need to watch my mouth

I guess I need to watch my mouth or rather my words. Remember I said I had just an ordinary weekend? Well today was an ordinary day that quickly went down hill. Everything was going fine. The sun was shining, the cats were playing chase, the horses snickered at Brook as she came up the driveway. I am watching her come towards me and I can tell something is wrong. I asked her what is wrong and she brings her hand out of her pocket and I can see that it is swollen. She tells me that a desk fell on her at school. O great. So off to ER we go. Her knuckles are swollen about 3 times their normal size. What a fun time it is sitting in the ER. Just the way I wanted to spend my afternoon. I know that is not how she wanted to spend it. Of course she did not want to spend it cleaning her room either and that was what she was going to be doing! X-rays were taken and the doctor feels very certain that nothing is broken. She does have a lot of inflammation and bruising. You can see where the edge of the desk came down right across her knuckles.

So now we are home, tired and relieved. Her right hand is wrapped up for the next 3 days. She is right handed also. She did her homework with her left hand. Not the best writing in the world, but hey, she is RIGHT handed!

So that was my day.

  7. She sounds so much like my son at that age.  He was always coming home with something that took us to an Emergency Room.  I breathed a huge sigh of relief when he turned 18 whole and hardy!  LOL  Pennie
