My Number of Events







Starting on Wednesday, Chris's dad was admitted to Dyersburg Regional Hospital because he was having sharp pains in his chest and was also afraid of his lung collapsing for the 3rd time in 6 years. On Thursday our house was being sprayed for spiders so we had to be out all day. I took the kids to Okeena Park for about two hours and then we went back up to the hospital. This time Chris's dad had a room mate which scared the kids really bad because he was hooked up to a lot of machines. The nurse calmed them down by bringing them popsicles and pulling the curtain around. After awhile there, the doctor informed us that they were moving him to Jackson. I called Chris at work and when he arrived we all rode to Jackson together. We made a stop at McDonalds so the kids to rowdy up a bit and get a Kids Meal. We spent all afternoon in the room in which Chris makes the kids indian balloons out of the doctor gloves haha. We got home close to 9 that night and we were all just exhausted. On Friday I packed to get ready for my trip to Collierville! Right when we were getting ready to leave to go meet Chris for dinner, I went to get my bags and Preston had locked the bedroom door! I had to search around for a bobby pin to unlock it. We met Chris at Walmart so I could get a new hair dryer since mine blew out the other day and then we headed to the place with the HAT...Kayla calls it... haha Arbys. From here Chris took Preston for the night and Kayla and I left for my parents house. Chris and Preston went to get their haircuts together and they went to Hastings to pick out some movies but Preston picked out some cool hot wheels instead. 
I am still dependent on my GPS and if I get one turn off I get all worried. Well I was in Covington passing by the High School and they were having a football game and the road was blocked off with these huge orange and white cones. Well, I saw a police car go through them and my GPS said to go straight so I followed. Well he gets out of his car and asks me for my parking pass and then explained to me the cones were up for cars to stay out! Haha I told him I was from out of town and that my GPS told me to go straight so I just followed it and he moved his car and the other cones so I could get out! 
By the time we get to my parents house it is late and I am ready for bed. I passed Kayla off to my mom and headed to the guest bedroom. As I lay in bed I had trouble sleeping because my dad was on the phone with a friend and laughing continuously. I remembered all the times in High School I fell asleep to his band music. ha Saturday morning I got up around 6 and was sooo excited to get to take a shower in the remodeled bathroom! It looks nothing like it did before when I lived there. After I got ready I went to McDonald's for breakfast and my OJ. I met up with Jennifer and we headed to take our 4 hour Nursing Exam. The NLN book in which I was studying from was a lot harder than the actual test so I was happy about that because I was a little ahead. The Reading Section was long but the questions were pretty easy. When I read a lot and fast since it was timed my eyes get all dried out and watery. The Science part had random questions about snakes, the moon...! The math was all a review from Middle  and High School. It all looked familiar but it was a matter if remembering, plus we couldn't use a calculator so with there being 54 questions and only 60 minutes to complete, I spent a lot of time on scratch work. After the test Jennifer, Stacy, and I went to Beale and ate lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe! It was fun and we had our girl chats. 
Later that afternoon I picked Kayla up and heard all about the movie Space Chimps Grandma took her to see again! We went to Cordova to visit my friend Brandy who is expecting again in March and her son Dalton who is 4 like Kayla. The kids haven't seen each other in a couple of months so they had fun.  Kayla wasn't sure about his new dog Buffet though. He was a little bit rougher than she is used t
On Sunday we had a family brunch at Perkins! That night we went over to Chris and Tracy's house to watch the Summer Slam Pay Per View. We cooked out hotdogs and hamburgers. They had four wheelers in which Preston wanted to ride. When he got back from the ride he was in tears. I don't think he likes the loud noises because he was going slow. The kids had a blast playing with the other wrestlers kids and also loved playing with the dogs.

the cones story is funny- if you take a wrong turn doesn't your GPS just say "recalculating" and tell you a different way? mine has to do that all the time!
i hope you get good results on your nursing test!
