18Bright side of a BAD day
by Erica in.
it started out having a bad day.... no babysitter had to miss work , friend came over so i went to get a haircut, she followed me there and took care of michael, on the way home, on the freeway, i was on the the third lane to the left and the car engine shuts off and i had to get three lanes over to the right, in major traffic, i barley made and the car dies.. i started to panick cause it's dark and i have michael and i'm on a freeway.... so i get michael and start walking and praying, and this man pulled over and i started to get even more nervous but i accepted the ride, he took me to a gas station and well his truck was really high , like three in a half feet, well i had forgotten about that so when i steped out of his truck i fell with michael in my arms he started screaming and i started to ball my head off.. okay here's my point like 3 people there helped me, the gas station let me use there phone and gave me something to drink, a couple wouldn't leave until they knew i was taken care of offered me money for a cab or tow truck, they waited like 15 minutes.. i thought of you all, who really didn't know me, but were there for me when i needed it the most, there are some really great people out there, and it doesn't matter what religion you belong to.

I guess was my point of telling what happened, that "we" were always taught that JW's are the ones who would act like these sweet people did and it made me smile, (when it was all over and I was safe in my own home ), that there are some awesome people out there that are just kind because there heart and soul desire it to be that way.... NOT BECAUSE THERE JW'S, but rather because they are human.

Thanks for the responce.
Mimilly... Your right about mothers instinct it was a pretty big fall, and I have a huge scrape and briuse on my elbow and my knee and back are both killing me, ( which is why I'm up ), but Michael is fine, I think the screaming and crying was the scare of the fall.
As far as taking a ride I hesitated and I decided to go for it cause the exit was far and the nearest gas station was even farther, plus there was no walking area when you get on the off ramp and on Friday nights in Sacramento traffic is horrible, but I was sooo scared getting into his truck.
I was so surprised that there were so many people who were willing to help, made things so much easier, emotionally soothing and phisically less stressfull thats for sure.
What a day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay here's my point like 3 people there helped me, the gas station let me use there phone and gave me something to drink, a couple wouldn't leave until they knew I was taken care of offered me money for a cab or tow truck, they waited like 15 minutes.

HARLEY,
Have you ever been on a Harley run? Time of my life, you CANNOT go wrong with a HD, especially the fun you can have, ( if you have the money ), hooking it up.
Definitly a HD, plus there so sexy, it's that "bad boy" look, the wife will love you for it.

I have three tatts and want more.
My first was my ankle its 4 diffrent flowers and in the back of my ankle vines are flowing up. My second was my lower back and its two dolphins in a heart shape with a sunset in the middle and waves beneath them it's the size of my hand I guess, and the third is a vine going around my second toe.
My next one will be Michael's name, ( my son ), I'm not sure where though. Any ideas?
I also have my navel pierced.

Panorama: outstanding!
by comment ini didn't see all of panorama, but what i did see was outstanding.
in its depth and thoroughness, it surpassed what dateline had to offer.
it really highlighted some key points: .

It's amazing how one can get so attached . I never was a dog kinda girl, but 4 years ago my baby was born on my b-day, and now I can't imagine her not being around, I'm her mommy.
(((((((((LB))))))))).My heart goes out to you.

Thanks, Yes Jaded, its the greatest feeling to know that he will be able to enjoy all the innocence and good times that a child should enjoy, I for sure will relive a happier childhood through him, he will be spoiled rotten on his birrthday, (and every other day ), and showered with gifts on Christmas and will participate in any and all sports he wants to. God is good and Michael will surely know that too.
NO RULES!!!!!!!!!!!! ( just a concience )
