~Bazooka??~

First, the funny........ Miss Lily wanted to watch the video of when she was young playing the bazooka!? Yeah, she was so cute and little and did such a good job playing the bazooka!? (Oh, and watch Lily when she starts bouncing to the beat... sooo funny! :)

If you can't figure out what the bazooka is... email me lol

Next...... I had a crazy day yesterday. I posted it on facebook, mostly for some sympathy :). But it was rotten! I took the kids to the eye doctor and found out that Kyle's eyes are just getting worse and worse....really bad, and he needs new glasses. Toby is colorblind and will be needing glasses soon. Then on our way home, we got rearended by a car that thought the light was green, but it wasn't. She hit us really hard. Toby's head flew back and hit pretty hard and he started to cry. Lily and DJ were already shocked, so upon hearing a cry, both started crying as well. The lady that hit us was sooo scared. She really felt bad. I didn't report the accident, even though I probably should have, but I was in hurry to get to SLC and still make it back in time to sub in a volleyball game. And would have made it, had it not been horrible traffic and a hail storm! Yeah, a hail storm in April. Anyway, I am not taking care of myself the way I should while Dave's been in China..... no exercise and very little sleep, so I can't cope the way I should (and typically do). BUT, despite my bad day, it didn't really feel that bad. I know that sounds weird, but I have been through so much worse, that these trivial things are annoying, but not overwhelming. My cousin said jokingly "It could have been worse" (right Andrea :) but that's the truth. I have definitely learned my lesson to never utter the words 'well it can't get any worse', because by golly it can.... it really, seriously, literally, totally can! Anyway, my day was stupid, and it left a sour taste in my mouth, but I finished it off playing volleyball with some great people and then walked outside to see the most beautiful snowfall everrrrrrr. Yeah, most people are annoyed to have snowfall in April, but it was gorgeous! Those little snowflakes served as a reminder to me of the beauty of God's creations. It somehow reminded me how blessed I really am. I drove home from vb in silence, with a prayer in my heart.
And despite my recognition and pondering, I was grumpy today again. :) But I know that I am loved and watched over by my Heavenly Father, and I know he'll help me, even on the days that 'can't get any worse'. :)

Tara, I'm so sorry you had a rotten day. Hope they get better from here. You're usually so positive you deserve to have a grumpy day now and again. Oh and your comment about my face was oh so funny. It was a joke right. "Beautiful"??? XOXO

I am sorry for the yucky day but watching that video has to make you smile. Lily always had the beat!

Andrea said...

You are such a positive person. I let little things send me into a spiral of self pity, and I don't want anyone trying to cheer me up or trying to show me the "bright side." Only after I have licked my wounds can I see the silver lining. Way to be, Tara. You're awesome.

That song is darling--I love the bouncing to the beat!

I'm so sorry about your rotten day. I wish I was there, so I could come over!

You are so awesome, Tara! I so wish I could hang out with you again! Hope coming days are easier on you, but you're a wise woman to know it can always be worse. I haven't seen much "worse" in my life, but I try to always remember it's out there. People like you who are so amazing even with in the "worse" inspire me to remember it can all change. I hope Dave comes home soon!

Can you see what a strong woman you are (have become) because of what you've had to face in life? I'm a disaster even on days that go seemingly smooth. You're an inspiration.
Lily has such natural musical talents, as do your boys I'm sure, but it's so cute to see such a little thing bouncing to the rhythm and playing the bazooka :) in front of people and looking so relaxed doing it.

I hope that you have had some WONDERFUL days to make up for the rotten one. Darn cute kids!

So wise, so wise! Amazing how circumstances are determined more by our reaction to them than by the event itself. You are wonderful and positive and lovely!
