This Week Has Been a Doozy!

This week has been a week of all weeks! I don't even know where to start!

Here we go:
Monday:
First of my father in law went in for a cardiac cath and they won't let him go home afterwards as it is found that he needs triple bypass surgery!

Tuesday: It is my mother in law's birthday and with her hubby in the hospital, it's not a good day for celebration.

Wednesday: Father in law still in the hospital...

Thursday: It's my birthday, father in law has his surgery (which felt like it took forever, but went very well), went out to try and get some of the Christmas shopping finished with no success.

Friday: Very hectic day at work, trying to train a new nurse, dealing with the Dept of Health, it is colder than all get out. It then starts to snow and it is a beautiful drive home until I get into our town. It is pouring cold, cold, cold rain. It always seems like the snow wants to avoid our particular area and then snow inches to feet so nearby.

Saturday: In the morning, still raining. Did some more shopping, but when out with the hubby I flipped out while shopping as he was trying to be helpful and I just didn't see it that way at the moment. I yelled something and followed it by saying "J**** Chr***!" He then tries to be funny and says, "You're not supposed to refer to me in that way in public" with a smirk on his face. NOT FUNNY...I finally cool down and get back to shopping. Go and visit father in law later and while at the hospital it starts snowing big beautiful snow. Ahh, I needed that. The kids were outside, we made hot chocolate and then it all seemed okay.

Proceed to this afternoon: Youngest had a friend sleep over last night and they have been in and out of the house in the snow ALL DAY LONG. My house is trashed! I get a call from MY dad stating that on Friday night they got stuck on the interstate near their home and ended up being stuck for 12+ hours due to the snowstorm!!! Holy heck! My dad is a diabetic and my step-mom has MS. They had no food except some chex mix and some bottled water. So finally at 7am yesterday they were plowed out of their space on the interstate with everyone else and proceed to go home. My folks live in BFE in WV. They couldn't get down their driveway so my dad parks his car on the side of the road as close as he can get and leaves my step mom in the car so he can walk home and get his four wheel drive. He walked a mile and a half home in the blizzard, gets in the truck and gets stuck in his driveway because of the ice/snow. Now he can't get back to my step-mom. So luckily the neighbor could get his four wheeler out and goes to get my step-mom and drives her home. Well, they're at home, but the kicker is, no power=no heat=food going bad in fridge. Nice. And the power company tells him it could be until the 25th before they get close to having power. Pure panic has now set in for me. I can't do anything to help them and I can only pray that they will get out soon and just come down a few days early where I know they're warm and can eat properly. Bad thing is I just checked the weather and more snow is scheduled to come tonight and tomorrow for their area...

So there it is, my hectic week! It has to get better this week!!!
