hectic

as if things were not crazy enough around the scott household... I, me... I decided that we should go roller skating on sunday afternoon.  why not, it was kind of cold and very windy outside and we have never taken the kids roller skating.  so, skateport here we come!!  it was exactly like i remembered it!!  seriously, i don't know of anything that had really changed.  ahh, the rink surface was different.  it is now a wooden floor, where as it used to be this powder blue colored some type of hard surface coating thing...

anyway, i had told eric all about the suicides we used to get from the snack shop, you know...where they give you a fountain drink with every kind of soda in it!  it used to sound really good to me for some reason???  and this was where i was introduced to ring pops!  anyone remember those?  oh my goodness, i was so excited to bring back a piece of history and pass it along to my kids! lol  

it took me a few minutes to regain my roller skating prowess...but it came back rather quickly.  it must have been the exact same roller skates they had from 25 years ago.  kinley had NO FEAR!  unbelievable...she was a mad woman, bound to get hurt if someone didnt hold onto her.  she calmed down a little after falling down several times.  eric did awesome!  he picked it up really quick.  i told him that if he could make it a full circle around the rink, i'll buy you the infamous suicide!  he thought that was pretty cool...so he did it!  we met up with the girls in the snack shop and they young girl working the concession stand didn't seem to get the significance of a suicide???  and apparently they are not quite as popular as they were back in the day....but she obliged and eric loved it!  

a little later, kim decided she was going to venture out onto the rink with eric.  and for a while, i think it came right back to her as well.  but only for a while...  she was making her way around the rink and i was watching kinley up on the carpeted area, i looked over to see how they were doing and only saw eric on the rink.  then i saw kim headed back our way on the carpet...i thought, she must have fallen and she is done!  she did and she was!  

we finished up there about an hour later, headed over to mcsalty's for a little pizza and kim said her arm was really hurting if she tried to use it.  i was like, ahh...it's probably sprained or something.  so, we finish up there and go the grocery store.  same deal...she says, i cant lift anything with my left hand.  ok, we'll get home and put some ice on it, i lovingly said.   so, we head home, and when we got here, she started talking about it again.  finally i suggested she go get an x-ray.  this way we will know it is sprained and it will relieve some "worry stress" from her. 

so, she DROVE herself up to the urgent care!  sent me a text about 45 minutes after she got there...it said, "it's broken".  i felt like crap!!  still do!  i hate it for her, she had never broken a bone! 

so, the scott household, which was slammed busy...just picked up a little more!  pray for us if you would.  we are both traveling for work this week!  kinley is flying with meme for some girl beach time.  eric is going to mama's and papa's while we are out of town.  and please pray for kim as she is going to be at a sales meeting, with a broken radius and ulna in her left arm...

that was our weekend.  how was yours?
