The Summer of Survival continues...

This week was an interesting week. Well, in all truth, every week is an interesting week at the Harris house. We just seemed to be a little busier this week.

*Sunday- I ran downstairs to get something from the storage room when I stepped on a nail (it was in some baseboard Adam removed that he needs to put back up). As I stood there bleeding I looked over to find two 2 liter bottles of root beer spilled with a third half empty. As I was cleaning that up I also found an emptied bottle of red Gatorade.

*Tuesday- I came home from running errands to find Ian's entire bottle of seizure medication empty. Not knowing whether or not he drank it or spilled it I called poison control who then sent me to the emergency room. He was fine.

*Wednesday- I woke up to an awful pain in my foot. I figured I had injured it in my previous nights run. Later took Ian to his psychologist appointment where I was lectured for not having more structure in my home and for not taking time for myself ( I felt like I was at a therapy appointment for ME!). Then rushed home for a Relief Society Meeting.

*Thursday- Spent all day running around Baptism and birthday party invitations. Then waited up until 1 am for Matthais to come home from watching the meteor shower.

*Friday- Had an interesting date night with my handsome hubby at the Salt lake Arts Center.

A little culture mixed with recreational activity? It was defiantly something different.

Saturday (today)- Woke up and headed out for a run with Kinna. Made it 2 miles before the pain in my foot was back...big time. Now, I can barely walk. Really, really sucks! Later that morning Ian started acting very, very strange...turns out he was having a seizure. I left with Millie and Owen for a planned date at the mall and Ian had another seizure while we were gone. Thank goodness for my mother-in-law who came and sat with him until I got home. Oh great, He just threw up again... Oatmeal from breakfast...does it really take that long to digest? Now he's scarfing down pizza...I'm not a good throw up mom...hope he keeps it down. Funny thing, I was just telling Kinna this morning how thankful I am his seizures are under control. Did I mention my foot hurts? Really, really, bad.

Next week is just as crazy. There are 2 birthdays, 1 birthday party, merit badge classes, a ward FHE in my back yard, reminders to deliver, invitations to address and mail, a Relief society activity, a young men's activity, a primary activity, another date night with hubby and I'm sure lots and lots of messes. Summer is winding down and I can't wait to feel the sweet relief of school starting. Mocking Jay comes out August 24th and I plan on spending the first day of school reading and enjoying the sweet peace that only school can bring.
