The Night Shift

Those of you who work night shifts can really feel my son's pain. I only work a couple a month, but Austin works 5 nights a week at Home Depot. He also coaches Daniels team. Saturday's are especially hard on him after a week of nights and then trying to stay up for the game. Before the game he stopped by to say HI and when I went out to the living room, this is what I saw.

I hurt for him. I hate that really sleepy feeling you get after night shifts. I didn't feel too bad because before we left the house to go shopping SOMEONE wrote "Go Oly" in permanent marker on his head.

Football Fun

Every year my parents try to make it to at least one football game of each grandchild. They have lots of grand kids and so making it to every event is impossible. This was Daniels week. My parents drove up to Park City to check out Daniels skills!

My mom came prepared with many blankets and her winter coat. The weather was cool and sunny and wonderful. Unfortunately, this is what they saw of Daniel.

On the beginning kick off he was hit and fell onto his wrist in a very bad way. He looks white huh? Well, he almost passed out and then it took about an hour before he didn't feel like he was going to puke and started to get color back. Very painful injury indeed.

Here he is after we finally took his stuff off and his dad (aka Head Coach) gave him his sunglasses.

We gave him some Gatorade and I kept track of his neuro status, which is a fancy med-speak way of saying I asked him every once in a while how he was feeling. Lots of parents were concerned and he ended up with plenty of blankets and lots of advice. Finally he decided he could sit up, right around half time.

He wanted to stay and support his teammates, which did an excellent job even without their tallest man on the line. Olympus won by about 3 touch downs. It was one of the best playing I had seen them do. Props to the great coaches, especially Daniels dad, Bill and his brother, Austin. After the game we headed to St. Marks (the U's ER was busy) and had it XRay'd.

The swollen arm.

Thumbs up for quick service at St. Marks!!
Not a fracture, just a bad sprain. Of course we will have it checked out if they are wrong and it's still swollen in about 3-5 days.
The good news is, we scored this sweet arm brace in dark blue AND he may be able to play next Saturday!! If they win next Saturday, it's off to the playoffs.

GO OLY!!

Who is the leader of the pack?

Ted, Zoe, Matt and Chili

Heaven in a box

In search of more room in my small closet for Matt, I bought these hangers to try them out.

Oh they are heaven!! Shirts don't slip, sweaters don't fall and camisoles (yes I hang up all my camisoles) stay put!! YEAHHH!! So we went back to Bed, Bath and Beyond, loaded with all the 20% off coupons from 3 different residences and bought a total of 4 boxes. There is 50 in a box and they are 39.99 a box, around 30.00 if you have the coupon. Love em...Have to recommend them.




I took the pic with my cell phone, but if you look closely, you see a well organized closet with lots of well placed clothes.

Now I just need new a bigger closet, new closet doors and a room for my shoes!

Sex in the City

Friday night I watched the movie "Sex in the City". Can I tell you how excited I was to see so much of New York in the movie??? I had NO idea that they would show so much of the Library that I loved so much. It would be great to get married there. Sweet idea!!




Although not the most flattering pic of me (I do love the scarf!), remember the lights in the movie?? I ponder; How did they film in the Library, when taking flash pictures was forbidden???
Hmmmm
