My head hurts!!

I don't have many opportunities to vent, well, maybe I do vent a lot, but today I am going to vent on my blog!
*Saturday, I went to the gym to work out, (because Steve thinks we need to get into shape before the Trek, not because I like it) and as I was moving some weights that a rude, inconsiderate weight lifter unethically left on the bar...I tore a muscle in my forearm!! Not nice.
*Sunday, Steve and I were asked to go to another ward to make a Trek announcement. They asked us to wear our "pioneer" clothing. On the way back to our home ward, our car has mechanical problems and we pull over. We get out...on Cave Creek Road...in the rain...in our "pioneer" clothing to check out the car. Because it is raining, I have my bonnet on and Steve has his hat on. I'll bet we got some really strange looks. I'm glad we didn't have a sign on our car advertising we are "Mormon" while we were standing on the side of a road in those outfits!!
* On Monday at work, I was talking to my boss and walked a couple of steps backwards as I finished my conversation with him. As I turned around...I ran face first into a sign. My feet went on either side of sign and my forehead, nose and teeth smacked right into it! My head ricocheted back. Eyes began to water like a faucet, nose began to run, teeth began to throb!! Boss laughed his rear off!! So stupid!!
*Steve and I had the ultimate pleasure of having Keegan for a few days just for fun. Monday afternoon, we took him up to Camp Verde where we met his parents. That night, Keegan had a nightmare and told his mommy that he dreamed she "went away!" I think I have traumitized my grandson!
*Found out today that the Target Food Court will be closed for THREE weeks starting in March. Is everybody trying to get me to stop drinking Diet Coke??? Susan, my friend that runs the food court, (yes, I know the names of the food people at Target,) said she was waiting to tell me because she was afraid of my reaction!! Then she laughed. Not funny!!
*Today, I had to pick up stuff ALL OVER Michael's because somehow people forget what aisle they find things in and then they change their minds and just drop it wherever!!! How would they like it if I just unloaded the truck and put stuff any where I wanted instead of where it goes, huh?? They must think I am just some old lady making minimum wage. Well, I am but...that's not my point. What was my point again??
*Now I have a headache...probably from the concussion I got when I ran into that sign. I think I need a Diet Coke! And a hug from Keegan!!

Fun weekend!!

Sorry folks...no pictures. I forgot to take my camera. Anyway, we spent the last two days in Flagstaff to celebrate our grandson, Keegan's, 3rd birthday. It was a full and fun weekend. Kristen and Jamon did a fantastic job planning out a great day for Keegan. Tracee and Rees came up on Saturday, too and stayed for dinner and the evening party. Steve and I spent the night and then Courtney and Trent came up for today. I can't believe The Keegs is three. He is so adorable and unbelievably smart!! He is soooo funny, too!! He makes us all laugh so much! Today, I was bent down picking something up off the floor...my white t-shirt was peeking out from under my sweater...and Keegan came up to me...looked down at my hiney where my t-shirt showed and said, "Punkin, you wear diapers?" Then he and his mother made up a little tune about "Punkin's" diapers! He is a funny kid! Reminds me of his Uncle Josh so much!
As I was in the car riding home tonight, I began to miss them all over again! I am so grateful for all of my kids! They make me so happy!!
