Stream of Conciousness

You have to love a boy who last week jogged (seriously!) to the park and back and yesterday rode his three wheel bike to the park and back and cheered himself on each time chanting, "Go rocky, go rocky or go rocket, go rocket"!!

I am still processing a comment I recieved from another woman Tuesday night, "you look 10 years younger than you did the first time I met you, its like you lost 10 years". Most of the time I am told and feel like I look much younger than my age, especially when they find out I have 5 children!!! That must have been a bad day when she first met me!

Over the weekend Shawn had a few injuries to his fingers while working on the new office and required bandaids. He was not happy with our selection at home and started thinking that we should probably have a better selection on hand since it is spring and we have 5 children, three who are boys. So the other night he sent me to the store with orders for sushi, for him, and a bunch of first aid supplies so we can "be prepared" (he was kicked out of the boy scouts but learned something!).
I am now blaming him for the events that occured within 3 hours yesterday.
Orion, the ball freak, wiped out of the driveway while trying to pick up a basketball, which he just carries around everywhere and will not substitue with any smaller ball that would be easier to carry. He got a large bump and bruise on the left side of his forehead to match the one on the right side from bumping the table earlier in the day.
Elijah wiped out while playing basketball and did a really good job skinning up a large area near his elbow requiring very large bandaids and a sucker!
Anika wrapped up the evening by wiping out on her bike and taking a gouge out of her knee, bleeding a lot, telling me she is shaking, I directing her to sit down so she does not pass out as she is freaking out because blood is pouring down her leg immediately. This required a lot of cleaning, discussion about stitches and then Shawns handywork to butterfly the wound.
I am glad we were prepared!!!
