What a Crazy Week.

I would like to happily state that this past week/weekend is officially over with all of it's hectic and sad news!
Two people in the hospital, too much homework, and more than enough words to say.
The most stressful for me was mom's not-so-little hospital visit on halloween. I think that's the first time I've ever gone into shock. Of course, it was probably a good thing so I didn't cry and let everything out as it was happening, but it was a crazy, crazy night. And now it serves as a crazy, chaotic story.
I had come home after Mary and Mom had called me saying the twins were home because one of Mary's friends had taken them home. Not the original plan, but I rushed to my house as soon as I heard. When I got there, Mom seemed to be fine, and the twins were washed up and in bed. I talked with her--we actually got into a small argument about how Mary's friend shouldn't have driven them home, which I completely agree with--and went back to the kitchen to empty the dishwasher, I think. I can't really remember much of what happened before. Anyway, I walked back to Mom's room so I could apologize for overreacting, but she called my name before I could reach the door. She sounded really worried; I knew immediately that something was wrong.
When I ran into her room, she told me she couldn't feel her legs. I think my heart sank a lot when I heard that. She was really worried and scared, and so was I. But while I wanted to cry with her, I knew it wouldn't do her any favors. So, I pushed emotions aside. I tried to get her off the bed, and successfully got her to the edge, but I couldn't support her, and she couldn't support herself. There was no way that we could safely get down three flights of stairs to the car and get her in.
So, there we were, calling 911. Mary showed up at that point. We had her and her friend, Valeria (not the one who had driven the twins home), wait for EMS while the boys moved things out of the way. Jordan was stressed out, and for good reason. When EMS got to the apartment, it was a high stress environment for him. He didn't know what was going on, he had all these strangers in the house looking at Mom. I felt bad that I couldn't comfort him or notice sooner.
Well, they pulled out the stair chair, only because the stairways were too narrow for a backboard, and got her to the South Jordan Emergency Department. I beat them there though.
All in all, it was chaotic.

Hustling About.

Goodness, life has been hectic lately.

I started a job at the Megaplex and I absolutely loathe it. I think it will take lots of getting used to. I work for the Floors department and only get paid $7.25 per hour. We'll see whether or not this first paycheck is worth it, because if it isn't, I'm so quitting.

I'd really like to be a part of the IV Team that IHC has at Primary Children's. It would be some great experience and I would love to be a part of a great team like that.

School (summer semester) is coming up quickly. I'm taking several classes, and I know I'll be able to do well like I have been. I really need to raise my GPA up a few points. By retaking a few classes I goofed off in at the beginning of college, I should be able to get that honor roll grade point average soon enough.

Zeke went to the groomers today and man, am I so extremely happy that he did. He smells so good and he isn't shedding at all! I could seriously cry tears of joy.

Alex is doing very well on his mission. He still hasn't sent me pictures since the last time a few weeks ago, but he said he would sometime, so I guess it just takes a little patience.

I am in a community orchestra again. I get to perform in several musicals and we have an American concert coming up at the beginning of May. I'm really excited for it; I haven't performed with a symphony/orchestra since high school. It will be exciting to be on a stage again.

Short post, but jammed full of life details!
