Enough with the Mondays already
Two weeks ago on Monday, I was puking my guts up.
One week ago on Monday, Jamie was puking her guts up, and I had to put my cat down.
Today, Jamie fell off the monkey bars at school and broke her arm. And just to rub in the Bad Mommy title, I didn't realize it was the school calling me, so I didn't bother to answer the phone. (I was driving and trying to be responsible, because I didn't want to get sucked into a long conversation with who I *thought* it was while I was on the road.)
She's going to be fine, although I got a little worried when her regular doctor was concerned about the location of the break and sent us to Children's Medical Center to get a more knowledgeable opinion. In the end, they splinted her arm, and sent us home. She goes to an orthopaedist in 3-5 days for follow up, and I assume a real cast.
Jamie was such a trooper today. I haven't seen a single tear, and most of her complaints of pain have been when someone was moving her arm for x-rays. I'm really proud of the way she's handled herself.
Still. I'm pretty sure I'm skipping Monday next week.
