This last week has been full of highs and lows. And I really think I did some trauma to my head when I hurt my ankle because I have not been the brightest individual lately. Here's the breakdown of last week.
Low- Breaking my ankle and having to literally hop on one foot into the hospital because I wasn't bright enough to have Shawn drop me off at the entrance.
Low- Sitting at home not and watch my house get dirtier and dirtier as the day goes on and not being able to do anything about it.
High- Having Caroline stay home from school because she got a tooth removed and having her clean the entire downstairs. That girl is the best oldest child ever, I love her.
High-Having Shawn take the morning off so he could take Caroline to the dentist because I couldn't drive.
Low-Paying the dentist $$ for getting her tooth removed.
Low- Being told that Graham drank a 1/3 of a bottle of tylenol in one gulp.
Low- Calling my mom bawling and then Shawn bawling while crawling up the stairs, because I couldn't bear weight on my foot, to see how much Graham weighs on our Wii Fit Plus (because its the only "scale" we own) to see if I need to take Graham to the hospital and get his stomach pumped.
High- Learning that Graham would be fine and I could finally stop crying.
Low- Graham hiding the ranch dressing in the couch.
High- Having my friend bring me her homemade egg rolls for dinner because she's so nice.
High- Getting flowers from my awesome in-laws.
High- Having one of the other resident wives make our family dinner because she felt bad for me.
High- Making pumpkin rolls for a Relief Society activity at church with my friend.
Low- Making my friend drive back and forth to the store because I forgot I didn't have some of the ingredients.
High-Finally being able to walk without crutches. (ok maybe I only had to use them for 2 days)
High-Going to a movie with the whole family for free all because of Vanderbilt.
Low-Driving to church with my left foot in a skirt and an ugly boot.
High- Surviving the drive to and from church.
Low- At church today getting to hear people say they knew I must have been hurt really bad because I was crying after I fell. That's just embarrassing.
High-Getting to talk to my mom without crying.
High-Eating awesome food all day because that was my gift to Shawn for his birthday. Happy birthday Shawn! (don't worry I'll post more about that tomorrow)
High-Looking back and being REALLY glad last week is over and knowing my sisters are coming in 3 days!
