Changes

Last Sunday it was announced that we would only have sacrament meeting this week and then meet at the stake center with the other ward in our neighborhood later in the day to find out about the ward boundary changes. All week the girls have been nervous to see who would not be in our ward anymore. Madison has grown close to many of her leaders and she didn't want to lose any of them. She just got used to the change in Young Women president and didn't want to lose her. Sister White lives on the street behind us so I didn't feel that it would be a problem but Madison wouldn't believe it until she knew for sure. Allison's age group is really large so she wondered about many of her friends that she has made since moving over here. I was sure that some of them wouldn't be in our ward anymore but reminded her that they would still live in our neighborhood. Ashley was actually doing ok with the pending changes because nothing will be worse than Kendal moving to Utah in a month. Tonight we attended the stake meeting and found out what changes would occur. The girls did lose many friends and some leaders but it is going to be ok. When we moved into this ward it was the end of the world to leave the Haven Cove ward but look at them now they love it. Change is good and something that the girls need to get used too.

Scooter

Madison does not sit still very well. She always wants to be up and doing something so these crutches are killing her. She just couldn't take it anymore so she ran errands with us today. I am glad most stores have scooters. I am glad she is able to get out with us.

Not a normal kid

Madison was hanging out with her friends tonight and she text to see when we wanted her to be home. Her curfew is midnight so I told her that. Her response back to be was quite funny. I definatly had to share this text to show what an easy kid this girl has been.

I guess she is tired from working so hard being on crutches.

Schools of choice

Allison has had her high school years planned out since 4th grade. She has always wanted to attend Renaissance to get her associates along with her high school diploma. Just recently she started talking about maybe going to the Meridian Medical charter school. When she attended both the informational nights she set her sights on the medical school. Today the lottery was posted at the medical school and unfortunatly she is on the waiting list but she did get into Renaissance so she is at least happy about that. It was a real let down not to get into her first choice but she can try again next year.

Tooth pulled

Ashley lost a filling on Tuesday so I called the dentist and I was delightfully surprised that they were able to get her in so quickly. When I made the appointment I wasn't even thinking about her PACE presentation being today also. Ashley appointment was early so I shouldn't have interfered with her presentation time but unfortunately the appointment didn't go as planned. First when they called her back they got her mixed up with another patient so they started cleaning her teeth. I was a bit confused so I started asking questions but they told me this was the appointment that was made for her. She has her regular scheduled appointment for next week so I just went along with it because maybe they moved it up. Another hygienist came in and told her that she had the wrong patient so they switched patients and we were finally in the right place. Once Dr. Witt came in and checked out Ashley's tooth we decided the best plan was to pull the tooth. He was certain that another filling would fall out like this one so beside pulling it the other option was a root canal which I did not like since this was a baby tooth that was going to fall out soon. Ashley had never had a shot to numb her before so this was new for her. Dr. Witt usually uses topical numbing because it is less traumatic when she gets a filling and she has always done great with that. The numbing shots are definitely painful. She was done after that and wanted to leave but they still had to pull her tooth and put the spacer in. I felt bad for her but she did a great job. She was in a lot of pain so I didn't have her go back to school and so therefore she missed her presentation. I felt bad because she has worked so hard and she looked so cute all dressed up.

She rested for the rest of the afternoon. They gave her her tooth so she could put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.

Heartattacked

We have had a hard time lately and the girls have not been regular at mutual. Tonight we got heart attacked. It made the girls smile to know that they have been missed.

Moms sick

When it rains it pours. Kevin came home from his trip on Wednesday and I wasn't feeling the best. He checked my temp and it was in the low hundreds. He sent me to bed and took over taking care of the girls. I don't get sick that often so I was sure that I would wake up the next morning and feel better but that was not the case. My temperature just kept rising and just kept feeling worse and worse. At one point my temperature was a little over 105. I ended up going to the doctor today and I tested positive for the flu. I have never been so miserable. I can not wait for this to go away.

Kevin has done a great job taking care of what I haven't been able to. I hope I never get the flu again.
