Racing

Last night Joey and I did the in-law thing.  Wesley was racing at Bowman Gray and no one else was in town to watch, Audrey is at beach with his little sister, dad and grandparents. His mom is at home in SC, Josh and family was at beach, so that left us.  I hate for any of my family to do things and no one be there to watch so we went.  It was a very long night.  Pretty boring races, but I did have entertainment throughout the whole night.  Unfortunately it was pretty sad...There was a couple there she was pretty high on something besides alcohol. He was out of control stoned out of his mind.
He couldn't sit up straight at all, he fell over a hundred times, one time I saw her tell him, honey I just want us to enjoy this together, a few minutes later he asked where they were at...DUH do you not hear the loud car engines going around the track.  He probably thought it was something in his head.
I will say I laughed because I realized at one of the moments you just can't fix stupid....We had a little boy with us, Wesley told him, Riley that is why you don't do drugs, that is what you will look like.
I realized once again, this man and his woman need Jesus.  What possess people to be so stoned out of their mind that they don't even know where they are.  This lasted the whole night from 7:30-11:30, he was on some powerful stuff. I told Joey wonder why he just don't stay home in bed. Life passed him by and he doesn't even know what happened around him. Many of us are that way, we are stoned to selfishness, life passes us by and we don't even know what is happening around us.  We are zoned into our own minds, we miss the people around us. This fellow had no idea I filmed him, his girlfriend filmed him, teenagers sitting around him filmed him.  We laughed but at the same time I realized what a very sad, sad situation this was.  He has no hope, no joy, no life. We as Christians should not be missing life around us as this fellow was. 

Harper Sure Did

This is our conversation on the phone, Harper did you go to beach and play,

"Harper sure did"

Harper are you playing with Channing (Josh calls him Chachi)

Harper Sure Did

 

And of course when at the beach you have to eat hot donuts,

Harper sure did

That is her new saying...Oh how I have missed her....

                                                              I like this catchy tune

Choking

Last night we met Josh, Abby & Harper at her favorite restaurant, Don Juans....She tells the waiter rice, beans, and cheese please.  She loves to eat chips and dip, so they order it when they get there and by the time we have our drinks her chips are a little soggy to eat, but perfect for her. Harper has a tendency to choke easy and it is very unsettling.  Audrey doesn't like to keep her during meal times.
Last night I realized in a quick second how things can go terribly wrong in a blink of a eye.  Harper was choking and had a hard time unlodgeing the food.  There was a little air way still open because you could hear noise but her color was getting that pale blue look. Abby finally turned her upside down in the aisle way and she finally got it dislodged so Harper could breathe.  To say that dinner was not so appealing to any of us is a understatement... Harper had tears in her eyes and said "Harper choked." I handed her a napkin and she looked at me and said "Thank you Mam-maw"  in the sweetest voice.  I realized at that moment life can come and go so fast that we take for grant it that little problems are real important. God & Family are the two most important things in life that we have, we need to make the most of everyday with them....

SI Joint

My SI Joint is back out again, so I have been in pain since Saturday. I was suppose to make a announcement at church Sunday morning about our upcoming actives for the rest of summer, so I told Josh to make the announcement and say something catchy so people would pay attention. (Wrong Move) He got up there and told the congregation that I had been in a fist fight at Bowman Gray Stadium the night before and knocked my back out, unfortunately some people believed him.. In saying all this, when you lay around in pain life goes very slow, you have time to think, which I don't need to be doing.
I have realized that I don't need alot of things, that I need to make my house simplified.  Get rid of some junk, de-clutter, and re-arrange what stuff I have. When you lay around and look at stuff you realize that you have to clean around alot of junk that you really don't need.  So my goal this fall is to do just that.
