It is indeed true that if anything is going to go wrong, it will go wrong when the hubby is gone. I know this...yet when something does happen I am still dumbfounded that things like this happen when he's not here because nothing like this ever happens when he is. We are nicknaming Kaitlyn Murphy's Law. (her own idea) Because if anything is going to happen....it's going to happen with her! Last year when Jay was gone to AIT, Kaitlyn's dr finally decided after 2 years of us fighting to have it done, that she needed her tonsils out. Of course....he can't be there! We tried and tried and tried for years to get them to do something for her. Finally though...we change insurance to Tricare...first time she gets sick they can't get them out of her fast enough! So yesterday, the kids get out of school, come home, we are talking about their day. Jay calls from 'over there'. We talk to him a little bit then he says he's getting online so he can send me some pics from what they did all day. So i'm online talking to him when i hear screaming. Kaitlyn was sitting on the rail around the front porch like she is not supposed to do and was going to jump from it to the ground. Her ankle got caught in the bars around it and we ended up at the ER for xrays. They say it's only sprained and she has really bad bruising. I took her to school today. She's eating up the attention from it. Her whole class stopped what they are doing to see if she was ok. Someone will carry her books for her and do everything she needs for her til she's off the crutches. Yeah she's getting plenty of attention now! I hope this does not give her any ideas for the future when she is feeling ignored! Lord knows i do not need to have to take her to the hospital any more for things like this! Other than all this yesterday was a pretty good day. Both the girls had field trips. I went with Kaitlyn to the nature center. We went for a hike in the woods, saw a couple deer and a muskrat. We talked about how seeds are spread to insure new plant growth each year and about how beavers and muskrats can live in the water even when it's freezing and still survive. Very nice day. Keliah and Ashley went to the hospital and the historical society. Keliah said it was so fun, she had a great time and wants to go to the museum again. When we took Kaitlyn to the ER last night Keliah was asking if she could look at the xrays and stuff. She had a great time. Ashley said it was really boring. But they still had a good day. Keliah goes to the nature center in 2 weeks. So we'll see what she does then. Probably the same thing Kaitlyn did yesterday. But it was worth going again. I am hoping for a good day today. Hopefully there will be no further incidents. I am waiting on the clinic on post to call me back with a follow up appointment for kaitlyn's ankle. We already have appointments for physicals first thing in the morning. So who knows what the day will bring! Have a great weekend...not sure i'll blog again in the next couple days. i could surprise you though so keep checking! Talk to you later! Oh and here's a couple pics for ya...
