As a mother of boys I learned early that I would not be spending my days having tea parties, but rather digging for worms, catching bugs, playing ball, etc. I learned later, however that I would be spending a lot of my days in the ER! I love everything about being my boys mom. Well, everything except the Emergency room visits. My last trip was with Spencer this past Saturday. My heart sank when the nurse said to me "Hey I remember you, you are here a lot! How is your other son doing?" She was the same nurse Skyler had 2 weeks ago when he injured the ligaments in his knee playing football and now here I was with Spencer who broke his finger playing basketball during recess. The kicker is that he didn't tell his teacher because he didn't want to miss his recess! So when I picked him up from school he said, "Mom I hurt my finger today". I looked down at his purple, swollen to double the size, crooked finger and said "You sure did!" I told him not to be such a tough guy next time! It is funny how they never seem to hurt themselves doing the dangerous things they like to do- like for example climbing trees with saws or chopping firewood with an axe. I probably shouldn't have said that! Lord, Please protect them! Oh, and please let me keep my sanity, I have grown very fond of it!
P.S. Please pray for Brandon this week. He is having oral surgery on Thurs. and is very nervous about it. Thanks everyone!
