Too much excitement

The past four days have been full of ups and downs.  On Thursday as I was walking into the June E. Nylen Center I heard a thump sound.  I turned around to see that, somehow, items had fallen out of my purse and onto the floor.  I picked them up and put them back in my purse.  On my way home I discovered that my cell phone was no longer in my purse.  My drivers called the phone to see if it had fallen out in the vehicle.  (I was worried that the ringer had been turned down.)  When I got home I tried to call my phone, but ... it seemed hopeless.  I called the June E. Nylen Center and asked if a cell phone had been turned in.  They had a cell phone, but not my cell phone.

Meanwhile, Ted had fallen at daycare and people were trying to call and text me...Ted had cut his chin open.  Our daycare provider didn't know if he needed stitches or not.  Ryan finally called our home phone and by this time it was 4:15.  I was hoping that we would not need to go to the E.R. As it turned out, Ted's cut stopped bleeding and it did NOT need stitches.

So Friday came and I still hadn't found my cell phone.  My Friday drivers were the same as my Thursday drivers, so I looked in the vehicle again on the drive to Sioux City.  No one in the June E. Nylen center had found my cell phone.  On the way home I just happened to look in the basket full of maps and guide books.  I could hardly believe my eyes, there was my phone!  I had gotten at least four phone calls and my ringer had indeed been turned all the way down.

Saturday morning got off to a rough start.  Ted fell and hit his head on a stool in our rec room in the basement.  He had a cut close to his eye.  We all had to hurry and find clothes (we were all still in pajamas) so we could take Ted to the E.R.  Thank goodness the E.R. wasn't busy.  They were able to fix his cut with glue and told us to watch for a concussion.  All said it took us less than an hour, which is pretty good for E.R.

We have tried to keep things low profile for the remainder of the weekend.  On Saturday I had to take Bennadryl for a strange rash.  I don't know why I keep getting a rash.  At this point I would be happy to see anyone who could tell me why I keep getting a rash and what I can do to get rid of the rash.  Bennadryl is like taking a sleeping potion, and isn't really a good long term solution.  I hope that Monday will be a rash-free day!
