Dr T Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 My family, during family dinner every night, plays "High/Low." Many of you have probably heard of this game. We review our day and list the "high" and "low" from our day. Besides the high of a new day with air in my lungs and the blessing of my family and being loved by God, etc (which I can use every day of my life so far) we list the high points such as:"Today my high was playing baseball with my oldest son. His hitting, running, catching, and overall athleticism was SO GREAT to watch and take part in." "My low was seeing my family's cat skittish today after she spent some "quality time" with my seventeen month old daughter (she was too rough with Sassy and it shook her up)What was your "high/low" for the day?

pam Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 My high today was getting a text message from my son that he got a 95% on his biology test. He was so nervous and stressed and apprehensive about taking it. I was excited for him. Not really sure what my low was today. Oh maybe realizing that I need to get my car's registration done. That always puts me in a low. Quote
Dr T Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Posted May 8, 2007 Great example Pammy. This is going to be fun. I hope I read a lot of your High/Lows all. :) Quote
StrawberryFields Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 My high today was.... hanging with my son and hubby as we work on various projects around our home. Feels so good to get this stuff done at last! My low had to be the night mare that kept me away almost paralyzed with fear from 3:45- 5 am. I hate dreaming about war. Quote
shanstress70 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 My low was last night when my son was going to bed and I was lying down with him. He said, "You know that skull that's on my GraveDigger monster truck toy? I always lay facing this way so that he doesn't kill me when I'm sleeping." He was talking about putting his back to the wall. The strange thing is I did exactly the same thing when I was a kid bc I was scared of something grabbing me if my back was to the vast room. But who knew his monster truck was scaring him? Sometimes it's the things we don't even think about. I think I'll 'lose' the GraveDigger truck and let him play with the not-so-scary ones from now on. My high was when he said, "At church yesterday we wrote down our fears and threw them away after giving them to God. I threw away my fear of tornadoes and now I'll throw away this one after I give it to God." :) Quote
CrimsonKairos Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 High: Having time sporadically to play a sweet new PS3 game I bought a few days ago (Genji: Days of the Blade). The graphics, textures, lighting and music in the game produce what I'll call a game-gasm. Yeah. It's that good. B) Low: Not having more time to play said game. Hahahah, lame, I know, but I take any break I can get around here. Quote
Dr T Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Posted May 8, 2007 Shan,I love that he told you that. I love the high and good move about changing to maybe the "Daisy Digger" (j/k). ===CK,That game MUST be great. Quote
Aphrodite Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 My high would be my new pet lizard climbing in to my hands on his own accord which means he trusts me now and wont run away My low would be our car failing its MOT miserably. So badly, the garage wont even fix it so we have to get a new car such is life! Quote
Dr T Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Posted May 8, 2007 Ouch. That would be a low. I didn't know that a lizard, when it feels comfortable with its owner, meant that it would stay around. That is interesting. Thank you Aphrodite Quote
Outshined Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 Low: dealing with all the preparation to leave home. It's everywhere, it seems. High: took the family to the Biltmore Estate to see the mansion. We entered this huge marble bathroom with a fountain in the middle of it. Everyone was being so quiet and respectful and my son yells out "Riiiiiii-colaaaaa!" and it echoed like crazy. I laughed for like 20 minutes, and my wife kept saying "The kids are just like you; I can't take 'em anywhere!" Quote

Dr T Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Posted May 8, 2007 Outshined, That high is great! I would have loved to hear it and see you laugh. Great one. :) Quote
Outshined Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 When are you leaving? We'll all be praying for you!Your son sounds cool. :)We now have a solid report date of June 25th (it changed about 20 times). I'm taking the last couple of weeks off work to hang out with the family and have some fun with them. We're going to the Anbar province, just outside Fallujah.Yeah, my son is a blast. I at least got to ordain him and see him pass Sacrament for the first time. Quote
Vanilla Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 High: Getting to hold and cuddle with my darling 4 month old namesake. Low: Car had to be towed home because it wouldn't start and it was too late to take it to the garage. Quote
CrimsonKairos Posted May 8, 2007 Report Posted May 8, 2007 I'm glad to hear you're getting time with your family, Outshined. That bathroom incident cracked me up, I can just imagine being there in person, bwahahahahaha. B) Quote
Palerider Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 ...the high for me was....waking up to another great day, healthy etc....the low....driving home from work and being stuck behind people in the fast lane who are driving slow and talking on their cell phone......LOL!!!!!! Quote
Dr T Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Posted May 9, 2007 My high and low for 5/8/07 was: LOW: being extremely busy at work today without the opportunity to complete everything I have to do in a 10 hour period. HIGH: being extremely busy at work today without the opportunity to complete everything I have to do in a 10 hour period. Double edged sword. :) Quote
StrawberryFields Posted May 9, 2007 Report Posted May 9, 2007 The low for me was spinning my wheels thinking I was getting something done, then getting a phone call from my MIL come we need you, dad my need to go to the ER. The high was the problem could be taken care of in the office in the morning. We went to visit and took them dinner anyway. The high that capped off the evening was watching the birds in the backyard, a blue jay and a quail. :) Quote
