Parking Ticket

In all the wonderful events that have taken place lately, I TOTALLY forgot to post this. I was going to that day that it happened, but Curt was out of town, and if for some reason he read my blog before I told him, yeah, that would've been pretty! :o)
I took the kids to Union Park to go splashing in the little wadding pool. Went over and played for about an hour and half or so, went back to the van and saw this piece of paper on my windshield! I am like what is this? So I got the kids in the van and got my little piece of paper, which was a parking ticket!!!! First of all, there was NO sign and the curb was NOT yellow!!!!! There was a cross walk, but I was 5 spots from that, and all the cars that were there when I got there, were still there when I left. I just glanced and noticed that NONE of those cars had parking tickets! I am like ok, what's the deal! I am thinking that he just got me because of Curt's stupid fuzz buster. He put it in the van for our IN trip and I just haven't taken it out. Curt was in Fargo this week, so he didn't need it either! Another thing, I didn't have my camera! The one time I forget to take it with me, I actually needed it!!! I THOUGHT about fighting it, but it would be my word against theirs, plus court fees and trying to make sure that Curt was home or get a sitter.... NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!! So, I am going to bite the bullet and pay the ticket... It isn't that much, I just think it is totally stupid that I was the ONLY one to get a ticket!!!!!!!!! What's up with that?

ARGHHH!!! Don't you just wonder, "why me???" I agree, it is easier to just pay the ticket, but stuff like that makes me feel helpless, and I just do not like that. And all you were trying to do was be a good mom!!!

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
