Laughter is the best medicine.
If so - this guy could cure me.
And because I had to get those other pictures off the top of my blog..I thought I would provide some entertainment today.
When we were in TN, we went to a show at the Comedy Barn. Highly recommend it. The kids will still tell you other than horseback riding, it was the best part of the week. I thought K. was going to pass out from laughing so hard. Good clean family comedy. Anyway..they pointed us to this video on YouTube. We saw the same skit done with three men from our audience...and it didn't come close to being this funny...

Sorry I am too technologically challenged to figure out how to embed the image right now and frankly too sore to sit here and think about it.....
Enjoy the laugh.
Lastly - thanks to everyone who has sent well wishes and prayers for us. We are doing well. Both kids have had nightmares, but none last night. I am still sleeping on the couch with the tv to distract my brain so I can get to sleep. Basically right now, I am wishing I was 11 again. The kids sure have bounced back faster than I have. Although K. was at the nurse this morning asking for tylenol, today is the first day of carrying books etc. She was bouncing around most of the weekend, but would then crash and complain...all of my acute pain is gone, my arms no longer feel like someone beat me up, I can lift the milk jug! Woohoo! ...now I am just battling some headache and achiness that limits my ability to stay up and around for too long. after a few minutes, my head starts to pound and it feels like someone has hit me across the upper back with a bat. J and I took a ride in the car yesterday....the result for me was a melt down when we got where we were going, that took me totally by surpsrise, as I apologize to my friends that I melted down on! I was in tears most of the ride. Angry at myself for being so weak. I am not a weak, frightened, anxious person. I deal with life as it comes, one day at a time. I don't fret, worry and panic. But when I say that car ride yesterday was the most challenging mentally for me, I am not kidding. The first time J. braked at a stop sign it was all I could do not to jump out of the car. The physical result was also increased pain in my neck and a headache after only a 5 mile ride.....so needless to say, I had to make the decision not to go back to work today. Driving is not comfortable mentally or physically yet. I am seeing the chiropractor today, so hopefully he will give me some relief. The next step is me driving. In the meantime, I am trying to find the humor and most certainly the blessings. My brain knows things were not that bad, and could have been seriously worse, but my heart leads me down paths I don't wish to walk sometimes. We will be getting another Kia, and assuming we get fair retail value for my car, we can afford another one...the safety features of that car worked as they should have, and if it took that impact of the tow truck with the result we had, I think it can handle another car hitting me, so I feel safe with that....this is getting longer than I intended so I will bid all of you adieu!
I was tagged again by Marlene as a "blog she loves" - so when I can sit up longer, I plan on passing along some blogs I love.

One step at a time, Andi.....and take your time with the tag thing. Your health is much more important.
Andi-you are still in my prayers, along with K. and C. Take baby steps and take care of yourself along with the rest of your gang. Don't feel bad about breaking down-you went through something very traumatic and it's natural to feel the repercussions. Your subconscious mind remembers that accident even when you aren't actively thinking about it (which probably isn't very often right now). Anyway, it's a normal reaction, just embrace that self protection and move along. Thanks for the update and the email-hope to see you soon.---wish I were coming to cfac :(
