise where my ankle resides. I went to our school nurse who looked at it and said, "You sprained it." I'm to stay off of it tomorrow as much as possible. Yeah, well, considering I need to pack I'm not entirely sure how well that will work, but I am going to try...

Needless to say, I ignored the nurse's advice and spent the day at Carousel Park with our third, fourth, and fifth graders. We rode many rides and laughed a lot. There was even a small roller coaster that I got to ride! That was fun for all! I knew I wouldn't get to go on that Field Trip again, so I went. :-) It was REALLY fun.

Finally, tonight I had a friend and her two boys over for dinner and we watched "Cars." I tell ya, I am blessed in the arena of friendships. Kim and her two boys both made us laugh a lot. It was really cool.

So, I am going to crash for tonight.

As always...

Life.
Is.
Good.

The sprained ankle...the sunburn...maybe God is telling you that you must stay where you are! You would make many of us happier if you did. :o(

If your ankle swelling persists, you should go have it x-rayed. A few years ago, I hurt my ankle and when it started swelling, I went to the Doctor who told me it was a sprain. The swelling continued and the pain increased so I went back to the Doctor. They did an x-ray and found that it was a severe break. Of course, by then it was so badly swollen that they couldn't put a cast on it...
Anyway, years later, I still have persistent ankle pain.
Just a thought.
Love you.
