So we got up at 5 am...got all the bunnies and other critters fed.. went to close the gate behind me.

HA!

Everybody else was in the truck.. I was in the headlights, tryin to tip toe through the mudhole and then I slid...and just dissapeared, in front of the truck. Did anyone get out to help me? NO!!!!!!

We're currently diggin the movie Grindhouse Death Proof, and the girl dissapears into the bushes after a really nasty stunt/accident scene, she was thrown from the car. She has a really funny Kiwi accent, and she pops up like a spastic Roo and waves and says with a really thick kiwi accent *I'm Ok!!!!*

So rather than lay down and feel sorry for myself, and wait for help to come.. Taylor, Blake, Squidz and Christian all see my 6ft3 fluffy pop up outta the darkness.. caught in the headlights.. covered in mud.. exaggerated accent.. spastic roo.... IM OK!!!!

Yeah.. that set the tone for the day fo sho....lol..

We're on our way.. and this song came on the radio.. it was a total Jarred moment.. and me, Blake and Christian got it..and I turned the radio up, Squidz and Taylor weren't in the know..but Taylor participated, Squidz just thought we were all nutters..

Ever seen the Chips Ahoy commercial where all the cookies are in the convertible and they are singing along to the Human League song *Don't You Want Me Baby?* and as they sing a hand comes and takes them out one by one? Everytime we were on a road trip, that song invariably came on, and me and the boys always sang at the top of our lungs.. so me and B and C did our rendition.. Taylor had no clue what it was about, but elected to sing the entire thing as the Cookie Monster, which was hilarious..

Squidz thinks were just all HUGE fans of the Human League I suppose...heh.

But I think, Jarred was there for the ride along.

The River itself was FRIKKIN' cold.. your normal body temp is around 98 degrees.. and the water was around 78 to 80 degrees on an overcast day.

The first rapids we hit.. I have to admit, I had a panic attack.. I know you all know what entered my mind... and with Blake being my mini me.. he did the same thing. We both tried to play it off before Christian and Squidz caught up to us, but I think Christian picked up on it, and he panicked a little himself.

I think it's just gonna take time. I think what happened is..I can now understand how tiring a current can be..and for a split second, I did panic at the current of the rapids, but the reality is... the water was only up to my knees. I am 35 years old, I have the facilities to think rationally and not panic and get myself out of the situation, I think my panic attack was from realizing... well... I think I prolly don't need to finish the line of thought..

Squidz took over Christian.. which was odd.. because thats more than his own father ever did.. the downside being, a gaggle of girls heard him talking, and he had a harem. Peg and Ali can attest , they've heard my goofy voicemail.. his accent is quite.. um.. spectacular...LOL (Hey Peg.. remember Friday's message from when I was on the phone with you? *Yeah I guess your on the phone love.. so..oi.. and um.. WHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....so.. i'm just here werkin.. and sewing animals together.. and GOOD ON YA MATE!... Call me back....*...LOL.. he was soooooooooooooooo WIRED!) ......ANYWAY.. these girls were just all googly gaga over him talkin the whole trip...disgustin' really..lol. Who falls for an accent?..

We hit rapids several times... and one time, I got stuck... and then crashed into by a big group ofpeople, came off my tube.. and rode the rocks and the rapids with my FLUFFY.. for several hundred feet. My hands, knees, legs and feet are cut up.. my butt and knees are badly bruised..

Would I do it again?

HELLS YEAH!

But no kids....

Blake and Taylor.. lil scavengers that they are... kept collecting peoples unopened beers as their coolers tipped overwhen they hit the rapids.. so we hit the river with a case, we left with about 2 cases of mixed beers.. and that's after drinkin our case!

Also.. I have NEVER seen so much NASTINESS... just in case it ever comes up in convo.. IMPLANTS CAN SAG!!!!

And the elderly should refrain from buying their swimsuits in stores intended for patronage by exotic dancers..

Even the swimsuits know their wrong..heh...

I do have pics.. but there is alot of ****age.. namely mine.. cause lets face it.. I got em..and my kids holding entirely inappropriate beverages.. which their just holding them.. but it does look like their drinking them..and once we hit the rapids.. the camera never came out again..

In closing.. my butt hurts..lol..

Seriously.. I had a glimpse of my former life tonight.. we stopped to get gas.. and Squidz went in to pay, and Blake dropped his coke on the floorboard of his truck, me and him and Christian freaked out, and we literally tried to hide it, and clean it up, out of sheer fear of the repercussions, and we were so consumed with trying to clean it before he saw it, we didn't actually see him come up (some lookout Taylor is) and he said "Oi, you shoulda seen when I dumpedme grape icee on the passenger floorboard.. smelled like Grape Ape Pee'd in here for a month" and he laughed about it, and got in the truck..

No earth shattering berating..reaming.. paying for it for the entire weekend..

Weird huh?

This makes me want to kiss him. Makes him more perfect.
 
Oh wow - I'm still sorta dying laughing about the "rising from the mud"...what a way to start the day. The cape and spandex doesn't protect you from mud? I have to remember that.

It sounds like it was really a "Jarred" day - in both good and bad ways. Its so special that song came on and y'all had a chance to enjoy it and remember. I'm sure it was bittersweet - and yet - Taylor's singing along with it - sorta is a reflection of how he is now doing more things with you. Jarred hasn't been replaced...your family has just grown and Taylor is making his own place. As far as the rapids and what you experienced and how it made you feel...maybe it was a good thing...even if it does haunt you later on. It may have answered some questions - I don't know. But if nothing else - both the good and the bad things - helped to make this a "Jarred" day...and made it special in its own bittersweet way. I wish he could've been there in person...

I love Rusty's accent...I can see why the young girls were swooning over him.

I can see that the spandex and cape is also no good against water and the rapids. So let's see....it doesn't work against mud....it doesn't work against water.....it doesn't work against rapids...

Maybe its time to hang it up and stop being wonder woman? :biggrin2:

I love how Rusty reacted to Blake spilling the coke in the car. That part of your life is over where you have to be afraid of being made miserable. I know it will take time to overcome those reactions....but someday - the way your family used to get treated will just be a distant memory....that fades with time. Rusty's love and patience and understanding will become "normal"....

....and you know what you'll find?

Normal really isn't just a setting on the dryer...it can become a lifestyle too....

And that isn't all bad...
 
I'm still giggling over the mud and that "I'm OK!" LOL! too!

What is it with those accents? I just love them too!

i know quite a few girls(ages 4-10, LOL:shock:)who could answer that question for you. they adore one of my closest friends............who happens to be a guy and who moved here from Germany two years ago............and still has the accent....i'mused to it, but the girls.............they're nuts! it gets a bit old, LOL! the little ones want to be held, the older one stands there and batts her eye lashes at him.........:panic:. and of course the two of us are almost always together when he's around them, so i get to listen to it:headsmack

any way, it sounds like you had a good time:thumbup!

 
Sounds like an awesome time - bruises and cuts not included.

And I think that it was definately a Jarred day, especially with the song - what are the odds of that being played just at that time?

Sounds as if your life is back on the 'happy tracks' :)
