When it rains, it pours....

So this last week or so has been a little crazy at times. It started off with a 6am wake up call from my mom on the 6th. My dad was taken by ambulance to the hospital. He was admitted into the ICU, but luckily recovered quickly and was discharged on Sunday the 8th. I was really impressed with the doctors and nurses. They were great!
On that Sunday we decided to help my parents with some yard work. This led to Mike having a strained ankle and left me with a bruise and a goose egg on my head. We were removing a dead branch from one of their trees and the branch that Mike was holding onto broke. As he came crashing to the ground I caught the tree branch with my forehead. Don't ask.... Oh, and this was also the weekend of my birthday and mothers day. Luckily my dad was discharged in time and we had a makeshift get together with dinner.
Monday my grandma had surgery and I think the verdict is still out on whether it worked or not. However, she's doing well.
Then today I found out that someone has decided that our bank account is a community account and now our account is short a few ATM withdraws. All I can say is that I would love to meet the thief personally and tell them what I think of them. While I was on the phone dealing with the bank our sweet little artist, Alli, decided that the suede on the kitchen chair needed a little color. Permanent marker of course!! I think I was dangling at the end of my rope today!
On a happier note I got yet another new job. Just as I was getting used to my new hours they will change yet again. This new shift will be early in the morning. It will be nice to be home when Paige is off school and it will help with running the girls everywhere in the evenings. This means daddy will be in charge of getting the kids off to school, but he will have a meal ready for him when he gets home. Well, that's the plan anyways... :)

Gosh! That stinks. I'm so glad that your Dad wasn't in the hospital long. It stinks being so far away from family!
