Tonsils and Adenoids!

So I haven't updated in a long time...I got my tonsils and adenoids out and it was death! Probably the worst experience of my life! It hurt like mad for 8 days, which isn't that long but it seemed like eternity. Sunday was the worst day by far! I woke up at one or two am and my throat hurt so incredibly bad! I called my mom (I had to take medicine every four hours, during the night also. so i had my mom take her phone to bed with her and when it was time I would call her! worked pretty good!) and she came down to give me my medicine. I had to eat something before taking the medicine but it hurt so bad I didn't want to take my medicine. I thought I was going to die. I was crying and my mom was just sitting there hugging me! I finally ate something and took my med. but it still hurt and I wouldn't stop crying. I told my mom to go get dad to give me a blessing so that I would be able to sleep and so the pain would calm down a bit. He couldn't give me a blessing for the sick since there weren't two people but he gave me a father's blessing. My mom stayed with me for a while until i calmed down and then she went back to bed and I was able to go to sleep. In the morning I we had someone from the ward come over and help give me a blessing. I'm so grateful that my dad hold's the priesthood and i was able to sleep and not feel so much pain!
Getting my tonsils out was probably the worst experience of my life and the worst pain i have ever felt. I will never be able to describe the pain! I've decided that since it is easier on kids I'm going to get all my kids tonsils out just in case there is a problem later on because I don't want them to endure the pain I had! Anyway...That is the tonsil story! It was awful basically! I'm doing a lot better now. I still can't eat solid food unless it is very soft or easy to mush up...like ramen noodles and pancakes! But I cannot wait to eat real food it has been almost 10 days since I have eaten something real!
Oh and my advice to you is if there is any sign of your kids having bad tonsils..sore throats all the time, strep, whatever just get them out now so they won't remember the pain and it will be easier on them!!! :D

Tuna Noodle Casserole! YUM!

Before

So I was talking to Lila the other day and she ask me how things were going now that Levi is gone and I told her it was awful that I missed him so much and that I'm always bored and have nothing to do. She told me to make dinner for the family before they all got home from work but I didn't know what to make and she told me to make tuna noodle casserole. She told me how to make it over the phone and then i made it. I think everyone liked it. I sure did! It was real good!

After

Holiday Happiness! NERT!

So I decided I should do a different update..Like something besides Manic Monday so here goes...This year for Christmas we had almost everyone home. The only people who weren't here were Joe and Melissa. So we did pretty good. When Cody came into town I got to spend a day with him! We went to get christmas shopping and had breakfast. It was a so much fun to hang out with him! Normally on Christmas eve we go caroling but this year we didn't for some reason...we stayed home and watched the christmas story, I had never seen it before and i really liked it. Oh and Carter came home on Christmas eve and that is when we watched the christmas story. anyway moving on...we also normally stay up all hours of the night to play games but we didn't do that either...Christmas morning we got up and opened our presents. I got a bunch of clothes from DI, a sign to hang in my room that says "Princess daughter of a Heavenly King", the movies stardust and no reservations, a couple CD's, a shirt and set of earrings from levi, a shirt from carter, a BSU hoodie from cody, and my favorite present...a book of all of my siblings testimonies. I cried through the whole book! It was the best present ever! Then after all the presents were opened we went to Micah and Cori's house to have waffles with strawberries on top with everyone! Then we went over to Grandma Russell's house. She didn't know it was christmas and I had to tell her to open her presents. After that, Carter, Logan, Levi and I went to Benjamin Button. It was pretty good but I wouldn't recommend it just because it is 3 hours long and I got distracted during the movie because it was so slow. It was interesting and pretty cool but you can wait until it is in the dollar theater! The rest of my break was a lot of fun...I won't go into a lot of detail because this is getting rather long. I will tell you that for Cali's birthday (dec. 31) we went sledding at her uncles

sledding mountain place. You get a tube and then a rope pulls you up a mountain. Then you choose from 6 lanes to go down and it is a lot of fun. We were there for two hours and then we went and had lunch in a church parking lot and then went to Cali's house and played games and then we went to red robin. then came back to cali's house and waited until 11:59 so we could start counting down to the end of Cali's birthday! haha! So my break was a lot of fun. Now I am just preparing for finals coming up next week and then it will be a new semester!! Oh i forgot to mention one thing. I went to the doctor and i have to get my tonsils and adenoids out on the 3rd of feb. that will be exciting......
