Ahh, life is ordinary again...

So, when last i left you we had just experienced a harrowing escapade with our stove and i was hoping for some peace in the gildernew household. Unfortunately that was not to be. Tuesday morning rolled around and i somehow got the stomach bug (which i blame mom for by the way). It was sad. By 7:30 that night i was so dehydrated i knew i wasn't going to be able to wait until wednesday to see a doctor. So i called mom who said go to the hospital or call Greta. Well, i didn't think i could make the ride down the mtn, not to mention i didn't want to drag the girls with me to the emergency room. So i called Greta, who is my second mom, and she called a doctor who goes to our church. Greta's husband Marc went, picked this nice doctor up and brought him over to see me. He proceeded to give me an iv, in the living room, and some medicine they give cancer patients after treatments to get rid of nausea. I don't think i've ever had an iv before. it was pretty cool. Anyway, it helped tremendously to get fluids in my body and stop the nausea for a little while, so i was able to go to sleep and to recover from my illness.
On Wednesday the parents were coming home, so i moved back to my apartment. Then the pipes in the barn burst, so i had no water. Thankfully i have a gracious and wonderful friend named Patty who took me in and i stayed with her for a couple nights.
On Friday our youth group had a huge event. it was much fun, but exhausting because i was still recovering from the sickness.
SO that was my week last week. But now i am back in my apartment, i am completely recovered, and my stove has not yet burst into flames.
As much as i miss the girls i had been staying with, i will say i am kind of enjoying the normalcy of this week (except for the nightmare i had this morning in between hitting snoozes on the alarm clock. it was a doozy!).
