Swimming through the Roller Coaster

just keep swimming,
just keep swimming,
just keep swimming swimming swimming,
what do we do we swim swim swim...

You know how life is compared to a roller coaster with it's up's and down's... It feel like lately my life has been a roller coaster, but a coaster stuck in high speed's of 100+ mph.
I'm not even sure what I've blogged about and what I haven't. Since I don't even have time to write, I sure don't have time to go back an read... so here we go.

Addi has been through a medical nightmare. She landed in Primary's ER, missed a bunch of school, and has to have surgery in a few weeks. Hopefully she will recover quickly and never have to revisit this nightmare! She has been a real trooper.

Mike went on a 'guy's trip' to Moab and got hurt on his dirt bike. I received a call on Friday and left around 10pm to drive down there and pick him up. I got there about 1:30am and turned around to drive straight back home. Mike and Amanda came with me so I wouldn't fall asleep. LOVE THEM! Mike (BIL) is one of my favorite people. We chatted the whole way down and back. They really saved me that night! Needless to say, my Mike cracked his sternum and injured his arm a bit. He was thankfully wearing his chest protector... which is ended up cracked and busted up. I'm just so happy it wasn't his chest that ended up that busted up. He's been in a lot of pain, but has pushed through a lot this past week. I realized just how much I like having a big strong husband when he couldn't lift anything or reach anything! I depend in him more than I know!

I've been working like CRAZY! It's a good thing, but I just never seem to have enough time to work and get my housework done. I'm going to need some adjusting... I thought for sure I'd have it figured out by now... but I don't. Shocker.

There was Teacher Appreciation Week... which will eventually have it's own post. Andthen there was a crazy class party. *sigh* I tried to do what was asked of me... it was all I could do to bite my tongue and 'go with the flow'. I ran into the bathroom and puked right before the kids showed up! I puked so hard it splashed back up on my shirt!!! DISGUSTING!!! I felt horrible and no patience to deal with an incompetent person who I wanted to strangle. This quote kept playing over and over in my head... "Lack of preparation on YOUR part does not necessitate an emergency on MY part!"... especially when I'm running a fever and have vomit splattered all over me!

Memorial Day was great! We spent it with Mike's family, and had a wonderful time visiting and had our annual Mi Ranchito's lunch. Loved it!

I went to a wedding up in Bountiful on May 27th. My cousin Steven's wedding! Well, techincally he's my ex-step dad's, half-brother's, son. He and his family were the cousins we were closest to growing up. Ther are some of my most favorite people in the world! It was so awesome to see them all. I love temple weddings, it's a good reminder of how blessed I am in my own marriage and the blessings we receive in having an eternal family.

I had 'bridal hair' last Friday for another cousin... Kara. She is an amazing and beautiful girl! I love her and loved being a part of her special day! (pics will come)

School also got out last Friday. Oh how I LA-LA-LOVE summer!! Sleeping in, sunshine, days at the lake, Popsicles, late-over's, no bedtime... pretty much I love the weather and the lack of structure in my life! I'm such a happier and better person from June to September!

We had a Garage Sale the next Saturday morning (yesterday)... made a little over $400. Not to mention, cleaned out the basement. Halle-freakin-lujah!!! And it's only taken me 10 years!

Whew... that's all I can think of for now. I have got to write more often so I can keep better track of life.
