WHAT A WEEK!!!

First I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Brandon. Sorry that your b-day sucked this year B. So our week started out good on Monday we went to Rochelle's and had a delicious Chinese dinner. Thanks Rochelle it was yummy. Then Tuesday and Wensday were just normal days. Thursday was the last day I had off until Monday so i was going to get Christmas shopping done (i was going to find some little gifts for all of you who got me something and i haven't gotten you anything. I"m sooo sorry)Anyway so i was going to do some more shopping and get Brandon a few things for his b-day. Well the day started out crappy. I was planning on watching Nikki's boys so that she could go to the twilight movie. so i was trying to get everything done before then. So i got the boys all ready and loaded them up in the car, opened the garage door and was like "ohhh crap" There was noooo way my car would have gotten out without getting stuck in the snow. So i was like ok big deal I'll shovel the drive way. HA HA HA yeah so i decided that shoveling SUCKS! I took me an hour to shovel the whole drive way. so i ended up taking the boys back inside while i finished shoveling. and of course when i got done and went inside Jaxon had destroyed the house. Anyways ok so i got over that and went to the store and noticed that i had missed a bunch of calls. So then Rochelle called and informed me that Brandon had been hurt snowboarding. So i was like ok so i called his cell phone and his buddy mikie answered and told me that he wrecked snowboarding and that he was in alot of pain they knew that he had broken ribs and a passable punchered lung. They were trying to decided if he could ride home with his friends or if he had to be taken in an ambulance. So that all sucked pretty bad There was nothing i could do but to wait. So his buddie finally brought him home and he was really hurting. They gave him 2 shots of Morphine up at Brian Head but it was wearing off now so he needed to take some pain pills. Well he hadn't eaten all day and took a loratab on an empty stomach. And that made things worse. he couldn't keep anything down and I guess throwing up with 3 broken ribs hurts real bad. Brandon said it's the worst pain that he's ever had. He finally fell asleep for about an hour and then at like 1 a.m. he woke up with some bad sharp pains. He couldn't breath very well and since they told him at Brian Head that it was possible that he had a puncherd lung I decided that we needed to take him to the ER. So we got to the ER and they did more x-rays to make sure that something else wasn't wrong. And everything looked good except he had like a little pocket of air outside of his lung. Its called some big medical word that i can't remember. but its just a very tiny pocket of air and that's what was causing him to have sharp pains. They said that we just had to watch his breathing and if it got to where he felt like he couldn't get enough air then we would have to go back in. So we finally left at 5:30 a.m. I got about 3 hours of sleep and then had to go to work. It sucked so i worked all day and then we had my work Christmas party. So I went to that. (I felt bad leaving Brandon home but I freakin paid like 92.00 for that dumb party so i felt that i had to get my money's worth.) Our work is kinda screwy they make the employee's pay for there Christmas party. You have to join the "association" and then they take like 2.oo out of your checks each week and then they use it for the summer party and the Christmas party. Anyway so i went to the party and the food sucked The prime rib, potatoes and rolls were cold. The shrimp was ok. But i did get a 25.00 gift card to Target. It was quite the day. So I'm sooo sorry Nikki, shallon and Becky I really was going to get you all something for Christmas but it kinda screwed me up when i had to pay the Brian Head medical place 300.00 for all of Brandons stuff. I hope you understand. I hope you all have a great Christmas and thanks so much for being my friends. And a real big thanks to Brandon's friend Keven, Rochelle, and my mom. for taking care of Brandon it means so much and were so Grateful to have such wonderful family and friends. I feel bad that the only picture i have of Brandon's birthday is of his cake. Its just so sad he can't lay down. So he has to sleep sitting in a chair. I don't know if this is a b-day that he's going to want to remember. But I do have alot of Random pictures. That I'll post. Most of them are just of the snow but i have to tell a little story about the flower picture. There's this guy that works at smiths his name is Jim Jone's and he is one of the funniest people that i have ever met. He works in the produce dept (keep that in mind when looking at the flower picture) So he made me this flower arrangement I was like "oh he's so nice" then i started looking at it and noticed that he put some bok choy (I think its a green vegetable that Chinese people eat)celery, and a green onion in it. So you kinda have to look close to see the green onion and celery. And then I have to post the picture of my shoveled drive way on there. But the picture doesn't do it's justice. It seriously was one of the hardest things that i have ever done. There really was a ton of snow. Anyways i have to get to bed so thanks for listening to me complain. And I hope you all have a great Christmas and a happy new year.

That sounds like a pretty bad week! I hope that Brandon starts feeling better, that sounds awful! It's even worse that it's his birthday and Christmas. He's probably going to have to take time off of work too...It's the gift that keeps on giving. I'm sorry Cass! I hope that this is a better week for ya and that you have a Merry Christmas! Are you coming to Delta at all?

Hurray, the week is over!!! Tell Brandon that I am sorry abouth is pain but at least he went down snow boarding instead of something like falling off the bed or something. Thanks for the email. I either email or blog and so this is my response. I hope you have a very merry Christmas. I would write more but my hands are so cold that it is kind of hard to type. I miss you. Remember when we had to put our food in the snow because we didn't have power?

Cass, did you get my email about the free Disneyland admission on your birthday in 2009? You should register just in case, it's probably one of the best deals Disneyland will ever have. Go to disneyparks.com. We have a sweet full-size bunk bed you guys could sleep in...Just an idea! I'm sorry I missed you guys while we were home.
