Long Week

We had a rough week last week. Soren broke my cell phone earlier in the week by slobbering all over it so now I can't use it and have not figured out how to check my messages, So mom if I have missed a call or two I promise I am not ignoring you I am just too dumb to figure out voicemail. We have had a hard time finding a permanent babysitter so Kimi watched the kids for us on Wednesday even though her family was sick, Thank you Kimi!!! We had Amanda take them on Thursday, I felt bad because she has a baby too and she is 7 months preggers so I knew it would be hard on her. I called to check on them on my second break and they were doing good. When I got off at 7:00 I called Ray to make sure he had them picked up, he said he was on his way and asked where I was, I told him I was just leaving work, then he told me that Roby had been in an accident and may have had Ryan with him, I got pretty upset and ran out to my car. I was out of gas so I went to Ryan and Suzan's because they are super close, when I got there Ray still didn't know if it was Ryan, I was confused "Why don't we just call Amanda?" so I did, no answer(Roby had the cell phone with him and the battery was knocked loose during the accident). I call Ray back and ask why we think Ryan was with him, apparently his mom talked to one of the witnesses whose phone Roby had borrowed, he told her that a little girl, 7 or 8 years old, was pulled from the vehicle and laid on the grass and that she was bleeding from the mouth. Now I am even more upset and frustrated that we don't know if it was Ryan yet. Finally Ray gets to Amanda's and finds out that it is Brynleigh not Ryan. Now I am relieved for Ryan but worried about Bryn. We finally hear from Ryan(Ray's dad), both of them are fine and they are on their way back, the jeep and both of the other cars involved were totalled. Luckily no one was seriously injured. As if that was not enough for one week, on Friday when Raymond drove his Uncle Tim home from watching our kids he gets pulled over for expired plates (they had just barely expired on the 31st of Oct.) The officer informs Ray that he has a warrant and is driving on a suspended license, Raymond asks why and the cop tells him it is due to failure to prove our fix-it ticket earlier this year. We were cited for a broken headlight and given 14 days to fix it, which we did however, we never drove out to prove that it was fixed so they issued a warrant and suspended his license. West Jordan never ceases to amaze me with what they consider to be criminal acts (if you don't mow your lawn it is a misdemeanor). I am finding myself more and more agreeing with my father-in-law, It is a Conspiracy. Anyway now Raymond is not allowed to drive until we get all of this taken care of. Sometimes it feels like you just can't win. Luckily (or not, since it is due to the economy) I have this week off so I don't have to worry about babysitters. Anyway it is almost Thanksgiving and regardless of everything else I have a lot to be grateful for, So I guess I will just stop whining and count my many blessings.
