Full Freaky Fridays

So - how are y'all?

Good I hope. I'm tired. Had a very, VERY busy week at work so I'm kinda wore out. (I took 4 trips this past week (The typical trip load is 2) and in the voice mail this afternoon, orders are even higher this week - so I may be busier!!! Great for finances, hard on the body!)

So, yesterday, we just took it easy. Since I'd been gone most of the week, after breakfast and Doreen left for school, I just laid on the floor of the girls room for almost 2 hours playing with them. It was nice. Then cleaned things up and headed to the mall to the indoor playplace, where Doreen met us after classes and we had Taco Bell.

Then we went to Lowes and looked at refrigerators and flat top stoves.

---Aye carumba, Doreen's talking with her sister who lives up in Minnesota and the high temp today was -13. That's dang cold!---

We did our grocery shopping, went home, put everything away, then headed over to the new house. (The carpenter didn't get to start doing his job this week - maybe Mon or Tue.) We took some measurements, and headed back to Lowes and ended up buying a new refrig and flat top stove for our new house. Yippeee!

So today, we headed to Doreen's Grandma March's house to help her with her cell phone operations and then to get some boxes from her store to assist in our move.
Then as I was packing some boxes in the vehicle, I heard a scream out of the store (which was closed at the time) and I sprinted for the door and heard a whistle, and passed Doreen who said, Grandma fell and needs help. Grandma fell down the stairwell and banged her head, back, hip and ankle. She knocked herself out - so I went down and tended to her and Doreen ran to get help.

She was out for 5 min, then came to, and help arrived and we got her to the hospital. She amazingly had NO broken bones. She's got a TON of bumps and bruses and stuff.

Luckily, during this whole ordeal, the girls were blissfully watching a movie in the van and didn't need any attention.

So we checked on her tonight - and she's doing fine. We took her glasses to Wal-mart and they fixed 'em right up.

They'll keep her in the hospital for 24 to 48 hours for observation, and then she'll be relased. It'll take a while, but before long she'll be around as good as ever.

What is it with accidents happening on Fridays lately?

Larry & Sandra's (Doreen's folks) garage burned on a Fri.
Sandra's fall and broken arms on a Fri.
Grandma's fall on a Friday.

Freaky Fridays indeed!!!
