I picked up Andrew from Randi's house on Friday and his forehead was bleeding. Right in between his eyes. I was informed that he was standing on a plastic toy in the toy room and the toy slipped out from under him and he landed forehead-first on a wooden train table. This was at 11:00 am. I picked him up at 5:15 pm so I was a little concerned that it was seemingly still bleeding. Randi said the cut stopped bleeding pretty quickly after the incident, but started bleeding again after his nap. Maybe it was rubbed or something? It's a thick cut, but it doesn't appear to be too deep. I'm a little bummed that he will be scarred there forever, but I am praying that it will be a really light scar. I'm praying he won't scar as badly as I do. I guess he's a boy and stuff like that happens, huh?! I'm surprised it's taken 4 1/2 years for him to do something that will result in a scar! It's a really hard place for a band-aid, too, so I've had a hard time keeping Neosporin on it. The band-aid just gets soggy and comes off.
Anyway, the weekend seemed to fly by, but yesterday afternoon was NICE!
We had a hectic Sunday morning. I had to wake up a lot earlier than I normally do as I have volunteered to help Amy teach the preschool kids at the school we are renting out. Jeremy decided to join me at the school so he didn't have to drive his work truck separately to meet me at the later service.
After we helped out at the school we headed over to the new church for service. It was a little warm in there, but the message was good.
After all that excitement and all the newness of everything wore off, we realized how tired we were. We headed home for lunch and were amazed that we had no other places to be on our Sunday afternoon! We really took advantage of it, too! We had a nice lunch, I cleaned up the kitchen a little bit, Jeremy, Andrew and I laid down on my bed and watched Aladdin (Jeremy and I dosed off for a little bit during the movie), I started and finished all of our laundry, Jeremy fixed our tree that was falling over, we went on a ride in the fields by our house in Jeremy's work's Ranger, we had a nice dinner, and we were in bed before 10 pm (Andrew was in bed before 9 pm).
We felt our prayers of having more family time (just the 3 of us) were really answered this past week! It was nice!
This week will be another story. We have a D-backs game tonight (which we got free tickets for), we have a D-backs game on Friday (which we got free tickets for) and we have a concert (MercyMe) on Sunday evening. 3 of our normal nights at home will be spent far from home this week. That's a bummer (especially with gas prices how they are), but who can turn down 2 free D-backs games? Maybe I'll remember to take my camera to document these fun events. I'm really bad at that and I love reading other blogs where there is always pictures posted to go along with the writing! (Sorry beloved readers. I'll get better at my picture taking).
Oh, and Jade fixed my computer so I will post scrapbooking pictures and pictures of our blinds. Kind of old news, but pictures just the same!
On another note - ask Jeremy how much I enjoy him asking me if people can come over at the last minute. He will tell you that I can come up with 5 excuses off the top of my head at any given time why no one is allowed at our house without me being prepared. The reasons are usually one of two things: the downstairs hasn't been dusted, mopped, vacuumed, and the bathroom hasn't been cleaned in too long, or we don't have a very good selection of a meal for dinner and we don't have money to run out to the store and get a nice meal for company. I really enjoy having people over, but it stresses me out if I feel the house is a disaster. However, Amy told me of a website that should help with the house portion of my anxiety (and a little of my meal preparedness, too, actually). It's call Flylady. Check it out - I can tell it is going to save my sanity! Periodically I will do an update as to how I am doing following program.
