Saturday was a beautiful day but it was spent finding a new tv stand, one that would slow the kids down when they wanted to mess with all our components.  Sunday was a blah day outside and inside.  Today (Monday)  was a blah like morning but after naps the kids and I stepped outside to get the mail.  After a quick look at the backyard we returned inside for new diapers and out we went again.  An hour later we were on our way back inside a bit dirtier than when we left.  Anna & I just had a couple of dirty spots on our pants.  Jack had a dirty face, hands, pants, shoes, sock, & shirt, oh and the shirt was wet too.  Might sound silly but he looked like a little boy who had just had a blast outside.  Yes, of course there are pictures of the kids enjoying the fake spring day.

In Damion news, well, his foot isn’t as colorful as it has been.  He is still in pain but I don’t think its as bad as it was.  He doesn’t complain about pain in general so the only thing I have to base this on is that he’s taking over the counter pain meds and not the prescription meds.  He has successfully made it through week one of five with his cast and he says he’s ready for it to come off now.   Since some people get queasy with certain injury pictures I have created an album in the gallery that shows Damion’s foot’s progress if you guys are interested.

Okay, I know I usually make linky links for you to click to take you to the galleries I speak of but tonight that isn't working too well and I don't want to trouble shoot anything.  It's almost midnight.  I just want to go to bed.  Sorry, but that's just the way this cookie has crumbled tonight......Cookies?!  C is for Oreo....hehehe.  OH!  It's good to be me!  Night all!

What a day it has been. Normal morning. Normal afternoon. Damion got home at his normal time. Jack was climbing (normal activity) on an end table (sort of normal location). Damion started to come downstairs to stop Jack. Normal still. Damion slipped on the last step and fell to the floor in pain, not normal. Long story short, after an hour at the E.R. the doctor entered the room asking if we knew a good orthopedic surgeon. Damion doesn't really have a primary care physician but we could instantly name an orthopedic. Anyways, the E.R. doctor let us look at and take pictures of the x-rays.

 

Yup. That's right. He broke his foot in two spots. At the E.R. they put on a splint, wrapped his foot and sized him for crutches. Tomorrow morning after we wake up we'll call the good ortho doctor's office to schedule an appointment for tomorrow. Damion says he's going to need surgery, I'm hoping for something other than that but not too optimistic. Don't worry. I'll try to provide more info as I have it.

In December Damion and I celebrated nine years of marriage. Yup you read that right, nine years. Now I'm sure you've heard of people finishing other people's sentences, but how about their complete thoughts? Apparently after nine years we can do that.

Tonight we were driving and while staring out the window at nothing in particular I start to ask Damion, “Did you see” and he interrupted and said “Yup”. Silly thing is that I didn't even question him further because I knew he knew what I was talking about. Oh, for those who don't speak our language I was going to ask him if he saw any of the stuff related to the impeachment votes against IL Governor Rod Blagojevich. Needless to say we drove a couple of blocks while I tried to figure out exactly how he knew but gave up and started to talk about a document related to the impeachment.

Also tonight we went to Sam's Club. While there a gentleman had a seizure and we happened to be in the area when management started to respond to him and the situation. As we were leaving the guy checking carts asked us if we knew anything about the guy (as an fyi this guy seems to be working every time we go there and he always talks to us and the kids so we were likely familiar looking). We told him and he thanked us. As we were leaving the emergency vehicles were pulling into the lot. I said to Damion in a funny way, “I wonder if they have to show their Sam's card to get in?” Damion laughed and asked the guy waiting to direct them to the right area. The guy smirked and said, “No, we'll just let them go this time.” Don't know why, but I found this interaction amusing.
