Another exciting day


This morning at swimming lessons, one of the lifeguards came over and told me that Zane was in the office bleeding with an ice pack on his chin. She didn't know exactly what he did, but she didn't think it was too bad. I went in and found him. He couldn't really tell us what happened except that he hit his chin on the edge of the pool. It was a little cut, but it was pretty deep and everytime he moved his chin it would pop open. They suggested I take him to see if it needed glued shut. I called the doctor on the way home from the pool and they told me to come right over. No one had clothes or shoes so here we come trudging in to the doctor's office with towels, wet heads and bare feet. I had to lay Zeke and Olivia down out in the lobby and put their regular diapers on them so then we had 2 in nothing but diapers and 4 in swimming suits. Our appointment was at 11:15 (yeah right). The doctor told us that since it was on his chin and kept popping open he would need stitches instead of glue. Well, quite a few tears, 6 suckers and 4 stitches later, we left. It was 12:40 when we got home. Unfortunately the girls had piano lessons at 1:00 so they had to run in, put shorts over their swim suits, grab thier books and get shoes on. I got them some cold pizza out of the fridge to eat on the way over. We dropped them off and the rest of us came home to eat lunch, then we went back to get them at 2:00. Luckily we don't have anything else to do except Tae Kwan Do tonight. I'm kind of tired and already looking forward to bed time. Hopefully tomorrow will be less eventful. We just have swimming in the morning and I have a presidency meeting in the afternoon. Then of course there is the dreaded grocery shopping afterwards. I will use Culvers as bribery though. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! (Plus I will need the ice cream to calm my nerves!)

Sounds like just another day at the races for you guys. Good thing you are so calm. I would have needed the ice cream today!
