Life...Never Ending

Well as I left off James' dad was put into a nursing home. He has been there for over a month now and seems to be doing ok there. It has been great to have the house back to us. Mary loves having her room back. Now I am just dreading this next week coming up. I will get to that in a bit. Mothers day was really great. Kids made me breakfast in the morning. A bagle and yogurt. It was so sweet of them. James tried to let me sleep in and relax but with 5 kids that wasn't going to happen. We went to church and got some chocolate from them. I automatically gave mine to James since it was a lot of chocolate, but really good. I did eat some of it though, Ben got the most, or I should say he had the most (especially all over himself). I also decided to use the money my grandparents gave me and bought a stroller.

I would have pictures of the one I actually kept, but somehow when I went and printed out pictures at Walmart I lost the SD card they were on. Man I have the worse luck with pictures. Luckily I do have the pictures so I can send those to my grandparents along with the thank you. The kids really love the stroller and I used it for the last soccer games that the older kids had.
I did get the job with the US Census Bureau. My first day with the 7th, that was orientation, my first day of training was the 10th. So I am currently working there until August (that is if I still have a job there now, that I will explain in a bit). It is fairily easy work and I enjoy it so far. All I have to do is just sit down and take phone calls to houses that have turned in the Census form and do some follow up questions. You would think people would just let us have the 10 minutes and then we wouldn't call them back again. Oh well those that don't let us finish and close their case will just get a phone call again from us.
On wednesday the 26th I helped a lady of our ward move out. I helped pack up the pantry and move other stuff out of the other rooms. I even got a thank you from the RS president who took me out to lunch on the 27th at Olive Garden for helping. That was really sweet of her and not necessary. I loved helping and it help me feel so good about myself. The only problem was after I had the lunch on the 27th I went to work and started having problems. I was having pressure in my chest that soon turned to pain. I also had tingling in my whole arm and I was also feeling lightheaded. I didn't like the way I felt so I talked to a supervisor and they even called 911. I went to the hospital, got an EKG done, then chest xrays and finally a ct scan. My results came back just fine, and the doctor said it was probably do to the helping out with the moving. So now I'm at home resting. I am actually following doctors orders which is amazing James. Love ya honey. One thing that really made it worse was the nurse gave me some anti-inflamatory meds that made me scream out in pain, cry and litterly try to tear out of my skin because it caused me so much pain. So now there is another med that I can't take. Now because of this I may lose my job at work because they are very strict on schedule adherence. I hope that with this note from the doctor I will be ok and can still work there. I don't want to lose this job, but I still want to get better. Man i'm in a pickle of a mess.
Also on top of all of this the kids will be leaving for Texas in about 8 days. I am glad to see them go, but I will miss them. The extrememl hard part is going to be saying good-bye to Mary. She doesn't know it yet (but soon will), but she is going to be staying in Texas for the next school year. This was my decision to send her down there since she has been missing her daddy something fierce. After the kids go there, they will be there for 6 weeks then Zach and Mary will fly back and David will stay down there for a few more weeks. Zach will come back for Boy Scout Camp and Mary comes back for Girl Scout Camp. David will come back with my ex in-laws in August and they will take Mary back down with them for her to stay there for the next school year. We are going to tell her on Monday (Memorial Day), that way she can say good bye to her friends. Man I'm going to miss her. I will get pics of the kids leaving so I can post them here. Ok so this is all for now I will update later after the kids leave since I am going to be busy helping the kids get ready. Love ya everyone. Have a great day. I think I am going to take some pain killers and go lay down.
