Well as I had mentioned in my last post, Bill and Tanner went to Boulder Nevada for a downhill Mountain biking camp. They left right after we ate Thanksgiving dinner as they had a 8 hour drive to get there. The trip was problem free and the weather was good so that made me happy! Now at home it's just me and Landon....or really should I say just ME! Landon is always gone with friends and that's how it's suppose to be and to be honest...I was looking forward to a little time alone! Don't get me wrong it feels really funny when all the boys are gone and I do MISS them like crazy! But I really enjoy being able to do exactly what a want....when I want! I did however have to work Friday after Thanksgiving and not only that but I was on the night shift...Haha! its what we are calling the extended duty shift. I worked 10:00 to 7:00 it was a slow day, after all everyone is out doing the Black Friday Shopping! I came home fixed me a quick bite to eat and change into my comfy clothes and head to the couch where I find me a cute Christmas show to watch, where I eventually doze off into a blissful sleep.
Tanner's camp was from Friday to Sunday. It was a camp to teach techniques for downhill racing, the instructor is a pro biker named Gene Hamilton. The camp name was "Better Ride" Tanner has been saying for months that he wanted to go to this camp...Then one day he said he wanted it to be his Christmas present....I was not really up with this idea, after all how boring on Christmas morning! I hate my boys growing up and having all these changes...I miss the little guys!!! but Tanner insisted that this gift would be "A Gift That Will Keep Giving" for the rest of his life! This camp was not a cheap camp....I basically had to sell my right arm and leg to pay for it, so hopefully come Christmas morning he will remember how much fun he had and that he remembers all he learned... I will have to ask on Christmas if he would do it again?
Bill and Tanner did not get home until Monday morning around 1:00am and they went right to bed both had to get up and go to school and work. When I woke Tanner up that morning he was pretty grumpy nothing was going right, couldn't find the car keys, backpack and the windows on his car was frosted over and he had a test to take before school started....school starts at 7:55 and by 7:45 he had text me saying the test was a piece of cake! but he didn't feel very good..I told him to get to class! the next thing he is calling be back it was 8:10 he said "Mom I can't do this my eyes are killing me and I just don't feel good, please check me out" Tanner is not usually a bluffer nor does he try to get out of going to school so I check him out and tell him to go home and go to sleep....NO video games, he informs me he couldn't play if he wanted to. I call and check on him around 10:30...no answer so I wait another hour and call again, I wake him this time and I ask him how is doing and does he need to go to the doctor? No he says I will be fine! at 1;15 I get a text "Need Doctor" Tanner has always been right on when he says this so I call and get him in. they want him there in 10 Min's. I can't get home and to the doctors that fast so I just send Tanner, I had to fax over a consent to treat letter and when he is in seeing the doctor the doctor calls me to say that Tanner is really sick and he is not sure what is wrong, his eyes look like pink eye but with the other symptoms, nausea, tired, just not feeling good he is not sure that it's just pink eye but he gives him the drops and tells me to bring him back if there is no change in two days. on Wednesday there is NO change and he has now missed 3 days of school. I take him back and the Dr's are sure that it's pink eye but caused by the flu, the only doctor that can give him the correct drops (steroids) is an eye doctor so they call Dr. Turner who gets us right in and was able to give us a sample bottle and we are off! (really not that quickly, we were at the Dr's 2 hours) and I take Tanner back home and I rush back to work. He was able to go back to school the next day and back on the mend! That kid gets sick every time this time of year! Glad he is on the Mend.....
Stay tuned Friday is a BIG Day for a member of the Hart family!
