Really, really, go away Monday!

Oh so much fun.
NOT
Today started the "lazy days" of summer. Grace started off with a bang by waking us up at around 1:20 for the first time. Another time around 2:30 and then sometime around 5:45. Tom then had to get ready for work. So eventually we got to breakfast and getting ready for Swim team practice. We had a great day swimming and playing at the pool for a while after swim team. Then it was time to go home for lunch, baths and naps.
That is when it all happened.
As we were walking to the car, I stepped off the curb and my ankle twisted and I heard a LOUD pop and all my muscles went limp. Unfortunately I was carrying Lily. I fell to the ground as did Lily scraping her ear and hitting the back of her head on the asphalt. So we then spent the rest of the afternoon, riding in an ambulance to the hospital, getting an x-ray of my foot and ankle, getting the all clear on Lily's head injury and detoxing upon getting home.

At this point I want to say THANK YOU to Ms. Lara and her boys for calling 911, watching Grace and helping me wrap my head around everything. Thank you to the Firefighters and EMTs for your kind words and especially Firefighter Jeff who was a very nice YOUNG guy who put Ms. Lily at ease and held her while she slept(he got a lot of teasing even from his captain and nurses in the hospital). Thank you to my wonderful loving husband who dropped everything and met us at the ER, drove us home, bought us dinner and an ice pack. Thank you to my parents and who came to the ER and were the liaison between me in fast track 3 and Lily in pediatric ER and sat with me in my wet bathing suit awaiting to see what the x-rays said. Also I should say thank you to the nurses, doctors and technicians who attended to us at the hospital.

So it is just a sprain and Lily may have a headache, but it is over, it is almost Tuesday.

Goodnight.
