It was POURING down rain this morning...so no running for this lady! I am feeling the wedding food settling in from the weekend. I need to exercise, badly!

Good Mama? Bad Mama? Not sure yet...
In the 20 minutes that it actually stopped raining yesterday afternoon, Dub went to play football with the 3 little boys who live next door. Their mom came over carrying Dub, who was crying, saying that the middle child accidentally stepped on his toe. I babied him for a few minutes, and he told me that he was ok, but he mooped and moaned and limped all night. Now, I don't think he is old enough to know how to fake an injury (at least not with that amount of effort and for so long), but I was beginning to think he might be a little over dramatic. I touched it and bent it and he wiggled it and everything else. It was not swollen or bruised. He told me he didn't want to go to the doctor and that it was ok. So, we gave hime some tylenol and put him to bed last night.
This morning, he wakes up and he is still complaining about the toe. There were tears when he put his shoes on. I told him I would take him to the doctor and again, he bucked up and said no.
I emailed his teacher to watch him...just in case there is something broken...I certainly do not want to be the mom who DIDN'T take her child to the doctor with a broken bone!!
I think I might run him by the doc-in-a-box after school to get an x-ray, just in case.
I'll let you know!

October!!!!!
This has to be my favorite month of the year!!! I love all things October! The weather, Ben's birthday, the leaves changing colors and falling, going to the Pumpkin Patch, Fall Festival at school, the Fall Bazaar at church, the Alabama-Tennessee game, and of course, Halloween!!!
I have mentioned my obsession with Halloween before, but it is about to get put into high gear!
The country club costume contest is on the 25th, so....game on!!
The kids have won 3 years in a row and I take it pretty seriously...here are our past contest-winning costumes...
2009 "The Chef's Special: Lobster Sis" |
2010 Pebbles and Bam Bam |
2011 Steve Jobs and his beloved iPhone |
And this year...well, I can't tell you that yet.
But there will be plenty of time and effort put into it and it is a good one! Pics to come, no doubt!
