Oh What A Night...



The kids had a knock down drag out. Cam hit Payton in the eye, and then she bit his ear a la Mike Tyson...

Ok, just joking. On Friday afternoon, Cameron was playing Nerf Dart tag with his friends like they do everyday after school. He was running and tried to go through the subdivision sign and the big palm tree next to it. As he was running by the palm, one of the razor sharp branches caught his ear and went completely through it. As he kept running, it basically ripped his ear. It was gruesome to say the least. After putting the wet rag over it and it got cleaned up a bit, I could see the cartiledge basically hanging out. That's something that one who's not in the medical field, really doesn't need to see. I was about to faint. I called the doc on call and he said to get him in to the ER. Eric got home about 10 minutes later and we rushed to the hospital. He ended up with 4 stitches on the front and 1 on the back. He'll have a good scar on his ear, but it'll give him character, right? After leaving, we went to the store to fill his prescription then home. We got to the hospital at 6:30pm and didn't get home until midnight.

Chapter 2...We get home, I put an exhausted, sleeping Payton in her bed, turn to walk out and hear BAM...WAAAAHHHH! I turn around and Payton had rolled out of her bed and hit her eye on the corner of the night stand. She hit her eyelid and had a cut on it. Mommy was crying along with her. How much can one Mommy take on a random Friday night? LoL. All is well now. Cam is the most upset that he has to miss his 2 basketball games today. He'll be cheering his team on from the sideline.

I'm convinced that this weekend will be a good one in spite of Friday night. LoL. Hope yours is a good one...
