And yes...my world is full of chaos....

Oye...it has been a very rough week...

Let's see last week Pantiewad girl broke her arm...

I was just finishing up lunch on Tuesday - 6/6/06 BTW - when I get a call from the director at daycare...which of course is never a good thing...so I am thinking GREAT one of my kids threw up...has a fever...pissed herself and I forgot a change of clothes...

Nope...the information I receive threw me into a tizzy...

"I regret to inform you we think Pantiewad broke her arm"

ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Of course I told them I would be right there and out the door I flew...on my way out I babbled something incoherant to my supervisor - lucky my co-worker overheard the phone conversation and was able to translate.

Got to the daycare in under 20 minutes (let's not even try to guess how much I broke the speed limits) and learned she had fallen off the Monkey Bars...on the brand new playground that the kids were allowed on for the first time that VERY DAY! The playground that was designed for the "older" school-aged kids...the playground had I known they were going to let the Pre-K's on it I would have told the teachers that my girls were not allowed on the Monkey Bar part...anyway that is neither here nor there - it happened and I can't reverse time (because if I could I would reverse it all the way back to the bad Pepe Lopez night...I sure would like to look at Cheerios without gagging - another story for another time - let's just say...learn a lesson from me and stay away from cheap tequila)

As a parent you ALWAYS have this scenerio in the back of your mind about what you are going to do the first time your kid breaks something or comes to you gushing blood from a nice gash somewhere on their body...you think you will be calm and rational and orderly...and all that goes out of the window when it actually happens to your kid...

Well off we went to the ER - PW girl was a trooper all gussied up in a split fashioned from a Nick Jr. magazine and some masking tape...I have to say the ER we went to was fantastic - we hardly waited in the waiting room - got back to a nice room and everything was just done in a very quick and timely fashion - the nice big TV with cable in the room was a plus too...got her all set up with some nice Morphine and got the X-rays...

Yep the X-rays showed that her arm was in fact broken - she managed to break both the Radius and the Ulna bones in her right arm - about 1/3 of the way up from her wrist...thank goodness it wasn't her wrist...

In the end we left with a cast up to her shoulder, a prescription for Tylenol with codeine and an appointment for tommorrow to put on a permanent cast...this one the Dr. informs me can be any color PWG chooses...I am betting on the hot pink model...

Add all this to new kittens and a dog that now needs surgery on it's ear...
