Hey..blogger's working..

Silly Blogger has been acting up the past few days... I took it as a sign from the Gods that I had "nothing" worth reading or something... ~lol
So now it's Thurs & I'm back to work... Things at home have been crazy busy with kids...

Is June insane in everyone else's world too??

We had a bit of a scary event the other day...Jess cut herself with a recently sharpened boning knife while trying to make her & her brother bagels for breakfast...
I came downstairs to her sitting on the window seat holding her hand in a napkin.. She'd had the presence of mind to wash it & them was sitting bec some months back her best friend has almost passed out when she saw the blood from a cut finger doing an apple . So full points for being smart there.
I took a look at it & from the shape & direction of the cut I didn't want to muck with it too much cause it looked DEEP...
Jess said it didn't hurt too much so two sturdy elastoplasts later there was no bleeding & I took her to school hoping I was wrong & that it would be fine & not need stitches...

..Well Lunchtime came & so did the phone call dragging Mommy out of the grocery store & back to pick her up from school bec it had started bleeding againg & had bled through both thick bandages I had put on & 2 more that they had tried to put OVER those at the school.
Apparently she had listened very well to me saying "DON"T under any circumstances take these off today.." ~lol
I was hoping that the pressure of them would be enough to hold things long enough for the body to start healing.

So off to the clinic where they had to put in 2 stitches.. She was SO brave & didn't even cry out when they were putting in the freezing .. Even when he had to put it in both sides of the finger since there is a secondary nerve that crosses the fingertip..
My poor baby girl.. She just gripped my hand & looked up into my eyes ...
This was definitely one of those moments I wish I could just "take" it for her... Who knew Mommy would be the one shaking.. akkkk I'm such a wimp!

I don't know what I'm gonna do when she gets around to having babies... *sigh*

That would have to have been pretty deep (shouldn't it have clotted way before then?) or she opened it up again???

Pam, you really want to take it for her????? You have a uterus, no reason why you can't carry her babies to term, spare the little darling of her trauma - she'll be so grateful! A mother can never do too much.

Poor kiddo! I've never had stitches, nor have my kids, yet....

Hey, if you have any birthday ideas, I'd love some input. Instead of clogging up blogger, you can email me at DBoudreau@whitmanbingham.com. If you're too busy don't worry about it.

Oh poor muffin! My heart breaks when my daughter has to endure something like that. When she had her teeth worked on, I had to leave the room when they gave her the needles. She was so brave though!!
My daughter is going through grade 8 grad which is now the equivalent of grade 12 prom and the school is sucking money out of me left, right and centre!! Good gracious! Busy indeed!!
