Bullet Points...


(A quick candid shot... Kiley looks a little shocked)

Here is the sweet and skinny of today (I'm just too tired tonight... more to come)


  • Abby ran, tripped, dove headfirst into a dresser at 12pm. 
  • Ate lunch with my mom and sister while waiting for appointment; mom later got sick from food (ugh)
  • 1pm: In pediatrician office getting the gash above her left eye glued 
  • 2pm-4pm Abby naps while I take care of a fussy Kara and paint the bathroom (why I feel like I need more projects I'll never know)
  • 5pm: While running around outside I hear Abby say "Ow mommy! ow!" I set Kara down and see that Abby has pulled off the glue/steri-strip that the pediatrician put on. Of course it's after 5.
  • I call the 'on call nurse' she says to bring Abby into the ER since the gash is over her left eye. 
  • I wait for Tom to get home from work while trying to keep Abby from going nuts (just crazy tonight really)
  • 8pm we get to the ER. The doctor consults with 2 other doctors about what to do with Abby's cut. They collectively decide that it would be better to leave it alone because the way she is picking at the area they feel she will just tear the stitch out and make it worse. Did I mention the doctor recognized me from before? Yeeeeeep. That's not a good sign. She did check Abby's lip to see how that was healing and we chatted about 'the joys of being a mom.' The nurse also gave me pointers on how to take permanent marker off of the walls. (Must have been a slow night) Abby impressed them with her vocabulary and they sent me home with instructions on how to care for it.... again. 
  • 9pm, Put Kara to bed, Tom ate supper and I proceeded to work on painting the rest of the bathroom.
  • It's 11:37pm... there is still trim work left to do in the bathroom... along with putting everything else back. Kiley is asleep in my arms (she slept a lot today) and Tom is telling me it is time for bed (something I agree with whole heartedly)

    May Tonight bring great sleep... and Tomorrow a quieter day....

I thought about the child service aspect when you posted on FB. ;) It stinks that parents of error-prone children have to think that way in today's world. I know a person who took a lot of grief for a child with nursemaid's elbow.

Hope Abby is feeling better soon! Post pics of your bathroom project.

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
