Russ and I were heading up to Chicago for the weekend and for the first time EVER I was actually running the half marathon instead of spectating (is that a word??) And then.....1:30 am and I woke up with the most excruciating pain I have ever felt (and yes, I know what pain feels like - I was dilated to 9 cm with Jane before an epidural). Finally 911 was called, went to the ER and guess what....gallbladder. No running for me. No trip to Chicago. No fun food or drinks.
What's a girl to do? Amen my parents were able to make it to the house before I left for the hospital. Amen my children slept through the ENTIRE ORDEAL. Amen that, while I have been uncomfortable, I have not had another attack like that friday night. Amen that surgery is scheduled for next week.
So....we decided to make the best of it. E woke up at 5:30 in the morning complaining of an earache. 5 hours later we had antibiotic for her first ear infection in 10 months and she was all better. J woke up disappointed that Grandma and Grandpa weren't there and so Russ dropped her off on the way to the doctor and she got to spend the day (and night) with them. C got to have a day playing at home without any errands, school drop-offs, etc. Everyone was good. We all got GREAT sleep that night and were ready to go on Sunday.
We decided we might as well have a "different" kind of fun and spent Sunday afternoon at the church Ice Cream Social. We brought Mickey with us so Grandma and Poppy could take the big boys to the Rams game.
First Time Ever On Horses!!!! E wasn't so sure but she was the first one to ride (She's tells us she's "very brave" J hopped on like it was no big deal :)
Relay Races!!
Ice Cream!!
Pig Races!!
And Finally....WHEN IS IT MY TURN?!?!?!?!
