WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES AHEAD!!!
We drove Grandma home Thursday morning, not after having mechanical issues and needing to borrow the neighbors car...
She is off safely and I return home...to rest as I stated in the previous post.
Then at 6:30 p.m. As Madi & Alexis were preparing to babysit for Dakota, An emergency presented itself. Abigel was cut on a piece of glass at the wonderful pond... my blessed pond is tainted, and not safe any more.
The hole was gaping, beyond my scope of home healing. (wink wink) Mind you the
suburban was not running, and I really did not want to borrow a car for a bloody trip to the E.R. So I said a little prayer, popped the hood and went to work, the battery terminal was icky, so I took it off, scraped it clean and re- attached the cable.
Engine fired up on the first try!
and so we packed everyone up and drove to the E.R.
Dinner was just starting when emergency ensued so we had Pizza Hut deliver to the E.R.
What fun memories to share with cousin David!
He was SO MUCH help in the ER, he kept Zeke safe and everyone under control while I stayed with Abigel.
What a bunch of great kids!

pooped out....
This has been Quite the week! On Friday I flew to Texas to help my sister out, all my siblings and parents were together to show our love & Support to Allie, her meds have made her very sick, and We as a family were encouraging her to get off of them.
So friday Early we flew in, met at Dallas Airport (HI Jannika!) and flew into Kileen.
That evening we met with Allie and she agreed with the conclusions and went to the Hospital that night.
We waitied in the Waiting room from 10:30 p.m. until 6:45 a.m. Tom, Allie & I while the kids and boys swam at the hotel.
Sat I caught up on sleep (my precious) and that evening we headed towards Dallas, My parents were kind enough to take everyone to 6 Flags.
On Sunday I went driving looking for the ward house, ˆshould have just called Janika, but I was being stubborn, thought I could do it on my own, with a little help from Mapquest. Hrmpf. NOT mapquest did not direct me accurately towards the building, and so i drove until the alloted time was up for services and returned to the hotel. I read my scriptures and journaled a bit. rested some more and tried to find decent food to eat.
Monday Mom & I with the 2 kids hit the road. we drove to Kansas City, stopped at Costco and on to the house.
Tuesday was another mad dash to the airport where we dropped off the rental car and picked up supplies for my building project. of which someday I will get updated photos of the house on here. (Roll eyes )
Wed. we cleaned the new house and grandma has been kind enough to slave away in the awful humidity painting and staining the cabinets and walls. (Since the label says :WARNING: California State has found the contents to cause Birth defects::
We would hate to have birth defects right? It is aggravating not being able to do the projects I have been looking forward to all this time!
So now tonight I try to make up for it by making a delicious dinner and writing about how AWESOME my mother is!
Thanks Mom,
YOU ROCK!
