Seems like a YEAR of knee injuries in this family! OH MY GOODNESS! The Hicks family, that is! YES, Terrie, you are still a Hicks! THE day Terrie fell off the boat and bruised up her shin, earlier that day I had closed the freaking safe door on my knee (left knee) and she had come thru my DT and I told her about it (as I "winced" in pain!) and she laughed........ and later that day she fell...... OK?????? that was our 2nd same kinda injury on the same day........ a few years ago we BOTH got badly burned on the same day.......... both the right arm i believe........ anyway, since that day, i've fallen at home and injured and badly bruised up the RIGHT knee of mine....... OH my goodness........... and yesterday (Saturday, April 26, 2008) my son (Terrie's nephew) decided to take a dive off the back doorsteps and land on his KNEE on the big ac unit........ OH WOW....... if this just has NOT been a month for knee injuries........... my left knee, that got "slammed" in the safe door at work (BY accident, mind you) still hurts......... the bone got bruised, and bones do take time to heal....... the right knee (this past week) was just one of those at home "slip ups" where the kids left something on the floor and I didn't see it b/c i work such odd hours, my sleep times come few and far between.......... BUT the bruise on my right knee looks BAD right now........ although the left knee, the bone was bruised and less visible than the right knee, was the worse one........ the right knee may look bad, but the left one is worse...... i showed the big bruise on my right knee to the kids in hopes they'd clean up their mess...... didn't work....... they looked at my knee like, "MOM, I'm so sorry........" then did NOTHING else.......
YES TAYLOR, I was scared of that Bull tonight, BUT I was more scared of the bucking horse....... OMGoodness.... that horse came after the spectators (at the Bullpit Rodeo) tonight...... OH WOW! I've seen the bucking bulls before, but tonight was the first time I saw a rider ride out on a bucking bronco (horse) bareback! HE had courage! THAT horse was PISSED OFF! OMG! HE, the horse, headed towards the gates....... towards the spectators...... you've never seen so many people step back so fast before.... i'd say run, but they didn't run, they just stepped back.......... that horse was MAD, ANGRY....... OMG!
I'd watch something like that again and again too, if given the opportunity to!
The Bullpit Outreach Ministry Rodeo every 4th Saturday of every month! On May 24th and 25th, though, it will be a paid rodeo rather than the norm........ they are sponsoring 4 young riders to go to Texas.......... I SO WANNA be there, I HOPE i can be there........ don't know what my work schedule will look like though!
OK, so my kids and i are taking up horse riding lessons............. WE will be (hopefully) riding in a rodeo soon........... in about 2 or 3 years hopefully........
Anyway......... time to say "Night" .......
I will talk to you soon,
Priscilla
