Jenna's class project

Jenna is doing a "family" unit in her classroom right now. She had to color a family crest yesterday. Today she had to write things about each family member. For her Dad she wrote...my Dad likes to save the USA. It just about brought tears to my eyes!! She's a thoughtful one!

Can anyone tell me what this means???

We have our Christmas decorations out. Creed was playing with the Nutcracker and this Snowman. He shouldn't be playing with them as they are glass and will break if they hit the floor. I thought it was cute that he has them "talking" to one another!

Advice from your husband

Most of the time I try very hard to listen to the advice from my husband...whom I love very much! However, there are times that I choose not to do so. Needless to say, the other night I should have listened.

Our boys are pretty much destroying our tower computer. I previously had put the tower on this brace on the desk. He said something to me then and I told him all was well, and really it was. Then Jenna got a new computer game. Being the big 6 year old she is, she can put the games in by herself. In order to do this, she had to take the computer down and she did so....without hurting herself! Yea Jenna!! So, I was putting it back up on the brace. Needless to say, it wasn't as secure as it was before. AND. IT. FELL. ON. MY. BIG. TOE!!!!!!! It did hurt when it happened. I did do the owie owie dance. Then I went to put the boys in bed. I was in a hurry to do this because by this time my toe is really starting to hurt. I walked from the back of the apartment to the front, as this is where the living room is. I had just stated to Bill that my toe is hurting and I need to sit down. I look at my black socked foot and notice that my toe is bleeding. Take the sock off and know immediately that I have to go into the clinic....NOW!!!

Now the clinic is not that far away. I can see it from my balcony. I know THERE IS NO WAY I CAN WALK THERE OR EVEN DRIVE!! Yes, really, it was that bad. I called my ER nurse friend and she isn't answering her phone. I knew my other friend was at school. Finally I called another friend to ask her to take me to the clinic as my husband needed to stay here with the kids.

She takes me to the clinic, they take a look at it and say that I might possibly have to go to Seoul to get stitches, after they take off the nail that is split and broken. Luckily it wasn't that bad, but it will take about 3-4 weeks for my toe to heal. Nothing is broken and I didn't need stitches.

Now my BIG problem is....I HAVE NOT ONE, BUT TWO BALLS THAT I HAVE TO GO TO!!! ONE I MAY BE IN THE RECEIVING LINE!!!!!!! So, I'm going to look so great wearing one very nice Cole Haan shoe and one birkenstock sandal. I can't even wear a sock at this point, so we'll see what the week brings. I know that I won't be able to wear the other Cole Haan.

So, maybe I should listen to my husband...at least some of the time!
