How Was your Week?

Hope everyone wore their apron yesterday for National Apron Day.

I haven't been posting regularly lately because I have been nursing wounds. It was a tough week last week. Last Sunday Sweetpea was in an accident. She was riding a motorized scooter, fell and broke her nose, scraped up her whole face, knee, arm, fingers... she was a mess. There is no worse feeling than seeing your child hurt. We ended up having to go to the hospital - she was throwing up and I knew that wasn't good. I also knew that she broke her nose before any professional told me so. When they say a mother knows... it's true, we do. After the x-rays and examination, they confirmed what I already knew, that in fact the nose was broken, the wrist was not and that she had a concussion. I felt sick to my stomach all night... my poor beautiful baby hurt, but she was a trooper. She was so brave. She is doing fine now. We kept a lot of ice on her nose for 2 1/2 days and polysporin on all the wounds, that is some good stuff. I applied that cream all week and as of today you would never know that she was hurt. The scabs just dried up and peeled off. Luckily, her nose didn't shift when she broke it and it is going to heal just fine.

After dealing with all that, hubby came home from work late last week and burned his whole right hand. I again had to put my nurse's cap on and look after his wounds. The next day he finally went to see the doctor, after much pleading with him (what is it with men and not seeing doctors?) The doctor confirmed that he had minor second degree burns. There isn't much you can do for that other than keep it clean once the blisters open. They are healing nicely now, but look so raw. Stressful week to say the least. I am just so glad that everyone is going to be OK.

Since all that happened, it caused me to get behind in my schedule... and it was going so smoothly too ... I should have known there was going to be a blip (i just wish it wasn't such a big blip). Anyway, I have been trying to catch up on all the things that I should have had done last week and this week and I am almost there. This is one of the things I have been working on - a custom Initial It purse. I have another one that I have to get done, however the client just wanted it plain with no initial. Easy enough.
