Can you say DHS?

Well, Steph has had a busy week and is exhausted. She fell asleep today in the line to pick Anna Lea up from school. The school called me and I told them to let her sleep til I got there. After trying to wake her up for 10 minutes, I decided to have her vehicle towed back to the house and let her sleep. Anna Lea was very excited to get to ride in the tow truck from school. That was 2:00p.m. and she is still asleep in the car. Don't worry, I added gas every couple of hours until it got cool. Maybe she will get up in time to get the kids to school in the morning. Anyway, I figured I would fill everyone in on the happenings for the week. It can be summed up in one word - DRAMA!

Anna Lea is currently wearing a white sling for the fracture to her upper arm. They couldn't do a cast because the injury was so high up. How did this happen? She did fall off of her bed but Steph should explain why she was on top of the bed. Steph has a real sweat shop going on at that house over there. She was making Anna Lea stand on top of her bed to paint her room. She finally took Anna Lea to the hospital after she finished the third coat of paint. Midnight on Wednesday and the emergency room got us right back. Plenty of rooms there to choose from. Which one do you think we got in? Of course, room #3- the same room J was in the day he went into cardiac arrest. We passed several empty rooms to get to that one. Steph and I wanted to throw up in our mouths but Anna Lea thought it was neat that she was in the same room as her daddy was. We got out of there around 0100 hours and didn't even go to Waffle House. ReRe learned a great lesson last night- don't leave your phone on silent.

That wasn't the only drama of the week. The other incident is still under investigation. Someone locked Baby Ally in the vehicle. There are three suspects- Steph, J Brent, and Anna Lea. We brought firetrucks, ambulances, deputies, and locksmiths. Nobody could get her out. She cried and cried and cried. I then yelled at her that her Uncle Scott is Cheesy and she began to laugh and rolled down the window. She climbed out the window and crawled into the house and locked the door. I guess she wanted to show the rest of the family how it felt to be locked out.

Jon Brent has not had his drama for the week yet. I anticipate him finding some permanent markers tomorrow and drawing a nice little picture on the newly painted walls. It could always be worse. He could eat a rainbow colored snowcone, go #2, and wipe it on the walls(that one was for you Kristen). We were able to work on some pressure points today and go to a football game. There will be no more pushing strollers for Jon Brent.

Steph and the kids are finally staying in the house. They have a couple of sheets hung up over the windows. Im not sure if they are for privacy or they are getting ready for Halloween. They do look good though. They still have several windows not covered so I can do the chuffle shuffle when they have company.

A company is coming tomorrow to bubble wrap the entire house. I hope this will help prevent further injuries and help time pass when bored.
