A Day In The Life - 01/29/2011: An Eventful Day . . . For Jessica

So here is the situation: Paul is in the Army and Jessica and the kids are supposed to move today. Paul fell a couple of days back and sprained one foot and got a stress fracture in the other. And then this morning Jessica calls early, first thing, and needs to be taken to the hospital.
After Gaye shuttles Jess to the hospital and brings the kids home, she and I go and pick up the U-Haul rental truck and head over to the apartment. Kyle and Jennie and Quentin show up to help. Then Jess' cousins show up to help and they are amazing in getting almost all of the big things down and into the truck. But the truck is not nearly big enough to hold everything that they have and so we load until it is mostly full. Then it is off to visit Jess in the hospital and see if she knows anything yet about what put her there. Then we are off to get the kids (and me) something to eat. Shortly after we get home and food stuffed into us we get a call from Jess that she is free at last. She has a kidney stone that is 6 mm and ovarian cysts. Wow!
The plan is now to take the truck down to Tucson tomorrow and unload it and turn it in. On Monday I will work early while Jess packs up some more stuff and we will get the trailer and haul another load down. And again on Tuesday, if needed. Then Gaye and I head out of town. So the next few days are going to be a bit more than busy, I think.
Oh, yes! Did I mention that tomorrow is ward conference as well and that I should be at all of those meetings I will be missing? Family sure is worth all of this excitement.
