Well I guess I should update and let everyone know how life is going. The Radio-Active Iodine(RAI) was given to me on Tuesday Nov 11th and I stayed in my mom's basement bedroom for 6 long days & 5 long nights. Some would think that alone time would be nice and fun, but I'm kind of a needy person (at least I can admit it) and like to have my husband around and I totally missed my kids. Travis came and saw me Tuesday-Thursday after work. He had to stay 7 ft away from me. Then he went and got the kids on Friday night and I didn't get to see him or the kids until I finally came home late Sunday night. You learn a lot of things about yourself when you can't really be around anyone else. I must say I got very good at coloring, I decided I don't really like crossword puzzles, watched all the sappy chick flicks I could handle, read many magazines/books, and prayed alot. I know that I grew as a person during that week and have tried to apply some of the lessons

Well since I wasn't home this weekend to celebrate Parker's Birthday I thought it would be fun to reminisce about when Parker was born. November 14th 2002 started much like every other day. I was 3 days overdue and so wanted this to be the day that I would have my baby. I had a midweek RS activity at the church that day and went and didn't stop all day. Someones kid would spill and I was the one to hurry and clean it up. I got home that afternoon around 1 or 2 pm & thought I was exhausted so I would lay down for a nap. After about 20 minutes I realized I wasn't going to sleep and got up. I got online paid all the bills that were due later that month, went to the store to buy last minute things & got home around 5:30 when Travis came home. I was exhausted & hungry. Travis decided we should go get some dinner. I went in to go to the bathroom before we were gonna leave. I was walking back from the bathroom when my water broke in the hallway of our apartment at

Well I guess I should update what is going on. I will be going in for a dose of Radio-Active Iodine tomorrow afternoon. Then I will have to stay in isolation (my mom's basement) for 1 week. That is going to be the toughest part. I have to stay 6-10 ft away from people for 5-7 days. My kids will be going up to Pocatello to stay with Travis's Brother Robert & his family. Anyways I am so behind on posting and I will catch up someday.
