The weekend was a bust!!!!

So funny how sometimes the things you look forward to the most just end up being nothing like you had planned!!! I guess always expect the unexpected! For more than a month we have been planning a camping weekend with the Prevett and Baker families... camping... boating... fun fun fun. We haven't done it in 2 years and I was really looking forward to it. It was suppose to be a nice weekend... and I was excited to have some other people to go boating with... Baker's have their boat and we had ours... and we all get along really well.... it was going to be fun fun!! So Brent and I decided to go up and stay Friday night...we got about 10 miles from the lake when he got the call.... he was being called up to go to Iowa for flood duty for an undetermined amount of time and had to report to the armory as soon as possible. So then it was.... what to do from there... we dropped off all the camping stuff and the boat and headed back to our house... 2 hours away... he got his stuff and headed to Iowa. Then about 15 minutes after he leaves I'm standing in my kitchen and water starts pouring out of the ceiling.... talk about freak me out.... I ran upstairs and my bathroom was completely flooded.... the toilet just went crazy.... long story short and lucky for me my brother-in-law is a plumber! Then.... I went back to the campsite.... knowing I was going to have to haul that stupid boat back home by myself... and I just don't deal with the boat.... but... I didn't have much choice. So... we had some fun... even without Brent... but then Sat. evening Raegan crashes her bike and was stopped by her head hitting the ground.... she wasn't quite herself but not too bad. We went along as usual... the next day I decided to leave early... to get the boat back because I thought it was going to do nothing but rain (which it didn't) but good thing I did come back because later that evening Raegan started the vomiting... she threw up the only thing she had eaten in two days.... so there it was.... yet ANOTHER phone call to my sister telling her I'm headed to the ER and can she take Brock... anyway... thank goodness for my wonderful brother-in-law... he watched Brock while Terri went with me to the hospital... 3 1/2 hours ... and a CT scan later.... we found out there was no serious damage done... just to watch her closely. So anyway... needless to say... the weekend did not turn out to be at all what I had planned and frankly I'm exhausted... and I'm sick and tired of dealing with doctors. And unfortunately I'm not done yet... Raegan seems to have some other "issues" that I just won't go into right now. I sooooo wish I had a doctor... or even a nurse in the family... it's so hard to know what to do. But enough of that.... here are the only pictures I took over the weekend.... can you believe it.... it just didn't seem like a "photo op" weekend at all!!!!

Oh Mindy! You poor thing! All this and Brent gone too. How hard. At the very least you have your family close by. What a blessing. I hope Raegan is ok. I'll be sending good thoughts her way!! E-mail me with everything else.
