Things are starting to settle down

BUT SOMETIMES I LIE....So, Sunday after Turkey Day we picked up kids from Heidi's and headed off to go bowling (of course after nap time) and surprisingly Tyler did well, he didn't spazz like crazy when we got there, he sat still for me to change his shoes, we picked out a ball together, he carried it to the lanes, went to go through it for practice and BOOOOOMMMM down he goes, 8lb ball on top of finger. I chase the finger while Tyler runs to daddy, whining, yes just whining my finger, my finger. I gather ball up, look at Tim, Tim is white and mouths, "he needs F*%King stiches, much to my astonishment, I replied...what, you are totally over reacting, he takes his hand off Tyler's finger and it starts GUSHING Blood, Tim ran to the desk and said, I need a first aide kit...NOW, luckily, I stayed calm...yeah...me...weird huh. I gave Tim a couple "Seriously, Stop freaking out looks", I grabbed hat, mittens, boots, gave Brandon $20 and told the people we came with to have fun with Brandon and we will pick him up later, Tyler needs stiches. Ran to the car, with bowling shoes still in tact, packed up kids, made a couple phone calls, dropped Kara to my bestest friends house and headed for the ER...yup...packed...luckily Daddy-O pulled some strings (the joys of his job) and we were back in Minor Treatment in no time...no crying, no nothing...amazing for my almost diagnosed Autistic boy. (keep reading, the calm before the storm) We get back there and the nurse beings to examine him as he tells her his "finner" hurt, she begins to take the bandage off much to my surprise SCREAMING BEGINS...MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY NO NO NO MOMMY, yup wrapped back up, and we are sent for an x-ray...x-ray complete broke in 2 places, time for stiches, I will spare you the screaming hysterical detail, it was just bad, we will leave it at that!!!!! After we "all done" he was telling everyone about his "finner" and he broke it with big balls (lol...my kid) and it hurts bad...he told all the nurses thank you and bye friends...thanks to the great Tylenol with Codeine he was quite talkative to everyone!!! I am now convinced that my little boy does not need speech services at school anymore...GET OFF OF ME AND I WANNA GO HOME RIGHT NOW, came out quite clear in the ER. So here we are 8 days later, splinted, wrapped, and still broken, Tyler is now deathly afraid of his 10 month old sister, who thinks his finger is something to play with and take away from him, she will sneak up to him while he is watching TV and YANK it off, to the response of him screaming and her laughing (i love my little girl) so whenever she looks at him and smiles, he screams because he's scared. Stiches come out Thursday, and God only knows how long before it's completely healed, he's gonna have one heck of a scar because of where it's placed it was very hard to stich.

So....Monday night 9:30, my night consisted of...gormet meal for my family...hot dogs and mac cheese...oh yeah..carbs...then a trip to Urgent Care with the above named CHILD. I came home and the little shit had green stuff oozing from his eye, I looked at Tim and said...yeah, thanks for saving that for me...we ate, Brandon and Kara went to one of my co-workers house while Tyler and I went to Urgant Care where he proceeded to tell everyone there my finner broken...the PA took one look and said, yup PINK EYE...no daycare, no school and wash his hands. Ok...Tim is working nights all week and Ty has school tomorrow, I am busy at work...yeah...ok....so it took a lot of energy to make the decision that he needs to go to MOMMY HEIDI'S HOUSE because we have no where else to take him, I would normally stay home with him until Tim gets home at 8:30, but I'm so busy to where an HOUR is precious time at work...A WHOLE OTHER BLOG...THANK YOU GEORGE BUSH AND OUR ECONOMY....so he is off to his mothers, Brandon is asleep on the couch with the game controller in his hand and I am feeling myself ready for beddy bye...after praying I don't get the dreaded PINK EYE...y do they call it pink when his eye was oozing GREEN....people and their colors!

****PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR MY FRIEND SARAH AND HER FAMILY AS THEY ARE DEALING WITH HER FATHER'S ILLNESS SO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS****

SARAH, YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS EVERYDAY...PLEASE CALL IF YOU NEED ANYTHING!
