Beyond Tired

Kate got the bug Saturday night. She was at Shawne's house, with several friends. I heard what sounded like someone running about 3:30 a.m. I sat up and called to Brendan, but it wasn't him. It was her, knocking on the door! She had started throwing up, and Pieper (her friend's mom) had to bring her home. Thankfully, her bout with this bug was quite short lived. By evening, she was bored and begging me to play a game with her.

I was SO tired and crabby. (As Kaitlyn said, once, "Dang! Mom is in a MOOD!") But Dad came and got the boys yesterday afternoon to take them swimming, freeing me up to work on my poetry class for two solid hours and thus restoring my sanity. (Thank you, Dad!)

I fell asleep in the car today. I had driven Mark in to McMinnville to do some work at the church. Then I drove to Newberg to pay the rent, etc. Then I drove back to Mac to pick up Mark. I had to pull into the movie theater parking lot though. I just couldn't keep my eyes open! Bren was asleep in his carseat, and I curled up in the driver's seat and slept for nearly a half hour. As Brendan told his sister later, "We went to the movies to have a nap!"

Tonight ... Mark is back at OHSU. I took him in about 7:30 this evening. He was having pain in his chest and down his arm, just like before. His EKG was somewhat abnormal, so about 10:30, they decided to transfer him. He's stable though and seems in decent spirits. I will (hopefully) know more tomorrow.
