Butterfly bandages

I am very thankful for them, if they did not exist, then I would be making yet another ER trip.

What happened?

Last night, i had a chance, a chance to use the bathroom uninterrupted….so I thought.

All the kids had sat down for dinner at the table, they were eating and talking. This was perfect! So upstairs I went.

About 2 minutes later, screaming. Not just normal argument screaming.

I run downstairs and halfway down Jonathan comes to me and said “I didn’t do it! I didn’t do it! Siennas eyeball is bleeding!” I said WHAT!?!?!?

It took about 5 minutes before i could get everyone calmed down enough to get the story.

Apparently Alaina had went to the freezer to take her “ice pack” out that she made with melted ice then refroze it. She took it out and for whatever reason, decided to throw it at Sienna gashing her eye brow wide open.

I mean REALLY?!?!?

Sometimes I just don’t understand.

Alaina was however VERY repentant and only had to stand in the corner for 10 minutes. She kept screaming “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” While crying. Must have been a hundred times at least.

So instead of the ER, I came across these neat butterfly bandages, cut one side to fit over Siennas eye, and Voila! The slice is about 1/2 inch long but closed perfectly and runs through her brow, so hopefully you won’t even be able to see a scar.

PHEW. (you can see her scar from her surgery still, but when her hair grows longer you will not be able to see it.)

Someone send me on vacation?

This morning started off great, Until this guy….

Got ahold of A+D ointment and fingerpainted my dresser,carpet,and himself…oh and a stuffed Barney.

FUN!

I have to say though it IS easier to clean up then vaseline. Been there done that! And he spared his hair! Yay!

After recovering from the A+D ointment incident, Mark and I were able to have a nice lunch, I made fried mushroom,onion,and garlic,put it on some italian bread…chopped up steak for Mark on the side.

The coal man showed up this morning also, just in time, we had days left of coal. Now the bin is overflowing and will last into next winter. Ready for real winter to show up now. Middle of December and this past week we had 50′s and 60′s? i am not complaining either! I would LOVE for it to be this mild all year. We know that does not happen though!
