When it rains it POURS!

You know the feeling when you know something is going wrong because your kids are quiet? I had a quick little inspiration to check on Syd the other day and she had gotten into the canned food cabinet. She was covered in marshmallow, which was the least of my worries because she was also covered in glass! Thank goodness marshmallow creme is so thick and gooey. She had glass all over her hand, mouth, and legs, but was so coated she only had a small nick in her leg that bled.

So, I tossed her in the bath fully clothed and supervised by Grace. I know, totally responsible parent to have your 3 year old watch your 1 year old in the bath, but I had to get the glass off the floor so the two year old didn't play in it while everyone else was busy.

IF you happen to live in Portland and IF it happened to be a sunny day, we were not out. BUMMER for the short summer break!

I can only imagine a cool story to tell about how I got injured...cause the real one isn't that interesting. Basically, I missed going down a step at the movie theater and tried to catch Lance on my way down, and because I was reaching straight out with my left arm, I jarred my shoulder really good (So good, in fact that I wasn't able to move it the next day, AT ALL )! Went to the chiro clinic, and I was probably an intern's dream come true: a complex case, x-rays, and a "fun" diagnosis: HADD

"FUN" meaning that I couldn't use my arm, couldn't sleep, and had a rough time taking care of the girls. I couldn't lift them at all! I got all Kinesiotaped up (see below), got an arm sling, and went about my business healing.

Lucky for me, I had a wisdom tooth extraction scheduled for Monday. (The lucky part being I got pain meds, so I could sleep! YAY!!)

In the meantime, poor Sydney got 3 teeth, THREE!!!! (and two more should be making an entrance this weekend).

Also in the meantime, Kami had two nights where upon pure inspiration we checked on her when she was choking and had puked all over her bed. And then took a nasty spill when the lip of the counter she was leaning on gave way and she hit one side of her face on the way down, and the other side on the ground. One bruised cheek, and ear later....

Poor Lance, he spent his off-time of break taking care of me and the girls. I only wished we could have traveled and explored more of the city/state. But I am so happy the girls are happy and healthy, and even more happy that I have gained back almost all of my range of motion in about a week, thanks to a Priesthood blessing and having a good doc(s) around. Now, on to Quarter 11 (of 12) with the last of Lance's actual classes. One more quarter of full days, then half-days and the home stretch!!
