It has been a Manic Monday!

Yesterday Livi was running through the kitchen with just socks on her feet. Chasing balloons in socks and a tile floor don't mix. After wiping out and hearing a slight crack, Livi couldn't walk. Not only couldn't walk, but couldn't put pressure on her foot at all.


Thank goodness Grandpa was still here. He is a pediatrician. He looked at it and said it was either a sprain or a hairline fracture. We gave her some Motrin, took a wee little nap (I think I wanted the nap more than she needed it!) By the evening it still wasn't getting better. Livi loved being carried around as well.

I honestly thought she was just being the drama queen that she is and can be. But this morning, she still couldn't put any pressure on it. It is also a little swollen and bruised. OOpppss, start filling out my Mother of the Year application right now.

(Insert a little note here: Of course Husband left for a TDY this morning in the wee hours as well. TDY=Military speak for Temporary Duty.....meaning he is doing his job someone where other than KY for the time being....until Thur). So of course Husband isn't here to share the joys of taking our baby to the hospital for her first x-ray. What is it with husbands being gone and some minor emergency happening?? I swear it happens EVERY single solitary time!

But on the upside, I was so thankful I called for an appointment and got in first thing this morning. I dropped Will off at school. My in-laws stayed in town for a few more hours to get Will if I didn't get back in time. Of course I didn't, so he got picked up in the big ol' honkin' motor home. You know he loved that!

Four hours later, we are home. It only looks like a bad sprain for now. She is not too happy about skipping gymnastics....but what can she do but roll down the incline mats! So we will head over with her Leapster while Will does his class.

So for a few more days, she will continue to be carried and toted from room to room and be treated like the true princess that she is......happy Monday y'all!

How long does it take you to get out of bed in the morning? Depends if I wash my hair or not...I only wash it every other day. Washing days...40-45 minutes. Non-washing days...20. I lay my clothes out the night before. I do the same routine in the same order every single day!

ps, totally read this wrong.....get out of bed....if a kid hasn't gotten up at least once in the middle of the night, I get right up. Otherwise, my name is Tommie, I am a snooze-button hitter. But just once!

Do you usually sleep on one side of the bed or another? Always the side closest to the bathroom...always have, always will.

Something you wish to accomplish before the end of the year: get caught up on Livi's baby book....yes, it is still not done and she is four!
