Bump on the head and new job-

So this week started off with a bang! Sunday Dave was carrying a big t.v. down the stairs on his shoulder, slipped, fell and the t.v. (about 100 pounds) flew up and came down on his head. He had an obvious concussion (slept almost all day and was a bit loopy) After a LOT of coaxing he went to the ER and got a CT of his head and it was okay! PHEW!  I was really worried about him! He has had bad swelling on his head/face all week and a major headache-OUCH! I started my job on Monday~It was a long week. It will definitely take some getting used to. Without expounding too much, (because it wouldn't be good) I will just say this- I love and miss my kids. They were AWESOME this week!  I came home everyday to a spotless house~ they worked so hard to make it easier on me.  THANK YOU!!! 
KID UPDATE:  Matt - off crutches,  studying for AP tests, finishing his dresser in wood shop, having 2 non-member friends over for GC Sunday, asked his date to Prom, and can DRIVE again! Yea!  Lindsey- finished her sewing project- a VERY cute purse, passed off KNOWLEDGE value in PP, is playing volleyball in YW and babysitting up a storm! Katie- read 3 huge books in the past 2 weeks, "Redwall" "Ghosts in the Graveyard" and "Peter and the Shadow Thieves" she is such a little reader!  She is always found curled up on the couch or in her room reading! Love it!!  Ellie - doing awesome in math!  She aces her math test every week!  Maybe she will be our "math" girl! She bought walkie talkies with her OWN money this week and is LOVING them... 
Looking forward to Conference this weekend, some time with the family and Spring Break!

Hope Dave's battle wound from the TV is doing better. I'm glad he didn't suffer worse injuries. And congrats on the new job! Hope things are going well with it.

We miss you guys. Maybe we can get together one day this week since the kids are out of school.

Crazy--Dave, I am glad you listened to Leslie--and especially glad you are good--hopefully it is feeling better! Les, you're a champ. Those ladies are so lucky to have you as their nurse. Your kids are the best, always up to something amazing! It is fun to get the low down. We miss you guys! p.s. Lindsey --we have your pillow, it is waiting to be sent--hopefully in the next couple of days! So sorry!

Ouch! That sounds like something I would do. Matt always laughs at how many times I've been to the ER.
