And to top it off...

This week has been... well... Eventful.  Really, my story starts about two weeks ago when I found out I am passing a kidney stone. {BLAH} I actually went with out pain for an entire week and joked about how I had passed it and all was well.  {WRONG!}

On Monday, I thought, "This is such a wonderful day, I hope I have many more like it."  I should have known that was the best day I would get for a while.  I woke up, worked out, read my scriptures, took my boys to a friends house, cleaned house, did laundry, and prepared for Stephen's Mom to arrive.  I made our favorite dinner, pita's, then headed to rehearsal.  I was so happy on Monday.  We listened to some beautiful hymn arrangements all day and I really couldn't imagine a better day.

THEN Monday night arrived.  I came home from rehearsal and went to bed.  Stephen worked that night, so it was just me and Susan.  Nolen woke up at 2 AM so I went down stairs and got him a bottle.  2:20 came around and I was in major pain.  I ended up taking two Oxycontin that made my Tuesday a big blur.  I went to rehearsal Tuesday night.  Wednesday was the WORST! I spent the day in bed and then ended up in the ER anyway.  I missed rehearsal, needless to say.

Thursday I spent the day at the Urologist and I have been feeling OK since.  Friday, I really wanted to get some stuff done so I packed up both the boys and took them to the UPS store where Edward smashed his pinkie finger in the door next to the hinges.  I opened the door and looked at his finger that was bleeding and swelling.  Off to the pediatrician.  {Awesome}

I have to say that although this week has been rough with rehearsal for Otello, kidney stones, and a fractured little finger; it was not as bad as it could have been.  I am so grateful my Mother-in-law was here to save the day.  I was able to sleep all day and rest while she took care of my two little boys.  I don't have many friends in Albuquerque and I know she chose to come this week for a great reason.  I love her! Thank you, Susan!
