McComb Family

Yesterday I officially found out that I will definitely have a job next year. My layoff notice has been rescinded, which means I won't have to go to the hearing Monday. Yea!!! Not that I know what I will be teaching though -- they could put me anywhere. It looks like there will be a position in science (if they keep it as that), 5th grade, and 6th grade. I'm sure people with more seniority than me will be looking to bump me from my spot, so we'll see how things shake out. Should be interesting. Hopefully I'll know before August what I will be teaching!!!

Came home to celebrate, had some friends over for dinner, and Adam ended up not feeling well. His hernia was really bothering him and quite painful. Then he started throwing up. He'd start to fall asleep, and I'd think if was going to go back in because he was relaxed -- then he'd wake up crying and throwing up again. Poor little guy. Finally called the advice nurse and she said bring him into the ER. So I took off with Adam while Bret stayed and played host!! : ) Any excuse he can find to avoid any health/medical problem!!! We got about halfway down the canyon and came upon a car accident. A guy who supposedly was drunk hit the side of the mountain, spun his truck and hit the guard rail head on breaking his axle in the process. People were stopped and out of their cars, and I guess he was belligerent and really giving people a bad time. I finally got some guys to help me get through -- they escorted me through past the crazy guy, going off-road and over rocks he had loosened when he hit the side of the hill. Luckily my car is skinny and fit through between his truck and the hill, but who knew it was an off-road vehicle as well!?! He he!! I must have passed at least 30 cars who were blocked because of him! Once I got through that we were on our way, and then he threw up in the car. It was such a wonderful evening!!! Got to the ER, they checked him in -- little thing was still in agony and throwing up. He finally feel asleep after midnight and sometime between then and about 1 a.m. when we saw the doctor his hernia had self-reduced. They gave him some crackers and juice to make sure he could keep it down and released him about 1:30. Ended up getting home about 2:15. Fun, fun, fun!!! Glad they bumped his surgery date up, but it's not soon enough for me. Let's hope we make it to the 28th without anymore ER trips!!!
