How Much Damage Can a Mattress Do?

Apparently more than you would think. So Sara and I were driving to a florist looking for white carnations for her science fair project. We were on highway 75 going 60mph when all of the sudden we hit a stopped car in the middle of the highway. I don't even remember trying to brake or seeing any brake lights. It was night and by the time I saw it we hit it. Apparently there was a mattress in the middle of the road that they had ran into and stopped and then we hit them. Sara and I are fine. Sara was a little scared but perked right up when she got to go meet the police dog while we waited for the ambulance. I have a really sore chest, back, and neck and my nose is really beat up but for the most part everyone involved was ok. It makes me want to encourage everyone to make sure your mattress is tied down really well before you drive off. The police never did find who it belonged to which is to bad because if they had they would be paying for my car to get fixed instead of us.

Summer Vacation!!!

What's that you say you can't believe January is almost over- I can! And I am oh so excited! You see Jason and I are in the home stretch; this is his last semester and as long as we can survive the BAR this summer hopefully all of our hard work might just pay off. I say our hard work even though I haven't stepped foot in a law library or had to endure and 5 hour grueling exams, but I have had to live with someone who has. Which I have to say Jason has done a great job at working hard to succeed in school while still making plenty of time for me and the kids. He continues to be a great help to me that I could not live without. Which brings me to the scariest part of my life! The BAR exam!!! I have been warned that not only is the bar exam really hard on graduating attourneys, but I can pretty much plan on being completely a single parent for the 3 months it takes him to study for it and take it. I have never had to do that before not to mention I am trying to get to a point where I can work 30 hours a week while the kids are out of school. I know it sounds super scary right? Which is why I have already started planning the best summer vacation ever. Fun Valley Colorado is the best camping resort in the whole entire universe. It is like stepping back in time when the kids could just ride bikes around without worrying about crime and instead of playing video games and watching tv all day you can fish, play golf, surf the river, and hike some super awesome trails. Last year we stayed in a tent next to my in-laws awesome RV which was nice, but we didn't get a whole lot of sleep since Clayton would wake up with the sun at 6am and it did get pretty cold at night. So this year we made reservation to stay in a trailer with beds, a kitchen, bath, and living area! They have cabins and motels right there too but the trailers are super cheap at $60 a night and you are smack dab in the middle of beautiful mountains. So I can't wait, and all summer while I am losing my mind working and trying to handle the kids on my own I will be counting the days until my wonderful mountain get away! Just the break we will need before Jason jumps into his hopefully successful and extremely fast paced busy career.






Oh and I forgot the best part of it all is that the whole community is full of the nicest people on Earth. Everyone loves your kids even when they are sceaming. Everyone loves to hang out and chat, no one is in a hurry. I is like the perfect mayberry and the kids love all the friends they make. The ten days in never enough.
