So today- not the best of days around here and it got me to thinking about decisions or choice we make. When we were coming home from our trip to Utah I was at the Las Vegas airport with my three kids. We were walking to the terminal and McKell wanted to go on a moving walkway so she got on and I keep walking with the stroller(Nate was in it) and Alyssa was walking right behind me. McKell was about half way down the walkway and Alyssa decides she wants to get on, she runs over and doesn't quite know how to get on. So she is screaming and falling down, I have Nate and all our stuff that I can't leave and now McKell is getting to the end of the walkway- which is kinda far away. So I think to myself- who do I save? They would all be good choices- Stay with Nate- he is the most vulnerable, push Nate up and get McKell before someone runs off with her (then I would save two), leave Nate go back and help Alyssa and hope no one takes McKell. I stood there for a few seconds, all these things going through my mind and then a nice lady stood up and helped Alyssa on the walkway which was just enough help to save them all.
I think I was thinking about this today because it was a bad day. Am I making the right decisions? I think I have come to the conclusion that when you are choosing between good and good you have got to try and weigh the outcomes and maybe hope for some help.
I won't stop going to the gym just because Alyssa (who hasn't had an accident for many days) pees on the slide while I am working out. She has got to get it sometime, right? They got me out of a class and after I helped Alyssa, Nate started screaming so I left and went home. Thanks Jessie for cleaning up my stuff.
I guess maybe I'm not making much sense but hopefully it kind of is. Anyway, with the little things in life- it is really nice to have friends and family to be the ones to help you out a little here and there, it seems like sometimes all you need is that little help to be able to save everything important.

Sniff, Sniff. I totally agree I seriously don't know what I would do without all of my friends here. I have to do Physical Therapy 3x a week for the next couple of weeks and I don't even think twice about how my friends will help me out I love you guys. Nicole keep up the good work and going to the gym!
Hang in there! I think you are super woman. You've saved my sanity by cleaning up Megan's blow out-and I mean blow out-at the children's museum and by just having me over so that I can leave my KOA campground for awhile (I'm being pretty dramatic about this housing thing!)
FINE... leave me there all alone!
I'm kidding. and... i told you. Don't worry about the pee. Aspen used to hide under the slide and take a dump every time we went to the gym!!! It's too much fun to go potty!
Chin-up! Wanna go tomorrow? I haven't decided what I'm going to do... but it doesn't involve ABS! Mine hurt too much!
Girl just know we've all had days like that for sure! And you can feel great about the fact you're going to the gym. That deserves a gold start on your forehead for sure! I'm jealous you've at least started the potty training thing. I just keep saying every single day Baylor really needs to be potty trained - I should GET GOING!
your story in the airport made me laugh and cry. we've all been there and will be there some more i'm sure. at least we get to have these experiences together.
Nicole, if you can believe it I so know what you are trying to say :)! It was so fun to talk tonight and made me realize how much we miss you here! You are such a great friend and a wonderful person! Can't wait to see you and the kids soon!
