same song, second verse

I got a phone call on my cell this morning around 0730

its my mom's work calling to see if she okay

first of all - how the fuck did they get my CELL number!!!????

second of all - ¿zoink?

they left messages last night and she didn't show this morning.

*terror rips through me*

call parent's home --> no answer
call parent's cell --> no answer
call sister's home --> no answer
call sister's cell --> no answer

*panic*

call grandmother's home --> answer, they are all down at Fort Hood
in Darnell Army Hospital

fuck

call bro-inlaw's cell --> answer, sister went into pre-labor (like last kiddo)

she's got low BP and contracting like a fish on a hot Texas blacktop

on MgSO₂ drip to stop the contractions

alarmed and relieved at the same time as we have done this before...

*cheerleader pose* "Team Shannan, GO!"

------------

went to the bank, drafted a check (or cheque for you weirdos)

stopped by the grocery store, $44(USD) later *cha-ching!*

came home (again) made grilled cheese sammich

chatted with a couple of toothsome guys online (you know who you are E and H *wink*)

-----------

Oh and BTW, admitted 8 patients to ICU last night

I am ready to crash and burn baybee

*flops on bed nekkied*
