Another boring Saturday for us!

I sat sipping my coffee this morning thinking about the workout at the gym in an hour or so and did I want to shower there or at home? Should we get the boys some haircuts today? It's raining outside so maybe we will have a movie day. Ahhhhhh, but nothing is ever as it seems at our house. Just when you think you have your day sort of planned out the unexpected happens. Today that meant Jack. He decided to run up the stairs. I know what you are saying, that doesn't seem so bad. Well it wouldn't have been bad except for the fact that he came up under the handrail and never stopped moving his legs, thus he came up right under the corner of the rail and it connected perfectly with the top of his head. It laid him out flat on his back. I casually got up as he wasn't spurting blood from the top of his grape, but when I got to him could already see the blood starting to run down his forehead. While Tristan ran around helping me get towels and got dressed, Savannah decided it was perfectly appropriate to try and sit on top of Jack. God I love my house there is never a dull moment! So I ran to at least brush my teeth so I wouldn't kill the nursing staff with my morning breath and lo and behold we were off the ER. Once there I found out to my amazement that Jack had never been to the ER here. Surely I thought they must be wrong, but they assured me that their computer system was quite up to date. Fortunately they had the Disney Channel to watch and while I steadily fed Savannah snacks the boys waited for the doctor and watched tv. Two staples later we are at home where a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream and "smarshmallows" makes everything better. And to think it's only 1000. Maybe I'll go back to sleep.
