I give it a 1.......

At AWANA, when the high-school class is starting the bible study time, Mrs. Hoverson (one of the teachers) will often have each person give a number from 1-10 to rate their week. I give my past week a 1. I was going to give it to -1, but I decided it hadn't' been quite that bad. What with getting sick with a cold, have such a sore throat that I was ready to cut my tonsils out with a steak knife, having my grandma, 'Omi' go nuts, and me thinking that she might have had a stroke, and might never be right in the head again, receiving the news that a dear lady from my church had passed on, and breaking the jewel off of my favorite ring that I got from my parents for my sixteenth birthday and losing it, and just now as I was typing this, another one of my best friends family members died, my week pretty much stunk! It was getting better yesterday as Omi was doing much better and they said it wasn't a stroke, just the meds, and my throat was bearable, my cold was pretty much gone, and I was looking forward to AWANA today. But of course it would get worse! I woke up at 2:30 A.M with a ragingly painful throat(the kind where you want to use that stake knife.......or just die!). And since I couldn't sleep in that pain, I moved my pillows out to the couch and got an ice cube to suck on, hoping to ease my pain. Then I went to get my blankets for the couch, and well...........
I was holding my retainer, the flimsy, packaging plastic, retainer that they gave me this time(I've had braces for 4 1/2 years, and already had them off once, and had a different retainer, that was sturdier, but then they but my braces back on. And now I have a stupid flimsy retainer!) Anyways, I was holding my retainer in one hand, cause I had ice in my mouth, and I bent over to pick up my blankets, and apparently squeezed my hand; the hand that was holding the retainer. Only, I didn't realize that part till heard a snapping sound. And then it was too late! My retainer had snapped in two!!!!!!!! Thus my week dropped to a drastically low 1! It's going to cost quite a bit of money to replace this stupid thing, money that I don't have! So much for that birthday money that I was planning to spend. It will be going to the 'retainer fund'. Though ya know, it still works. I mean, I'm wearing it now. All I gotta do is stick two pieces of retainer in my mouth now, instead of one! Simple!
(I know this is exactly what the orthodontist wanted! He gave me a flimsy retainer this time cause he was hoping I'd break it, and thus would have to pay for a new one! See! That was his plan! I know it!)

So anyway, yeah! That was my stupid week!

But at least Omi is on the mend. That at least is a good thing!
And now I'll stop ranting and going on and on about my bad week. Compared to how Abby Rigg's week has been, mine has been awesome. Of course, I still think it stunk, but compared to hers........I'll take it. Poor Abby has had a pretty rough week. Especially when you remember that the little girl is only three! So, pray for her, when you think of it!
