Wow! Last Thursday was one of the most harrowing days I have experienced! I took the day off after my morning appointment rescheduled. I had promised my little boy (Ian- 3 years old!) I would take him sledding at the first opportunity. The weather was finally great for outdoor play and lots of snow for sledding. I got us all packed up and ran a couple errands, then as we were on our way- got our car stuck. Fun. It took an hour to get it out but we managed to get it out before the plow truck came. Then we made our way to Pinery Park in Wyoming. We made it all the way up the hill and went down on our sled- about halfway down our sled broke in several pieces!

My poor little guy was very unhappy about that! All that work and half a trip downhill was all that resulted. So of course I couldn’t STAND the disappointment on his face and we went to the nearest sports store and bought him a brand new sled. We had fun for a good hour or more before we tired out.

I had a package that was at the Post Office so I decided we’d stop at the Post Office and pick it up on the way home… We stood in line for several minutes and Ian was busy busy looking at all the brochures and papers in the counters. He was about 3 feet from me and suddenly slipped on the floor and took a complete header smack on the floor on his face. My heart froze as I ran to him and picked him up and blood was gushing from his forehead. I grabbed him and ran out the post office in a panic. Some of the PO folks brought my package out to me and suggested I take him to Urgent Care on the Beltline since it was closer. I rushed him into Urgent Care and they cleaned him up a bit for me and the little guy wound up getting stitches.

He was so good through it. I was a mess though. LOL. Even now my blood pressure rises when I think about it!

I went home and after getting him dinner (his favorite – hotdogs) and letting him open a brand new pack of playdoh- he went to sleep and I took a much needed bath with a VERY large glass of wine. LOL.
