Ninjas

Congrats to my boys on their latest TaeKwonDo graduation! Stuart got his white stripe, Daniel moved up to gold stripe, and Joshua is now in the high-belt class with a green belt!

My Hero!

The Hero

I have a little extra time on my hands right now...well, hand, since I only have the use of the left one right now! I was trying to open the jammed sliding glass door of the medicine chest in the boys' bathroom when the door jumped the track, fell out and smashed in the sink.

At first I was relieved that the glass landed in the sink and not in the bath where Joshua was sitting, but then I noticed the blood pouring from my hand...literally pouring. Joshua has a very adverse reaction to blood and has fainted at the sight of it, so I ran downstairs and asked Daniel to help. Stuart was out running and didn't have his phone. I couldn't think what to do but Daniel sprang into action and called one of the neighbors who said she'd be right over. Daniel decided to try to hurry her up by going outside!

Meanwhile, I managed to convince Joshua to get out of the bath and get dressed in case he needed to go to the neighbor's house. When my neighbor, Kim, came over we realized we needed another adult to watch our kids so she could take me to the emergency room. We called another neighbor and he came right over. While Kim and I were on our way to the ER, Stuart came home and got the story! He came to the ER and relieved Kim, and stayed with me while I got 10 stitches. It's healing well so hopefully I'll be back to normal soon!
