Did you get the tag number for that donkey that ran me over

I have been i pain. So much so that I longed for the tinges of labor pains, as they didn't hurt as much.

Husband thinks it happened several days ago, while we were pushing a bale into a truck. Something in my abdomen herniated.I woke up screaming for my husband, crying and withering in pain. I thought that my stomach was twisted, or even an ulcer with a chunk of chicken embedded in it. I don't know it was 3 am and all I knew was that I hurt. Thoughts of a heart attack even entered my mind. I took 5 scalding hot showers in a 3 hour period, just trying to reduce the pain. My chest burned, it felt like I was kicked in the throat. It was all too much.

A large piece of muscle under my rib cage shifted, and was moving. The movie aliens flashed through my head. I'm going to die.

The pain dampened and I was able to function, except to breath. I could barely speak up, had to whisper because it hurt so much. Deep breathing was out of the question, and I would kill you if you got me to chuckle. Thank God I have a brother. I feel a lot better today.

I still feel like I have been worked over rather well, but I can breath and yell at the kids again, ha!

I never want to go through that again.

Depression Gift : Printables

One thing I do every year is make personalized mini activity books. Using no-line note cards, I will print out mazes, crosswords, coloring pages and even write up a mad-lid for them.

Use 3 staples at one end to secure them together, then a little paste and ribbon for the :"binding".

I received an email a little while ago. I should have posted it then, but I tend to forget.

The Christmas Advent Calendar has lot of PDF game for you to print out. All are free. Jut scroll down to the Christmas tree and click on a date.

Making your own photo calendars for family is also a wonderful gift.
