The Day Mary Tried To Catch Herself On FIRE!

The day was October 3, a Thursday. 2013. I was getting ready to start work. I had everything loaded and just decided to add some logs to the fire since it was cold that morning. I decided to "lock" the kids in our room that day. Boy am I glad I did! I put the baby gate up and put some movies on for the kids while I worked. I had not done this before so I am so grateful I did that day. I start work at 9:30 so I am guessing this happened around 9:28. I went to add some logs and a few pieces of paper to light since the fire had died down. When I added the papers I got feedback from me lighting them up. HUGE feedback. A mini fireball around my face and hand basically. A split second but weeks to recover from. I went into a panic. I looked down at my hand, it was black. I remembered in that moment of people who had lost fingers because their hands swelled up so badly around their rings. I ripped the rings off as fast as I could, and from what the ER doctor said, if that was the only thing I did smart that morning I did a good job! I started to scream, the pain was unreal. The smell of the fire/smoke is something I will never forget. I will still get a whiff of that when I am adding to the fire and it will take me back. I called Richard, freaking out and he said he was on his way home. I then called my Boss and told her what happened and I wouldn't be at work, obviously. I was screaming from the pain it was horrible! The kids leaned over the gate to see what was the matter, I gathered up what courage I had to say, Mommy's ok just go back to watching your Movie only to turn around again and started to scream again. Richard called his Step Mom........duh.....she lives just down the street from me and she's a NURSE. She came over and quickly realized I needed to go to the ER. So we packed up the kids and headed to the ER. I got there and shortly after Richard got there. I was a wreck. I felt Sooooooooooo stupid for letting this happen. I felt horrible because Richard was really busy with work and I knew it and I felt bad for pulling him away from there. I texted my friend Lisa and asked her to pray for me I had been in an accident and I would text her later with details. The ER doctor looked at me and got my pain managed. It took 2 dosages of Morphine but I finally was able to calm down some. Richard took me home and I attempted to get some rest. The pain came back, the burning pain that I just couldn't shake. Thankfully Richards friend from the area brought me over some Lavender oil. All I can say is that stuff works! Best stuff EVER! After that I was able to finally calm down a bit and get some rest. Thankfully I don't work Fri-Sun at this point and I took Monday off so I could heal some more. My mom came up on Friday and took me to my dr apt and brought me some food and helped me cook a few meals for future nights. It was so nice of her! My dad and step mom came over on Monday and brought some food and spent some time with the kids. It was nice they came! It took a few weeks but my hand finally started to heal. The weeks following the accident my hand was really sensitive to anything and everything. I got a few blisters by simply picking up a heavy bag or pulling my hand out of my pant pocket to quick. And when the accident happened and I was wearing my rings you can see where my rings were on my fingers. To this day I can still see where they were but just not as obvious. I am so thankful it wasn't worse. I am so thankful my kids were not in the room or standing next to me. I am SOOOOO thankful it healed as nicely as it did! I am Soooooo thankful for the people who came to my aide when I needed it the most. Here are some pictures! Sorry for being so graphic! Note to self. Don't try and catch yourself on fire again! Thanks!

The Exciting Month Of October!

The kids seem to enjoy their new school and back to the busy schedule of life! Avery wanted his hair long for his school pictures, I'm sure he will thank me later for that one. Hard to believe I have 2 in school! Before I know it I will have all 4.......crazy........This year we decided to let Avery play soccer. He really wants to play football but he will have to wait until next year before he can do that. He really enjoyed doing it. Just need to teach him to go AFTER the ball! He will get better with age, I'm sure! Regardless I am really proud of what he did this season! He is such an awesome kid. 








Who needs the toy Mom we have a box!


And............I'm BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Without even realizing it I dropped off the face of my blogging world planet! Goodness! I am way behind! Where do I begin!

I will start with back in September and go forward! Sound good? SURE! 

School started for the boys...BOYS!!!!!!!! 

Avery is in the 4th grade......4th!!!!!! 

Toby is in Kindergarten! CRAZY!!!!!!! 

I can't believe they are in school! The school is the same school Richard and his siblings went to! I love the Idaho living! 

We moved. Still in Idaho just closer to the farm and on the West Side of the valley where Richard wanted to be. We live on the same road as before just 5 miles up from the last house! It's much bigger and the kids have their own rooms (except Toby & Evan) and a tad cheaper, awesome right? I know! I'm way happy! 




This is our new place, this is just part of the HUGE living room! I am sitting from my desk when I took this picture! I love it!

Friday Confessionals 8.23.13


Yay for Fridays!!!!!!!! 



I Confess..................

I told myself I would do better at blogging.........guess who failed at that!? YUP that would be ME! 

I Confess..........................

School started up yesterday for the boys. Avery is in the 4th grade and Toby is in Kindergarten. Where has the time gone? Seriously? I can't believe they are growing up so quickly! Evan will start (hopefully) preschool at the school as well after Labor day. I'm really excited for him to go too. He will go in the mornings and Toby will go to afternoon Kindergarten so that means I can have a little one on one time with the kids. 

I Confess................

I am excited/not excited to get back into the swing of things. During the summer we didn't need to get up to get kids off to school etc etc so we would sleep in until 8:30 ish? But now that school is back in session we are back to getting up at 6:45.........yawn...........I am NOT excited about that part! 

I Confess....................

We are moving, again! We are moving to Dayton. It's only about 5 miles from where we live currently but it's on the west side of the valley and Richard wants to live here. The place is bigger than where we live and cheaper, go figure! Sad thing is there is no close place to buy a diet coke, oh how mean!!!!!! 

I Confess...............

I am SUPER excited for football season to start!!!!!!! I love football season! 

I Confess..................

I am adult but I have things to learn still. I am not perfect and I have made my share of mistakes. But at the time they seemed ok or I would think in my head to make it sound right to me. I've been hurt so I react on that. I need to focus on what's really important and quit worrying about the things I cannot control and worry about the things I can. 

I Confess....................

Avery is in Soccer and for the next 2 months he has games on Saturdays at we have to be at the park at 8:30 in the morning!? I may never be able to sleep in again!!!!!!

Last but not least...................

I Confess.............................

This is my personal blog! I go here to vent about things that are on my mind and for a journal for my kids later in life! If you don't like what you see, DON'T come visit here!!!!!!!!!! It's not like I am making money or anything!
