It seems that we have been busy, but not a whole lot going on!
Lauren:
Had her Family Feast at school last Friday. My mom and dad went with me and Colton.
Colton had a lot of fun seeing and playing with all the kids.
When it was time to go get desserts, I think Lauren was probably the only one that asked if she could get more mashed potatoes and gravy first!!
Colton
Has just been playing and being a boy!!
We have been trying to potty train him for a while now, unsuccessfully.
He doesn't tell us when he has to go potty or even when he has gone potty, I know........ it doesn't sound like he is ready......He is doing pretty good about going pee-pee when I take him to the potty and staying dry between those times. But since he went poo 3 times the other day YES, I SAID 3 TIMES IN HIS BIG BOY UNDIES!!! We are using more pull-ups!!
I'm trying all the tricks with him. I guess instead of tricks it is just going to take time!!!
I will be so happy when it all clicks for him!!
Me
I had to work all weekend.
It was busy and crazy all weekend. We had a good trauma every night.
I know, my mom still shakes her head when I say, "we had a great trauma last night"!!!
Friday Night
A family was stopped in the road to turn into their home when their car was hit from behind and shoved into oncoming traffic.
By the grace of god, no one was seriously injured. just broken bones and cuts and bruises.
Saturday Night
The lights went out in a neighborhood so they called Empire. Who thankfully responded quickly at 1 o'clock in the morning.
Only to find an 18 year old that took out an electric pole and ended up about a block off the road. He had a horrible head injury. I would be very surprised if he is still with us.
This was very sad and I felt for the mom and dad. And, thank god for getting me home when I was this age and thought I was invincible also!!
Don't Drink and Drive!!!!
The chaplain reminded us nothing Christian happens after 9 and nothing good happens after midnight. I had to laugh because I remember hearing the last one a couple times from good ole' dad.
Sunday Night
Right off bat, I mean I just finished counting the narcotics. To only receive.... a 27 year old with a self-inflicted gun-shot wound the face. I think the words, "Are you kidding me?" in some form came out of my mouth!!
This gets better...... the entry wound was under his jaw with an exit wound around the bridge of his nose... The only thing he did was break his jaw in two places and completely blow off his nose. If he was depressed before, just wait until he wakes up!!!
What was kind of funny, if there is anything funny... he was awake and alert and walked to the ambulance, saying I don't want to die!!
Well buddy, not this time.
What a weekend, I think I slept all day Monday. Lauren and I are going to do some Christmas shopping today before her dance class. Tonight is family night so we are excited to go watch her.
