An eventful week

So the last post said how uneventful our weekend was, well that changed this week. We haven't had anything major happen, but it has been a little more exciting then last week. It started off Monday night after school with basketball practice for Bailey. I took her and the boys to Randolph and didn't get home until after 9:00 pm. The kids are suppose to be in bed by then and of course life gets crazy when the schedule changes. The next morning went pretty smooth. I got kids off to school, but not even 1 hour after school started the phone rang. It was Bailey and she was sick. She had coughed all night the night before, but I thought it was from playing ball. I was just on my way to get my hair cut but decided I better go get her first. When I got there she looked awful. Her poor eyes were running so much she looked like she had been crying. She said she had a head ache, sore throat, watery eyes, and just didn't feel good. Thank goodness for Tylenol. Needless to say Bailey has been home the last couple of days just hanging out on the couch. She has felt better, but her darn eyes just won't quit running. She is going to attempt school today.

Chad decided to go snowmobiling with some friends on Tuesday. This was the first time this year that he has went and he was very ready to go. Of course I am the worrier and think of the worse. You always hear of snowmobilers getting caught in avalanches. Chad promises me that they don't go where there is any avalanche danger. They usually just go on flat ground chasing coyotes. It is still in my nature to think the worse so I am always grateful for the call when he is on his way home. That call came around 7 that night and he said he had a great time. When he got home the stories came out. He asked if I wanted to see his battle wounds. I didn't even want to guess what had happened. He took his shirt off and had bruises on both arms and marks across his chest. He had been snowmobiling across a flat spot and the next thing he knew he was laying on his back in the snow with his helmet 15 feet behind him. He said he didn't know what happened but when he looked up his sled was caught in a fence. He had been clothes lined by an electric fence. The posts were white and the wire was small so it all blended in with the snow. He immediately felt his neck to see if he had any injury, but thank goodness his chest took the brunt of the hit. If it would have caught him around the neck it probably wouldn't have been good. He is so sore he can barely move. Now he wonders why I worry about him when he goes!!!! With all the things he does and the stories he tells me when he gets home, I have a right to be worried about him.

Wednesday night we went to a dinner with the Town of Woodruff. They take the ones that have helped with community events each year. It was over in Garden City at Bo Deans restaurant. The food there is wonderful if anyone ever needs a good place to eat. Anyway, we were almost there and we came around a corner just going into town and saw a semi jack knifed across the road. Chad got out to see if he could help. (He really wished he had his plow to pull him on) He had to call Stan Lamborn and he had to bring a chain and they finally got him back on. We sat and waited for about 20 minutes and was late for the dinner. When we got there about 3/4 of the people also going to the dinner were behind the semi too, so we were all late. Thank goodness!!! It was kind of a weird deal.

So like I said, not to major but just an interesting week.
