Whammo What a Week!

So this week seemed like as good a week as any to start a blog- it has been quite a doosy! Monday heralded a series of most unfortunate events with a fantastic snowstorm and poor Will got in a good fender bender on the way to work. Of course we told him to take the i30 because it was safer in the snow than his little skittish toyota pickup. In retrospect, we wished he'd banged up the truck!

Monday night we invited all the kiddos over for FHE. We did dinner and had big plans to race Wheely Kings in the church auditorium, not realizing of course, that the whole church is under automatic lock down beginning at 6:00pm on Monday nights so people will be sure to hold- yep! Family Home Evening! The menfolk were brave enough to go ahead and race their intrepid 4 wheeled monsters on the street in front of our house snow and all, with only car headlights to see by. Us womenfolk stayed in the house and ate brownies!

A pretty righteous flu struck our home like a bat out of hell at precisely4:48am Wednesday morning. Gentry, Ashby and I woke up simultaneously aching all over as if we'd been beaten soundly with a club. Our heads ached, our limbs felt like 50 lb lead weights, our eyeballs burned in their sockets. For the next three days we hardly dragged ourselves out of bed. Thank goodness Cam left a bunch of DVD's for us to watch, otherwise we'd all have gone nuts! Poor Steve, who's already been fighting his own personal battle with a plethora of nasty germs for the last two weeks, had to wait on us and try to work as well. My dear visiting teacher, Sister Pat Romney brought us some delicious soup and breadsticks and thus staved off certain starvation!

On Friday Will's clutch went out on his truck and he came down sick too . . . Just too much good stuff!
