Thank you one more time....

The Lord is so busy safe-guarding me and my crew over here in New Market that it really amazes me that he has ANY time left for the rest of you. I feel like he has to say "Hold that thought- Drea's kids have done it AGAIN!"

Yesterday we were having a normal, pretty, Tuesday afternoon. I was on the back steps with the kids and Kyle decided he wanted to ride Kaylee's new electric scooter. (He just found out he could drive it over the weekend but I make him stay in the grass because it isn't as damaging as concrete if he has an accident... or so I thought) I put the scooter in the grass and pointed it towards our HUGE back yard and he took off. In 3 seconds... literally 3 seconds..... I experienced the worst scare in all of my days as a mom. He was going full speed towards the open yard but he cut it too close to the trampoline and the handlebar caught the net bar on the trampoline and it sent the scooter in a flip and it slung my child like a ragdoll into the yard. My first thought was that his arm HAD to be broken.... but then he layed there on the ground LIFELESS- he was not moving at all- face down in the dirt- and I was hysterical (I was on the phone with JD during all of this and he thought Kyle had been hit by a car by how I was reacting.) When I got to him I just knew he was hurt bad..... I grabbed his foot and he looked up at me like "What are you doing?" and just got up like nothing had even happened.He had been knocked out cold. I asked him why he didn't move or answer me and he said his "eyes were sleepy and his arms were tired" Our day of playing outside was OVER. I called the dr's office and asked them what I should do - I had already checked him head to toe and back and found nothing but a slight bump that I still am not sure wasn't there already - other than that- nothing. At this time Kyle was crying because I wouldn't let him back outside to play and RIDE THE SCOOTER! They told me what signs to look for and what protocol to go by but assured me that he more than likely just got his "bell rung". (we were headed to the ER but with him acting, playing, looking 110% normal- the nurses assured me the ER wasn't necessary- so we decided to watch him super close here at home. I would have taken him had I even remotely thought something wasn't right)
We had a very unrestful night of waking up every 1-2 hours to wake him up and letting him go back to sleep.
Whatever it was that happened- I hope to never witness my children, your children, ANYBODYS children do this EVER again as long as I live. I am SO thankful that the Lord watched over my precious boy yet again. It seems if you have more than one child you always have that one that gets hurt no matter what... that is my Kyle.... he is the stunt devil of the bunch and at almost any given time he has more bumps and bruises than he or I can account for.

He got a "stay-home-with-Mom" pass from school today. He was sore all over when he got up this morning- he hurt from his hand all the way to his ankle. Other than that he has been his normal wild self- running around, jumping off of everything, giving everybody hugs and kisses. This child will be the reason the funny farm will pick me up extra early this year.....

Thank you Lord- I will never repay you my debts but I will keep making payments.....
