goose bumps and a little bit of a black eye

i have such goose bumps right now and not the spooky halloween kind, but the holy cow what a miracle kind.
the gal i call cool mama had her baby! this was the little guy that doctors told her long ago was not a viable pregnancy and would not live to delivery.
well go see how he is doing!!
how can any body not believe in miracles?

now, another story.
for those of you who have been anxiously awaiting it, here is the picture of my big fat black eye.
you can giggle now, because i am ok, but it was not funny at the moment of impact.
as you know, i had strep throat last week. i was home alone with the children and starting to feel a little bit better so i got up to do some laundry. jeff was at carson's football game, i was a little woozy, and then i turned around to grab a towel and BAM. this nearly six foot tall girl dropped like a brick into the door frame. whoops. so now i am trying to get to and from schools, grocery stores, church, visiting with neighbors all the while hiding my boo boo.
as if the stress of the election wasn't enough to worry about.

try and look under the crazy large forehead and there you go. like i said, you can giggle now.
