Today we were a bit late for school. We pulled up and all of Hunter's class was still lined up at the door. Oh, good. You aren't late! I said. But there is a note on the door. Maybe it is from your teacher...
No, mom. That's my note. I drew it. It has claw marks on it and it says PORTAL TO INSANITY. My teacher says if I do another one and color it, she will give me 15 extra points on my spelling packet.
I don't think that has anything to do with spelling, I foolishly said.
Yes, it does! I had to spell PORTAL-TO-INSANITY.

Jeff and his Amazing Adventure with Knock-Out Drugs!
Jeff's family has been doing the rounds for colonoscopies. Jeff got insurance and lined up a "check it out" date for December 28.
Anyway, I sat next to him as he was coming out of the anesthesia...if you know Jeff at all, you know he talks about EVERYTHING!
I grabbed my notepad and started scribbling away...
He reminded me about Maddie just having an upper scope and she was put out. When she came to, she was telling him LOTS of things...rule number one: NEVER tell Dad anything...
So, Jeff was telling me about Maddie and how she told him who she liked. I asked him who he liked and he said, "My list is in my wallet."
REALLY
He told me he had a secret Swiss Bank Account with $700,000 in it. I asked him what is the account #. "5-niner-pi-infinity."
NINER
He asked me if the doctor found anything. I said nope. You are as clean as a whistle. "They didn't find the legos I lost as a boy?"
Later, he asked me the same thing. I said they didn't find anything. "What did they do? Go to my brain cavity?"
BRAIN CAVITY
I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.
The girls thought I made this whole thing up...Seriously, have you ever heard me say "brain cavity" OR "niner"? Have you? I rest my case.
Jeff's tests came back great. Nothing to worry about there.
He told me later (having NO recollection of any of our conversation) to check in his wallet for his list...
1. subway card
2. autozone card
3. quizno's card
4. blood donor card
5. Famous Dave's gift card
6. family emergency evacuation card
7. temple recommend
8. movie punch pass
I think he may have wanted pictures of his family for his wallet...Maybe that's what I will get him for Valentine's Day!

A December Do-Over...
Seriously, I can't believe it is January. I didn't get to enjoy my December and Christmas and school break the way I had in the past. Let me 'splain...
1. Maddie was still sick and we spent at least one day a week in the doctor's office and I DO MEAN a whole day...
2. I tried to do catch up on the other days of the week for work, Primary, the house, Meg and Hunter, Jeff...
3. Meg finally got tired of waiting and put up Christmas sometime around the middle of the month (with a miniscule amount of help from Mad & Bud)...
4. Spent one day on the phone calling surgeons to see if they could help us over Christmas Break...they only wanted to see her and charge another office visit and then do surgery in January...
5. Spent one morning on the phone with the insurance company filing complaints against the 2 doctors that were "helping" Mad by putting her surgery out until January...
6. Happy note: the insurance lady called her own surgeon and got us an appointment for the next morning...the 23rd of December...and had us penciled in for surgery on Christmas Eve...
7. The insurance lady even came to the hospital to visit us on surgery day... :0
8. I hurried to finish shopping and wrapping on the 22nd...
9. Jeff had a wonderful little procedure done on December 28 which leads me to another story I will post next...
10. Meg started her next show "The Fantasticks" on New Year's Eve...(rehearsals almost every night in December...)
11. Mad is recovering very nicely. She went back to school this week and did NOT miss one single day!
12. I tried to get all of Primary ready for the new year with new classes, teachers, rooms, schedules...there are more than 100 kids and more than 35 teachers...the first activity of the year was on Jan 2 and we thought it went well...most of the kids came and most of the teachers came...we kept it just about an hour...I couldn't have done it without my awesome counselors...
13. I called to cancel Mad's surgery that was supposed to be on the 7th of January and the person asked if I wanted to reschedule...I laughed and hung up...
I did have a wonderful day on Christmas. We had a little Christmas that morning and then made our annual family breakfast...breakfast quiche, juice and fruit...the Moores came up and then we spent the afternoon with Moores and Godwins and the Andersons were even able to come down. I love to be with our families and I guess I don't really need a Christmas day do-over...I look forward to next year and no one being sick!
