Life Happens..........

This past week was one of the the longest weeks I've had in a long time. It started on Tuesday with a series of head aches that would not stop. Taking pain killer only took the edge away not the whole head ache away ( and I am still suffering from them right now). Then on Thursday everything came crashing down (figuratively and literally) when Abby fell off the bunk bed and fractured her elbow!! We spent the entire afternoon at the doctors office and then the Hospital. We did not get home until 11:30 pm and then we had to go back to a specialist doctor on Friday which took the entire afternoon and some of the evening. This whole time my head was hurting. In the end Abby got a PINK cast and is very proud!! All of her siblings keep giving her a lot of attention. Just a side note.........Abby did fall off a bunk bed but don't all at once decide not to get bunk beds or take down ones that you already have............She could have just as easily fallen down the steps or off a swing or gotten hurt while wrestling with her brothers or any number of things we don't think about. Just food for thought. Life Happens! Abigail is doing great and is such a little trooper.

Looks like she'll live! I think she takes after her grammy and Aunt Cammie. I had my arm in a sling when I was 5 too with a fractured elbow. Of course, it seems like Aunt Cammie always had her arm in a cast when she was little!

Get better soon Abby!!!!!

I keep waiting for our first "break"...It's SO bound to happen. I looked out the window a couple weeks ago and saw my 3 oldest kids sitting ON TOP OF THE BARN...I kept watching and saw that they were racing cars down the metal chicken coup roof...I kindly asked them to only do that when their daddy was home so that it would be more convenient to take them to the hospital when one of them broke something...not if...when!!!
