I think God smacked me in the face

Posted on Aug 25th, 2008 by ayla : Illuminated Skye ayla
Seriously.

If anyone read my rant-y blog yesterday (since erased with sincere apologies to the man above) they'll know that I was having a seriously bad day.  I mean, it was Sunday, but I was having a Monday.  I've been having a lot of those lately. 

If that wasn't bad enough, I starting complaining and whining about it.  A lot.  Bitch, bitch, moan, moan.  And things just kept going from bad to worse. 

So, there I was, out in the garden, trying to chill out and get some work done at the same time.  Of course it was blazing hot and not as pleasant as I had imagined it.  Daughter brings me my cell phone with someone on the other end - there is just no escaping it.  It was my husband ,so I'm talking to him, pacing around the garden, and yeah, just unloading all of my terrible woes upon his sweet head.  Next thing I know I stepped on a hoe.  Just like in a cartoon, it whacked me right upside the head.  Hard, too.  I fell to the ground, dropped the phone, put my hand to my throbbing temple and just felt pretty whoozy and even a bit pukey.  Ryan witnessed God slapping me upside the head and came running.  He didn't even laugh.  Oh, he's such a good boy.  He said "Mama, you're bleeding."  The phone started ringing and I was trying to tell my husband what happened but I was laughing rather hysterically and had to give the phone over to Amanda who was by then gettting me some frozen peas for a rather large bleeding goose-egg.  

Sleeping didn't go well lastnight because every time I rolled over onto my right side, well, pain woke me up.  No biggie, nothing life threatening, just enough pain to wake me up and get me giggling again. 

I swear, God, the Universe, or whatever you would like to call it/him/her literally smacked me upside the head and told me to shut-up yesterday.  Quit'cher whining, girl!

Got it. 

My big brother had a pretty good day of it, as well.  Any prayers for his well being and strength of spirit would be much appreciated.  Mike.  I found out he is a) getting divorced
 b) losing his house (so that's really b,c,&d - house, wife, kids) e) some apparition in a white tux (it's assumed he was a left-over drunk from a wedding on Saturday night) walking down the highway caused Mike to swerve on his way to a bass tournament and he rolled his truck & bass boat three times.  He's okay, physically (thank you dear lord) but pretty darn depressed.  Loving you, my Mikey.

Dearest Ayla! I'm not laughing but I'm smiling, I just loved that you laughed, through the pain, through the unbelievability of this latest delivery of ^&*^$ the universe has been throwing at you. As if the hoe to the head carried the message: It's all a big joke, get it? get it?

It reminds me somehow of something my mother used to say (a quote from somewhere, I'd guess):

     God works in mysterious ways
     His wonders to perform

Yup.

My prayers are with Mike, and with you too. Also big love and hugs, as always.

Love you!

OMG! Be careful what you say and do…things ARE manifesting in real time…and your brother is feeling so bad for you he is manifesting some deep shit too…

guess it really is time for us all to “begin again”…whether we want to or not…

We are all in this together…stay away form the garden tools please!

Big hugs,

Oh, trust me, Aley, my brother wasn't feeling bad for me - probably the other way around.  You'd have to know my big brother to understand it but I love him anyway <grins>.  Yeah, my Dad had the “you have to watch out for those mean ho's” jokes coming at me yesterday.  Everyone else just laughed their heads off.  My son, Derek, even said “you mean like in a cartoon but for real?”  Yeah.  LIttle Ryan is the only person who didn't laugh at me, well, with me.  I told him he could and he just didn't want to.   Isn't he a sweetie?  Maybe I can get him to crack a smile about it today.

Love you, ladies.  Thank you for being here.  Keep Mikey in your thoughts.  He's going to have to finally pull his head out of the sand after all these years and I just worry that he will be able to take the shock of it all.

Loving you again and again and again.
I'm off to do the orthodontist & physical therapy thing & FINALLY, if all goes well, open another checking account.  Fingers crossed

I've had those days, that have stretched into those weeks!  There comes a time when the sheer incredulity of yet something ELSE happening can bring no other response than peals of laughter.  And doesn't it just make it all the more pleasant, to star in your own comedy? I have been somewhat comforted (and even proud) during days like those, that you just “couldn't make this shit up!”

I am truly sorry that you got ho-smacked.

You have a beautiful family.  How could you not??  Lady, you are rich beyond compare. Love, love, love to your brother.

As the fellah once said, ain't that a kick in the head. Glad you were able to laugh about it, you wonderful woman. What would people do if it wasn't for frozen peas?

Love ya,
