Don't text and Drive

I decided to join Oprah's "No Phone Zone." I have seen so many heart breaking stories on the news about accidents that could have been avoided if the driver would have just not been talking on their phone or texting. I tell my daughter she will not be talking on her phone when she gets her licence, so why should I be allowed to also. I have been in the car with people who are texting when driving and it makes me very nervous, and can understand why accidents can happen. I have to admit that several years ago I was in a near fatal car accident, I took my eyes off of the road a moment to put a CD in and rolled my car three times, the only reason I am here to tell you about it is my seat belt. Talking on a phone, texting taking your eyes off the road a minute can mean your life.

I am choosing to do this to save my life and the lives of others.

HOMECOMING

My baby girl is going to Homecoming. The place where they dress up fancy and do their hair all cute and wear cute jewelry and have fun shoes on and dance with BOYS! I am feeling some chest pains, I am hoping it is from the chicken I ate earlier and will go away with a few Rolaids. I will have to post some pictures when she is all gussied up and looking cute.

It will turn out okay, I am sure all mothers go through this when their first child goes on their first dance. She has just grown up way too fast.

Versativle Blogger

Thank you so much Holly for this. I read your rules and I am going to follow through and see what happens.

I want you to all know I didn't make up the rules and it's okay if you don't follow them.

1. Share 7 things about myself.


1.~ I have a great dislike for Jello gelatin, I won't even buy it.

2.~ Every once in a while I love to read really good romance, they help me forget my everyday troubles.

3.~ I an running a 5k blue show run for prostate cancer in honor for my dad the end of September, and I am scared to death.

4.~ I have seen every episode of Walker, Texas Ranger.

5.~ I read, and read, and read, and read

6.~ I have been to 27 of the 50 states and am planning on visiting all 50 before I die.

7.~ I am going to start selling Mary Kay, and I don't want a pink Cadillac. I just think it sounds fun and a lot of people think Mormons are a cult, a lot of people think the same thing about Mary Kay.

8.~ I know we didn't need to add 8 but I love your blog, I think it is very inspiring. Keep up the good work!

Makaila

Why is it they go from 5 to 15 so stinkin' fast? It seems like just yesterday it was lemonade stands and kindergarten. Now it's EFY, EFY dances, and drivers licence. I remember helping her bear her testimony, and give talks in primary. She does it all on her own now. She is taller than me is more ways than she realizes. I love you Makaila, you have many who have gone before you who want you too succeed and do well, and many who are rooting for the same thing on earth. Don't forget how much your grandpa loves you and watches out for you every single day. He is your guardian angel.
I am grateful I don't have to go to high school now. You are amazing!
