I’m sorry, guys. I hate to do this, seriously, but there’ll be no schedule this week. My sister-in-law was in a very bad car accident on Friday evening and broke her neck at the top and bottom and broke one place in her back. So Scott (my husband) drove my mother-in-law back to Des Moines (she had driven down for Thanksgiving) about 30 minutes after we got notice. I’ve been trying to do laundry, pack, etc, because he’s going to come home tonight to get me and we’re going back up there. She’ll be having surgery on Monday morning to stablize her back, since that’s the one they’re most worried about. The bones there at that break basically disintegrated. She can still move her extremities, which is a miracle, it sounds like, but it’s still VERY touch and go.
I’m going to put together the no-schedule schedule, but again, I’m so sorry I can’t do the full schedule!
~ Jenny
