surgery




These pictures are not so good because I took them with my phone. Bret had to have surgery on Wednesday. I had to be down to the hospital by 6a.m. My friend who is so awesome had Kate stay the night over there so she could just get up and go to school. Troy had class so that left me all by my self to go take Bret in. I had to leave by 5:30 am. Bret wasn't supposed to eat after midnight. Bret did really good. We got there at 6 a.m. but you know how on time the hospital is. We got checked in at 6:45 and Bret's surgery was supposed to be at 7:30 a.m. Bret threw a fit for about 10 min wanting to eat but that was about it. When we got back in to the room I had 9 people come in and talk to me telling me what was going on. Then they would ask me if I had any questions. Talk about my head spinning. The Doctor's assistant came in and gave me worst case scenarios. I really hated that. Then at 7:20 this nurse comes in and says give him here. I was told I could walk him down the hall to the surgery doors previously but she said no just give him here. I gave him to her and I could hear him crying all the way down the hall. I got him back about 8:45. I think that was the longest hour and a half I have had in a long time. I got him back and feed him. We were checked out by 10. Bret did not get up until 3. When Kate got home from school she was trying to get him to smile. He would not so she came to me all sad and said " mom the doctor took his smiles away". He is doing ok today. It will take up to 2 week to heal. I am just really glad we are on the recovery end now.

school

We carpool to school and back. This morning was my turn to drive the girls. When we picked up Aubree, she was not happy at all. This was their conversation in the back.

Kate: Aubree what is wrong?
Aubree: My mom yelled at me.
Kate: That is not good. Why did she yell at you?
Aubree: I would not stop playing and eat.
Kate: That is not your mom's fault.
Aubree: Yes it is.
Kate: No it is not because sometime parents have to yell at their kids for stuff like that.
Aubree: No it is my mom fault she yelled at me.
Kate: It is not your mom fault Aubree.

They started talking about after school and everything was good. I had to just smile.



I was making dinner one night. I went to check on the kids this is what I found. They where making a train.





We got Kate a big doll house for Christmas. The kids played with the box for about 2 weeks after. When it was to smashed to play with anymore Troy throw it out when they where in bed.
