What an exciting week...

Seriously, life could not get any more hectic right now. It's the end of the school year, which always stresses me out, but combine that with the fact that I am leaving this school and teaching for at least a year and that adds much more to the to do list. Ed has been sick this week so I have been trying to not let things totally fall apart at home and today, Mo fell at school.

I was just about to leave to head to 8th grade graduation practice when his teacher was rushing towards me clutching a bleeding Mo. We decided it probably needed stitches and after a frantic call to our family doc were headed to the ER.

Our family has been relatively lucky as far as kid injuries and illnesses go. Yes, our kids tend to get sick a lot but rarely really, really worry Mommy sick. We've never had to take either of them to the ER or hospital so aside from my 2 million 600,000 pregnancy hospital visits, I have not really had to experience the hospital. I was expecting to be there for awhile this afternoon, and we were. But the nurses and doc were really nice and Mo was incredibly well behaved. It helped they had a portable TV screen he could play with/watch and he got a cute stuffed animal from the nurse. All in all, it was a positive experience. Morgan came home with a superglued chin (stitches are out for the under 10 crowd, unless its a large cut), was only slightly grumpy tonight and is currently cuddling and sleeping with Ed the cow (named by nurse not us).
