Sometimes when it rains it pours.
This week has been a roller coaster, twists and turns in everyway possible. It started out Monday morning bright and early with phone calls and emails about the Canned Goods stand for the School Sale, to a meeting in the evening planning a meal to feed 50 people. Tuesday morning dawned bright and early with a Cardiologist appointment with the 4 yr. old glaring me straight in the face. That went fine, and the 4 yr. old was cleared of any heart issues, unless her symptoms climax. Wednesday I was home, we cleaned house, and it felt S.O. R.I.G.H.T. in everyway. It was just a wonderful feeling to be able to be home.
Thursday had us rolling a little earlier and faster. I had 5 dentist appointments lined up. Including a tooth ache for me. Several of the children that didn't need to go to the Dentist were going to my sisters house to play for the day. 30 minutes before we left, a text came through that nobody wants to read, I gasped and crumpled to my bed, as I read "I rolled my vehicle" and the next text said, "Call my man". I was shaking and weak, as well as all the children. There was no way I or Kayla could even drive to town. So I called my brother in law to see if there was anything I could do. There was nothing, so I just sat on the couch processing the fact my sweet sister had been in an accident. Her and the two littles were fine, just a few scratches. 6 minutes before we were supposed to walk out the door my brother in law called and needed a carseat, so we sailed. My children were almost terrified, buckle up, drive slow, are there going to be police? Oh the questions. Yes the state troopers were the best I have ever met. Soon after I got there, My other sister came, and the two of us went in the Ambulance and were able to talk a little. I had to leave unfortunately due to appointments, but another sister stopped in than too. I hope those troopers know she is a well loved sister! This evening I sit, weak, emotionally spent.
Half way through my day, Carter came to me and said LOOK! And there was blood coming out his ear, I wasn't worried since we are actually trying hard to get a big blood clot loose and out. But I was concerned when I seen it was actually draining liquid. Worry turned to relief when I remembered that tomorrow morning we leave @ 7:30 for an appointment with the surgeon. We really need that blood clot out, so we can make further decisions and plan on those two ears...
Tomorrow is the big day... We have enough orders for the first load of Golden Delicious Apples, 5 bins (100 bushel) We will need to make a 2nd run later. We love fall time with all the fresh apples we could want and Apple Crisp, apple pie, apple cakes, you name it!
I told the littles, I was coming outside to enjoy the fresh air.. So off I go!
