Bits of this and that

Vanessa caught a nasty gastro virus Wednesday. She had to be admitted to the hospital 5 am Thursday morning. She had to be on an IV because of dehydration. She and the baby are doing just fine now after being released Friday afternoon. She has put us through our paces this week!

David raced for the first time this year last night. We drove up to Fasttrax Speedway in Chatham, about 1 1/2 hours north of here. He won his heat and finished 6th in the feature event. We were very excited with the night. He and Buck finished replacing his clutch Thursday night. We weren't sure if the car would even hook up right with the new size tires his class has to use. We really needed the hot laps to check the setup

.

Brayden did very well. He carried his stubby wrench with him everywhere he went last night. It makes a very good teething tool. Who knew Craftsman makes teething wrenches? We kept earplugs in his ears anytime he was out of the truck. He liked riding in the car with his daddy while packing the track.

David gave him back to Buck when he realized Brayden was eating clods of mud. He was one grubby little boy when he got home this morning. We got home about 1 am which is actually about 2 hours early.

I was up and out by 7 am this morning for a Sunday School Leadership conference. The most memorable soundbite- "If God is your partner, plan big."

I was home by 12:30, ate 2 breadsticks, and hit the sack. I slept until Buck woke me up about 4:30. WOW!! I slept without meds! Fibromyalgia causes insomnia, and makes it necessary for me to take Ambien to sleep at night. I plan to eat supper, go to Daddy's to give him his meds, and hit the sack again.
