Sep. 30, 2008 - A Couple Extra Days Off
We took our scheduled week off last week, traveled back to Michigan to visit family and go to my nephew's wedding. Everyone had a lovely time except we couldn't find Little Monkeys tennis shoes before we left. Grandma found them in the bottom of a toy bin and has mailed them to us. How silly of me not to look in the bottom of a toy bin tucked away in a corner of the basement. What logical six year old boy doesn't put his shoes there?
Was I eager and ready to start back to our studies Monday? No, but I would have gladly done that instead of this:
That is Big Man's (8) big toe. You see, I wasn't feeling well Monday so my darling hubby took it upon himself to restock our food supplies. He decided to be really brave and take everyone with him to the grocery store. I bet he will never. do. that. again. I'm a little fuzzy still on how his toe got tangled in the wheel of the shopping cart, but I can confirm the almost complete rippage of his toenail from his toe. The immediate care doctor put some numbing cream on it, bandaged it up well, and gave Big Man good drugs to help the pain. Since he's nicely loopy, we've taken the day off. We'll see about tomorrow! Supposedly the nail will come off itself in a few days. In the meantime, we're watching far too many movies and eating snacks on the couch.
This doesn't exactly come at the best time, with football starting this weekend. Basketball evaluations are this weekend and next, so we'll do those next weekend, hoping his foot isn't hurting too much in his shoes by then! Here I was all excited about staying on track with our schedule, even though we had so many things added to our days this year. Oh well, I'll either make up our missed day this weekend, or I'll tack it on our next break time.

Hello, just wanted to thank you for commenting over at my blog on the saving money entry. I really enjoyed your church nursery story. Sometimes I wonder how many blessings I've missed out on just because I went ahead and took care of something myself without waiting on God.
I hope your son's toe is doing better, it must be awfully painful.
Blessings, Julie
