Flip It Back & Reverse It

If you're a parent, you know what this phrase means. You may not realize that you do. But, you do.

It's when you start out your day (and it's usually a Monday) with a long to-do list of things that you're going to accomplish that day. You're full of energy and you have the drive necessary to accomplish it.

And then something happens with the children and completely flips your day upside down and you end up having to put everything into reverse and absolutely nothing on your to-do list gets accomplished.

Let's take yesterday for example.

Instead of volunteering in the school and returning things to seven different stores (that's not an exaggeration!) and running other miscelleous errands, I ended up visiting three different doctors offices with Owen and his broken finger.

And I'm not counting the fourth doctor visit of the day, his eye doctor, which was already planned.

Well, I guess with two boys, I'm lucky that this is the first broken anything that we've had.

And I guess that he's learned a lesson about playing Monkey In The Middle (or rather not being the Monkey in the Middle) with a hard ball.










And yay! Just in time for summer.

Meh.

Poor little guy. And what a horrible time of year to have a broken anything. Hope he heals quickly!

He's a trooper! He'll figure out how to do whatever he wants/needs to do. I'm glad they have "waterproof" casts now. That's a good thing!
