Happy Mother's Day to Me!


What happened you ask? We went to my parents for Mother's Day and my brother's 40th B-day. We had a fabulous dinner, wonderful company, and lots of happy children (14 under the age of 12 to be exact!)...UNTIL... we were rounding up kids to leave for home when Weston comes screaming around the corner with blood gushing down his face - GUSHING! I reacted calmly and told the children all would be well - NOT, I totally freaked out and Landon had to take over! I handed Porter to my Dad, the baby to Bridget and grabbed the cell phone to call Urgent Care. The poor lady on the phone got an ear full when she said they weren't taking any patients for the night and to go to the ER. The ER I said, " Are you gonna pay my $500 co pay for the ER because your doctor won't see anymore patients?" She asked my to hold and then someone else came on and gave me a few other places to try. Poor thing- I totally scared her! I feel bad - sorta... What happened was - Weston and Porter had opened the walk in shower and were playing in there when Porter decided to push Weston out, (at least that what we think happened since neither one can really tell us what happened) well Weston 'landed' right into the corner of the shower door with his forehead and gashed it open!!! Lots of blood. So Landon dropped Weston and me off at Urgent Care and took the rest of the kids home and my parents picked us up and took us home. Thanks Mom and Dad for chauffeuring and entertaining us. The kids were so cute and prayed that Weston would be alright ...and he was - he actually slept through the whole eye's being checked and cleaning and Dermabonding procedure and everything! What a Champ!! The baby was screaming by the time I got home and of course wouldn't take a bottle from Daddy, so we were relieved when everyone was comforted, fed and asleep. What a day. Thanks honey for staying calm in the chaos!

I think mothers with boys should be able to keep dermabond in stock and on full supply. It is much needed at my house too often!

What a scare! I just have to say, you yelling at the Urgent Care lady... it was kind of funny. Is that bad of me? I don't know, but I got a kick out of that. You are a wonderful mother, and have the cutest kids. I love reading your blog,
