Yesterday's Curve Ball

I got a call at 7:28 am from the hospital Sunday morning. Mom had feared waking us up....HA! We were up since 6:00 am. I was just about the get in the shower and get the kids ready to go to her house and then onto Sunday School & Church. Here's where the curve ball comes in. She would've either been lying on the floor in pain or passed out when we got there OR just not there....Turns out she broke her hip, yep, broke it. Broke the ball right off the top of her femur bone.....Surgery is today. She was stepping over a baby gate because she wanted to let the dog roam the kitchen as a 'treat' while Dad was away at his golf trip. He had just left early Sat. morning. So, she hoisted her leg mostly over the gate, but her slipper got caught and DOWN SHE WENT!

I was disheartend at first when I saw where the call was coming from, but was somehow relieved to hear that she fell of her own clumsy accord as opposed to passing out and falling.....weird, isn't it?!

So, on our side the first thought was to find a sitter as Mom had been watching the kids the two days a week that I work. Mission accomplished as the prior sitter was more that happy to watch the kids for a few days for a few, maybe four weeks.....We'll see how surgery goes.

Life never goes how you plan it........

The over-night was not the best, Baby Boy got up twice (bad teething at the moment) and so did Baby Girl...potty breaks. Which I"d prefer potty breaks to changing diapers or changing sheets......But needless to say, I'm tired!

This morning I also got a call from my neighbor who'd been up all night sick (she believes and hopes it was food poisoning....so do I)......Because she asked me to watch her daughter a little while while her Mom travels down to help her out. I'm hoping she's getting in some good sleep, as she's got things rough on her own. Her husband is deployed and it's been a tough couple months already!

I'm wondering if the part-time thing is going to work out, although I felt I was just getting the hang of it and the schedule and then, BOOM! I don't like that the kids will be going into day care again, but the provider really missed them, really Baby Boy......he's always a happy boy! I'm also not looking forward to that. It'll be tough on him to go to day care, but at least Baby Girl will be there for him.......

I'm waiting for my handsome boy to wake up now. I'm also keeping the girls from fighting over toys........ To go from 2 to 3 automatically is TOUGH! Who new it would be this hard?!? Not that I can't handle it, it's just out the norm...... Hopefully she won't go home with any boo-boos. I didn't do so well the first time I watched her, as right in front of me, she slid down the wood pole in our basement and scraped up her back.......I felt TERRIBLE......
