Stitches

We went 8 1/2 years without a kid getting stitches.  Not bad.  I hope that average gets better with time.  Nathan crashed Sunday in the indoor playroom at church.  He was riding a four wheel push car and he described the accident as, "I was going really fast and tipped over."  He now has four stitches to prove it.  I wanted to post on FB but figured it might be a bit gross.  I had to post it somewhere.

He had to go to urgent care and the doctor was great with him.  Recited 10 little monkeys with him to calm him down with a story about his own son jumping on a bed.  The doctor talked him through the whole process before hand and then told him what he was doing as he did it.  Nathan was awesome.  No one had to hold him down.  I have heard so many stories from parents how it took both parents and three nurses to hold them down for stitches.  Okay maybe I went a bit far with three nurses.  Regardless, he was an awesome patient.  The doctor thanked him for being good and Nathan replied, "thanks for being a good doctor."  The kids is a riot!

His Sunday school teacher drove us to urgent care.  Nathan did not want to go to the ER which is fine with me.  Others were in place to help us.  Thankful a ER doctor goes to our church. So thankful for everyone that just helped. We left the girls with great people.  Alex didn't even know we had left and came back to church without her.  I had to leave teaching because Mark was playing the keyboard this week.  Mark met us at the urgent care.  Once the last stitch was in he left to go back to church to play the second set.  Crazy!

We made it back to church before the second service was over (happened during first service) He got a lot of attention.  Small church news travels fast.   Nathan is supposed to have them out in 5 to 7 days.  He wants to wait until day 7.  Silly boy just wants the attention.  He will go to his doctor Friday for removal.

Break is over!

Wow! It took me some time to log onto Blogger. I always feel like it is a test when I have to remember a password on an account. I couldn't remember the email or password. That is when you know it has been awhile.  I started a new blog on wordpress. I have been writing but it is all about crafty DIY project and organization. Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I ever use Box of Chocolates and I was sad to say, "No".  So here I am with a renewed outlook on Box of Chocolates.  You never know what you are going to get, but here I am again so at least it will be something. For a year I have been wanting to do National Novel Writing Month. It is the month of November.  The process has already started for me. I have been reading books on writing and doing research on some of the ideas I have for my Novela. Novel sounds so much better to me in Spanish. I think I have written about things in different languages sometimes just sound better. I think it was a post on my ...

NaNoWriMo & Peeps

peeps pēps/ noun  informal people (often used to refer to a person's friends or associates). "thanks for the feedback, peeps!" If you choose to do NaNoWriMo you have got to explain to the ones you love and cherish what you are doing in November. The more warnings the better. I told my husband a year before I started NaNoWriMo that I wanted to   do a month writing challange and explained the details. I didn’t talk about it all year but once October came around I started to talk more about NaNoWriMo. I talked about it so much my second year that my kids wanted to do NaNoWriMo too.   It was fun to do some writing prep with my kids.   My oldest has already set a goal for this year.  If you have kids you should check out the  Young Writers Program .  They can set word goals. I like encouraging my kids to write with me. It might even help me justify writing on Saturday and Sunday when I have a kid or two a...

Ripples

I am always surprised by people that toss rocks into the water and expect there to be no ripple. Social media is a crazy phenomena in your current world. Social media here you can post your thoughts, pictures and tweet (limited to 140 characters) for the world to see in an instant.  Where apparently you can say things you would never say to someones face. With this phenomena is the ability for people to rant and complain about anything. There is good in social media but the ones that toss boulders into the water not expecting to get wet amaze and entertain me. My personal favorite although I don't think it is considered social media but is up for debate is the blog. My blog is where I can rant or rave for more than 140 characters. I blog when the 140 characters can no sum up the thoughts, feelings or epiphanies that the day has had for me. I love social media. I hate social media. The information that we can get at our finger tips is quick and easy and with social media I can s...
