More ER fun

déjà vu! Another trip to the ER!!

Not minding, as usual, and the gracelessness they inherited from me landed us back in the ER.
Apparently “let’s start getting ready for bed” translates into “run around like fools”

Gabe fell and cracked his head. He just shook it off and got up to keep playing. Al noticed his head was bleeding and freaked out. Quick once over by Mom and Dad, and we’re all throwing clothes on and going on the great shoe hunt(seriously, we always lose at least one shoe every time we need one)

Forever in the ER and he ended up with 2 staples and a prescription for Cephalexin(the doc said he didn’t like the way is was looking already). Gabe was such a big brave boy! They skipped the topical numbing stuff and went with the shot and Gabe never even so much as made a face. He sat there yapping away the whole time, and while they put the staples in. I expected at least a few tears, but there was nothing!

I actually remembered my camera. Sad, I know, but after I saw Gabe wasn’t bleeding to death(he seriously just wanted a band-aid and to go back to playing) I thought, “Hm. Picture of the day, I guess.” Fat lot of good it did to remember. I was completely floored–after we sat there for 2 hours(good thing he wasn’t bleeding that bad) we found out only one of us could go back with Gabe. I was so stunned I left all the stuff in the waiting room with Brandy(camera, insurance and SS card). We went to Ripley with E and we all piled back there(honestly, shocked as I am to be saying it, the people in Ripley were a lot nicer, too!). I’m not too thrilled with the look I got when I told them what happened. It was one of those “Yeah, I bet he “fell” down” looks. The next 15 times we were asked what happened I let Gabe do the talking. They got the same long story every time; he gave them the complete play by play-where Al and E were when he fell, how he fell, what they were doing, what they said, how he just wanted a band-aid, all of it. I stood there with my go-to-hell-bitch look on my face. I don’t take too kindly to someone insinuating I’d do something to my babies.

I did get pictures, after we got home(you knew I would, right?) Gabe is so proud of his boo-boo! He says “It’s the most awesome boo-boo EVER!” Boys….does anything phase them that should?

o, yeah, doing a real bang up job blogging, huh? Clearly moving my blog didn’t give me the motivation I needed

I just can not believe it’s New Years Eve already. Seriously, where did the year go? It seems like just a few weeks ago I was saying I couldn’t believe 2008 was here, and now it’s practically 2009!!

It’s been a year, that’s for sure! The kids shot up like weeds(don’t they always, though?), Brandy and I celebrated our 10th year of marriage(a decade–wow!), Mason Taylor entered the world, and Twilight was introduced into my life and the obsession began ;o)(I’ll always be thankful to you, Heidi!)

We’re spending New Years Eve at home this year…hanging out as a family, gaming, generally enjoying the 3 ring circus that is us ) Usually the whole family heads to Mamaws and spend the night, but she’s not feeling up to it this year(she’s going downhill so fast), so in the morning we’re all heading over and doing lunch with her.

I threw myself into scrapping this year, and cranked out 208(!!!) pages. Um, I so didn’t think I’d done that many! Maybe more next year? I’m really more comfortable with my pages these days, and I think that makes it easier. I am on some awesome CT’s, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with the designers and the other girls on the teams. Some great friendships have come about through one of my CT’s…I love my fellow Gypsy Girls! It’s just one of those situations where we all just kinda clicked immediately. I had my one year anniversary with Sherrie and PGD in August, and I gotta say, she’s gonna have to foricably remove me from the team if she wants me gone

Speaking of which, wanna see what I got??

Sherrie made it, isn’t it awesome? I stood out in my yard blubbering when I opened it. Seriously, the BEST EVER CT, and PGD is the best digi scrapping place to shop/hang!

I’ve decided to do Project 365 this year(already got my page for it up there at the top, so you can check there starting, um, tomorrow!). I really want to stick with it, but we’ll see how far into the year I get! If nothing else, maybe I’ll end up with a couple killer photos!

And, with just 2 hours and 18 minutes left in 2008, I’ve rambeled a very long blog post. I’m off to log some quality R6V2 wit Brandy!

See ya in 2009!
