Survived Crazy Week!

Wow what a week! Lots going on, I hit the milestone of putting all our kids in school, my SIL had major surgery, conducted Jr high cheer tryouts, first football game of the year, Varsity cheerleaders competed at State Fair, Gunnar had bball tryouts, and first jv football game, Gunnar had first tackle football practice! Lots of stressful things in that line up! My stomach has been in knots! Lots has went good in that crazy week. Shannons surgery was successful, her biopsy came back today, benign schwannoma. They did get it all so no follow up treatment needed!!PTL! Cheerleaders did great at football games and came in one point of placing top ten at State Fair. Gunnar loved his tackle football practice, but unfortunately didn't make travel bball team:( SO far kids are liking school, the girls like it much more than Gunnar though. I think he's to the age where it's more work instead of play at school and he isn't loving that!! Projects around the new house are up & going. Painting the family room, Kevin totally cleaned out our garage while I was at State Fair(good man!), we haven't parked 2 cars in there since we moved in! The kids and I pulled weeds like crazy tonight(if you look out your window Courtney you can see us again!) The weeds got out of control real fast, I was able to fill 2 big trash bags full tonight! After typing that it seems a little embarrassing! One thing bad on the list this week is Molly's injury:( I get a call from Kevin Saturday afternoon saying "Uh whatcha doin?" I said were about to take stage in few minutes whats up? "Well.....I think shes ok but Molly fell out of the tree and hit forehead first!" My heart sinks to my stomach, instant guilt for not being home when it happened, I can hear her crying in the background:( Then nurse mode takes over with the 100 questions of all her symptoms etc. She put ice on it and was fine but I couldn't get home fast enough to see for myself. She instantly had a purple/yellow forehead, then Monday came a left black eye and now Tues came a right black eye! Poor thing is looking worse every day! Although she has been perfectly fine with no trace of problems I still needed to hear my doctors nurse tell me it was fine! It doesn't matter that I'm a nurse it seems to exit the window when it comes to my own kids! Here's pic of Molly on day 3 of hitting her forehead(photo taken today day 3)

Poor baby! I am the same way when it comes to think. Nurses tend to overthink things when it comes to our own kids. Darn it, you would call me about her kid and Id say "she's just fine" ha Next time you're on a weed pulling kick come on over and water my plants while you are at it! Id really like a rainy night!

Poor molly! So glad she's okay. Sounds like you chose a big group or girls for jh. After I left tryouts I never thought to ask u how many you went with. Reading about your week wore me out! Lol. Oh and I saw one of your girls bike riding with carolyn yesterday but by the time I saw them it was too late to tell which one! Ha

First of all, soooo happy about Shannon's news! Prayers answered there! Also, I saw Molly's eye when I was dropping off Alex the other day and she told me she fell! Poor Molly and poor Momma!!!
