As if my last entry wasn’t long enough, I realized I forgot to report a few things.
(Thank you grandma Thompson for reminding me of this)
Joey, our SBC in, told us he would install any extra phone jacks for us. When it came time, Joey told Scott that he was the one who would have to do the crawling under the house. Scott was not too jazzed about this and so asked if anyone else wanted to do it. Alix happily volunteered. She was very excited about the prospects of doing it. Once she got the hole, she hesitated a few moments. Then she saw some little army guys down there. That got her into the hole. Then we had her shine her flashlight toward the correct spot and Joey jiggled the cord. She saw it and got very excited and was off. She was back in no time and very pleased with herself as were all the adults in the room. Alix was the hero of the day for Scott.
Last Friday night I was emptying all the half boxes in our room. One of the boxes had some books in it that needed to come down stairs. I piled the books high and started down the stairs. I slipped on the first step and did the classic fall (feet out from under me and books flying everywhere). I landed on my back/bum on the fifth step. I felt paralized for a few seconds (I think my body just went into shock) and called for Scott. After about one minute I could move again but was VERY sore and had a headache. Since it was 1 o’clock in the morning anyway, I figured I should just go to bed. I woke up in the morning sure that I was going to have the worst back ache ever, but didn’t. However, my neck was shot. Scott said I probably had whip lash. Saturday evening at Joey and Gayles, I wore a hot pad most of the night to try and loosen the muscles. It seemed to help. By this morning, I feel good as new. Oh ya, did I mention that I broke the step? If you ever walk up or down our stairs be carefull of step five from the top, it’s a doozy!! That’s ok, it matches all the other things we’ve already damaged in this house in the two weeks we’ve lived here!! :0)
Tonight, Jaime was working on some math that she didn’t quite finish before dance class. She was trying to figure out who had more dimes by reading a word problem. We had gotten to the point where she should know the answer, so I asked her ‘Who had more dimes?’ Niah, in her cute 2 year old loud voice and from another room, answers ‘I dunno……probably Alix’.
