Watch Out

I've been noticing that my eye sight isn't what it used to be. It's funny as I get older, things gradually get worse, but I don't do anything about it- I just pretend that it isn't happening. But, my eyesight is getting so bad that I can't see all of the little black marks on music when I'm teaching (so I have to sit really close - my poor students) and I lost the alphabet game to Jed twice this weekend because I couldn't see the billboards. I don't even have to sing the alphabet to know what the next letter is (Jed is the bomb at the alphabet game- hehehe). So last night was the clincher. I was taking the YW home and it was dark. It gets extra hard to see when it's dark... Anyways, there is construction on Redwood and I was turning left onto Redwood. Luckily there weren't a lot of cars out because I drove right into one of those big orange construction barrells. I didn't even see it! One of the YW sitting next to me yelled "Jaime DON'T HIT THE BARRELL!!!" When I hit it (very slowly- it didn't do anything to my car) I yelled "SH--!" Nice. Sorry to all of those parents out there depending on me to be a great example. I think it's time to get some glasses.

Thanksgiving day deja'vu

Remember that fun Thanksgiving day at the Rasmussen's with dad and Bob? We will never forget... I got to experience it all again at a fun Hilton birthday party last night. Jed and Jace (who is a lot bigger and stronger than Jed) got into a heated argument about Jan. This is not a subject that should ever be discussed with Jed. He is very protective of his mom. Anyways, Jace was being an idiot as usual and Jed was keeping his cool pretty good until I got involved. Note to self: never get involved in a heated discussion with the Hilton boyz. I started yelling at Jace because he was making me so mad and what happens when I yell at someone? You Rasmussen's will all know the answer... I started to cry. ugh. Jed cannot handle it when I cry and the next thing I know they are wrestling each other in the kitchen with the whole fam damily watching (including our kids) and Jed is yelling at Jace to never do that to his wife again. Oh man. All the men went to break it up and all the women grabbed the kids and got out of there. No one got hurt, physically at least, and now we have uncomfortable holidays to look forward to. great. Why can't I just keep my mouth shut?
