On the day I found out the girl I was in love with slept with my best friend I went to a party (I was in college), at the end of this party there was a group of guy beating up a fellow classmate with blunt objects that looked like pipes and one baseball bat. We called the police and I went out to tell them to stop because the police were on their way. This is when the lights went out. I was stuck in the face with a baseball bat by a 17 year old kid from behind me. I found out later he was sneaking up from behind me at my 8 o'clock (if my nose is 12 o'clock). He caved my face in. I spent three weeks in the hospital, had multiple surgeries and thank god for insurance because it cost over 100 grand. I have 9 plates in my face and still have issues from it today. This happened in 1992. Bad day, it was Oct 4th which is coming up fast.
BUT, I lived and this assault changed my life for the better. It took a while for me to get over it and to get use to my new face. But I did and what does not kill you WILL make you stronger. That is if you want it to!

This is honestly the truth,
I just wanted to tell you what a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day I had yesterday, I believe we will laugh at this for a long time...
The day started at 830 am, which should have started at 745. (some one, Probably Mr Nobody, turned the volume down on the alarm clock and changed the channel).. Michael goes to summer school and the bus picks him up between 815 and 830. As I was rushing to get his shoes on, I heard the bus honk. I ran out and they said they could come back and get him. They did and that went fine.
Then I realized our two heaping full garbage cans were not in the street, and several blocks down I could see the Garbage truck moving ever so quickly away from our house. We did try to put them on our other corner, but we got a nice note saying they could only pick them up in front of the house. They are still full, so we get to take a trip to the dump.
A friend of Josh called and ask if he could come over. Now this boy runs up and down the isle during sacrament meeting and his siblings are not any better. His dad is in Iraq and I felt like his mom needed a break so I said OK. a few minutes latter his older brother came by with the younger brother and ask if they could play with Mike, so I said OK. a few minutes latter, here comes our huge 90 lb dog running around the corner towing his chain. Our dog (Dexter) is really a puppy still and loves to get on your lap. he licks and jumps on you, well, I sit out side with the kids because both of the streets we live on are very busy and I don't want my babies to get into the street or be taken, so to make a long story shorter, the dog decided to give me a hug and I tipped over on my lawn chair. I sent every one home and made my kids come in. (it was very hot and humid out side, so it was a good excuse to go in)
Steven wanted to go swim with a friend at the Natitorium so hurriedly I hopped in the truck, and the three little boys wanted to come. I let Josh and Mike ride in the "really" back with Steve and his friend. I put Justice in the cab with me in the back seat. I didn't have my license or any shoes on, I just rushed out. on the way home Justice was standing up behind me... he just wont keep a seat belt on. I was turning the corner and I saw a really beautiful blue car and the driver just happened to have a police uniform on, I was hoping he was on his way home, but as it turned out, I wasn't so lucky. He turned around and I new I was in trouble. I just pulled over and he didn't even have his lights on yet. he came to the window and ask if there was a reason Justice wasn't in a car seat. I said he kept taking them off, and he said there was a way to fix that and that was a car seat. (FYI, I didn't get into any trouble for having the boys in the "really " back of the truck, That part is legal.) I told him I was taking my 16 year old to swim and I didn't have my license or even have shoes on. he said "you DO have a license?" I said yes, he got my name and birthday, and we waited and waited and waited. As we waited, I put Justice seat belt on and had the two boys get inside. seat belted!! When he came back, he said he wasn't giving me a ticket for not having my license, but he had a NO Tolerance for seat belts and had to give me a ticket. He said it wouldnt go on my driving record. Just then Justice stood up again. The officer looked in the back seat at him and ask him what his name was, he said "Spiderman" He said "OK Spiderman, could you do me a favor?" Justice nodded yes and he said "if I give you a badge, will you keep your seat belt on, and if you take it off, your mom can take the badge away." He gave all three boys a badge and they learned a good lesson. Then Mike ask me if I was going to go to Jail. My ticket was only $45.
This week is Joe's finals... Yea no more school for a few months!!! I type his essays for him after he hand writes them, this final essay was supposed to be 8-10 pages. I had just finished the last page typing hand written stuff, adding paragraphs we had typed previously and so I was copying and pasting, correcting spelling, grammar, and punctuation as I went along. He realized we had forgotten a long paragraph, I had it in the computer somewhere, so I was going to copy and paste it. as I was looking where I had put it, I deleted the entire essay . Needless to say, it was due in 30 minutes and I had been typing for 1 1/2 hours. I just sat there wanting to swear and Joe said "darn it, dont you just hate it when that happens?" I appologized over and over again, and as I retyped it he went to school and the teacher said he could email it to him. It was as after it was done yet again, 1 1/2 hours later, we realized our internet service was having problems, so we couldnt email it. We did drop it off at the teachers house, and Joe gave it to his son, I told him the boy was going to lose it, but Joe hasnt checked yet, so we dont know.
Then, to top off a not so good day, we turned on the sterio for Justice to play his favorite three songs, "Who let the dogs out", " The Spiderman theme", and "Your beautiful", and the songs kept shutting off. The last time Joe turned it on, the Sterio receiver decided to shoot a little flame out the top to say good bye.
Joe did go play his usual basket ball game with his brother Lynn and friends. At 745 pm, Joe and I walked about 20 blocks to the church and then at 9pm, Nicole and Steven brought the four little kids to the church. While Nicole, Steve and I had a good talk the kids played with Lynns boys. Joe and I rode in the "really" back with the kids while Nicole drove us home. I would have to say the evening ended good.
The little kids said their own personal prayers as we all listened to them, and then we had our usual group, (or as Mike says BOO) Hug.
