So my Christmas started great but hectic......The day I have finals is the day my daughter decides she wants to become part of our world....December 17, 2009....Besides the fact that it was the same day I had to be in school things were fine.
The hospital we went to was great but the person helping with delivery was less then desired. We went to the hospital at 7pm and my daughter was born at 1015 in the morning....prior to going to the hospital I emailed my professor that I was headed to the hospital and that I needed and extension to come in on my own time and take my final.
Around 12pm that day I checked my email to see if my professor had responded and when I did....she did not grant me and extension....Now I know for a Fact that ALL student have until Sunday that week to finish up all finals...so I was pissed.
I had to leave my wife and newborn at the hospital and go to school to do my final. I have class between 10-2....so I rolled up around 1:15 McDonalds in hand and pissed as hell.
Next day:
In the wake of a coming snow storm I returned to school to finish up my finals. I went off to school and I arrive to find that all the faculty is in a meeting and are not able to unlock my final. I was told to return in an hour and a half.....So off to the Portal...(a gaming room provided for the student.....best thing ever)
I return to the academics department.....only to be told that now all the Deans were in another meeting and ii have to return in another hour....mind you my wife and newborn are still at the hospital waiting for me to return.
An hour later I speak with the Dean. He then delivers some most needed good news. I don't have to retake my final and am able to return to my life.
This night we get 26 inches of snow breaking any other record of snowfall in 150 years.....knee high snow to shovel. Yay......thanks Nuguistic for your help bro.
2 days later:
My wife is hang complications that carry on for 2 days and finally her fever shoots up to 104. So off to the Hospital we go at 6 am I have not slept in 48 hours....that same day I have to take both my children to the doctors for check ups and shots.....I have to fill out paperwork and I can't even remember my birthday which just passed 10 days prior.
Christmas eve:
I start feeling like things are gonna finally calm down. My wife and I decide to stay up and play Santa for my 4 year old. We wrap gifts. Spoiler alert ......Eat cookies and drink the juice box my son leaves out for Santa......sorry there is no Santa...it has always been your Mom and Dad.
My wife finally goes to bed and leaves me to wrap her gifts. At 12pm Christmas Day....I hear my neighbor screaming like Jason was trying to kill her. I hear FIRE FIRE....holy Fuck......I grab my daughter, wake my wife, grab the fire extinguisher and we run downstairs......my neighbors boyfriend is ringing my doorbell like he's playing Street Fighter 2 Turbo when doing the bonus car distroy.
I hand him my fire extinguisher and he looks at me like HUH......I said to him GO....GO!!. It finally hits him to run back down to his place and put out the fire...I pack my family in the car and run back a few more times just to grab my cats. I grab my HDD....I can't find my black cat......I run to my room and with all the Adrenaline pumping I pick up my entire King size bed and flip it looking for my cat......I can't find her and I'm starting to worry, and I'm sucking in thick black smoke. I grab my laptops...leave the house get my air back....on the next run I find my cat grab her run to my car throw her in jump in my car and back the car out of the drive way into my neighbors.
Today:
There is no damage to my things the firemen cleared my house of smoke before it settled but the Heat system in the house is what sent all the smoke around the whole building and it still smells. We have been living in my mother in laws house the last few days and we hate it cuz we want to be home resting after having a baby.
We are happy that no one was hurt and I think it has brought us and our neighbors together.....a Christmas Miracle of sorts but Dammit I want to be home playing with my son and daughter and letting my wife get some most needed rest.
