Exodus 15:2
***The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.***


I guess I am clumsy! I was in a hurry trying to rush off to work to not be late and jumped off the porch step and totally twisted my ankle! It was BAD! I was laying on my back thinking I gotta get to work, my client is waiting on me and so I limped to the car...It hurt so bad all I could do was CRY! I cried so hard and about freaked when I loked at my ankle as in no time it was the size of a soft ball! That freaked me out even more! I called my DH as he is working light duty and he met me at the beauty shop...I still made myself do my 1st hair cut which is easy as he comes every week and it is a simple trim. Then I called my boss and off to the emergency my DH took me...He then had to return to work and another appt. he had to call our dear friend/ helpful neighbor to help me out the rest of the day! I had xrays and found out my ankle was not broke PRAISE GOD! But indeed a very bad sprain! I am now in an air cast for the next 2 weeks, and I had to get a crash course in using crutches! ( BTW there is a skill in using them) I am still learning it!;) It has been a long day and this photo was taken just before going to bed! keeping it elevated and on ice is my best bet right now! I did this the rest of thursday and will friday but Saturday, oh my! I am so busy! I have prom updos and a perm and other things to keep my day jam packed! I do not want to over do it BUT I already lost 1 day and do not want to loose this one ,So pray that I get a fast healing;) and supersonic strength!
My motto is Do not put off tomorrow what you can do today! I am so thankful of everything I got accomplished before this happened! I had all laundry caught up and dishes etc! Of course today is a new day and it all piles back up! I feel so helpless...God Give me strength to just relax!















My dear blogging friend HLIZA from Malaysia sent me a wonderful fun package from there and Hong kong...Of all times to be Blessed with this it sure made my roller coaster day wonderful! She knows how much I love palm trees and I was ever so Blessed with all these international goodies! I just love this kind of stuff! Thank you Hliza! I will cherish it all forever!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Evan was thinking of coming on Saturday to get a trim. I will tell him that it doesn't look good. He can just go to the barber like he's been doing. Glad your ankle isn't broken! Take it easy!

Ouch!!!! Give it plenty of rest or else it takes even longer to heal. I know it's easier said than done, but it is necessary. And, yes, crutches are difficult to adjust to. They need to have a tray to carry stuff when both arms are tied up.

Ouch..that hurts a lot! Have plenty of rest Mommy..maybe God wants you to pause and relax for a while. Glad you finally get the package..those little nothings..

Look at the bright side - if it took you this long to need cruches you're doing well!! There is a skill to them but you will get it. Try to rest and take it easy!
