rain, grocerys, and boo-boos
Kinda been a Calamity Jane week.
Yesterday we went into town to get Zeria who spent the weekend at the baton coaches with her twins. She had a lot of fun. We stopped at the Humane Society to see if the peak-a-pom was still available that I’d spotted online. It was. Beautiful, Lovely 6 month old puppy. So I bought it. Climbed in the excursion, and realized I’d left the lights on, and the battery was dead.
The lovely lady at the Pound tried to jump my excursion, but her car was just too small to get it going.
So I called the coach who had a mutual friend come get my kids while I waited for the tow truck. The mutual friend picked up my 6 kids and dog, and took them to the gym.
The tow truck came. He offered to try to jump it. It worked. And he did NOT charge me. I was thrilled, as otherwise we were doomed to spend the night in Port Angeles, and complicated several peoples lives getting us to where we needed to be.
I headed to the school to get my kids. Jumped out to say hi. Told them we’d head down and get Zeria’s stuff and then leave. They’d been playing at the playground. Jeremiah turned to climb up the slide one last time, and fell and split his lip badly, and poked a hole in his tongue. Almost needed stitches. Bleeding, and screaming hard. Very upset.
So I head down to the school office carrying him. And trying not to laugh. Laughing was hysterical. LOL
Get some klynex for Jeremiah examine it a bit closer. No we don’t need stitches, but its definitely NASTY. Head home without further incident.
Today has been a much better day. Other then heading into costco without my list, so headed back to the car got my list, headed back to Costco, forgot my pen, headed back again.
Yup I have blonde roots. *nods*
Got home from grocery shopping to find a very very miserable Jeremiah. I’m holding his birthday pressy a kitten, and he doesn’t even want to look at it cause he’s puking. Why is he puking? Cause he hasn’t eaten a single bite of food since yesterday before he cut his lip. He’s scared its going to hurt, so he declared a fast.
*ugh* Tried to bribe, bully, cajole him into eating. No go. He pukes again. Suggest pudding, and he says he’ll eat that. So run to PB’s to get it. He ate it, and a yougart, and is now sleeping. Split lips, and tongues are very stressful.
Todays going to be better yes?

Head and mouth cuts are so scary and do hurt big time. I think he was on the right track with the not eating but he did need the pudding etc. Kids don’t realize you can eat without chewing. You sure have more energy that I do.
E-gads girl, how do you keep your sanity??? Hope the little guy is better. Pudding, jello and ice cream are all good bribes……….just slies down the throat without chewing. I bit my tongue badly about 10 years ago, bleed like a stuck hog and yes it was sore, so I feel for him. Hope the rest of your week is more calm. So take care ”one very busy mother”. You’ve earned your stripes
Ouch, okay, I’m tired just reading that blog, and what is with Jeremiah and hurting himself? It reminds me that Sarah at the first co-op in sept. smacked her head and got a big ugly bump, so last week while at bible study, same spot… she hits it again. We tell her she is going to beat all her brains out if she doens’t stop hurting her head. She gets mad because she thinks we are teasing her… we tell her we are quit serious and she needs to be a little more careful. So what did she do at church on sunday… She hit her head. Same spot! This time it was bleeding…. *sigh* oh well! I guess that is just raising kids right? I think I should get her eyes checked though and make sure her periphereal vision is okay?
Ouch, I hope Jeremiah is feeling a lot better! That would have been painful!
Some days are just crazy, aren’t they?!
