Here we go again...

I have been looking forward to this weekend for quite a while. J took the girls to the beach to help his mom with some yardwork and I got some much-needed "me time." I was really ready for a break and some time alone. As much as I looked forward to it, I still got a little choked up as J drove off with the girls. I missed them almost as soon as they were gone.

Still, I made the most of my time alone. I did some solo shopping (okay, more than some), watched Jersey Shore and ate junk food. Today I spent the day with some great friends working on our scrapbooks and drinking mimosas. I was just cozying up to enjoy some internet surfing, when J called to say that he was headed to the ER with Little A...my heart dropped.

Luckily, it was nothing life-threatening. J had gone down the slide with Little A and her foot twisted. She was having trouble putting weight on it and it was a little swollen so he went to get it checked out. They said nothing was broken and put some tape on it as a precautionary measure. We'll follow up with our pediatrician next week.

Um...that's a pj top that she's wearing...another reason mommies are needed. :-)

Sigh...I can't stand not being there when my babies aren't feeling well. Suddenly my "me time" seems a lot less important. However, I know she's in great hands and she'll be back in my arms tomorrow.

I just have to ask - does everyone with kids spend this much time at the ER, or is it just us?

p.s. And as a follow-up to my "nerves" posts, well, I didn't get the job. But hey, that just means more time with my girls. I'm really looking forward to spending some sunny spring/summer days with them. Just no slides for awhile.
