Well, yesterday was a busy day. We finished off the plant boxes. Rescued my neighbors dog who escaped from their fence and went to the Film fest. I was running early (amazing!), so I thought that I would stop by my local grocery store to pick up a few of my Rx's. Well, that was a big mistake. I should know that picking up prescriptions is never a quick job, but I had half an hour and thought that I should have plenty of time! OOPs, poor Max and I stood in line for quite a while and it was 1:25 when we left the local neighborhood store (which I am currently boy-cotting b/c their prices are way too high!) Anyway, we arrived at Sequoia MS at 1:35, already late and needed to sign in at the office before the film fest. We were rushing through the parking lot and splat ... Poor Max really hit the pavement! Everything went in slow motion for a moment and I hoped that it would be one of those miraculous falls where nothing is hurt and you can't understand why? But as he stood up I saw the blood gushing from his knee. So I got him to stop crying (don't ask me how?) and ushered him into the office. Luckily, they have a clinic (which they call Health Office here?) and he got all bandaged up. While we were there of course, the cell phone rings .... "Mom where are you? are you coming? " So I explained to Maddie what had happened that we were actually at the school, but only in the health office/clinic getting bandaged. So Maddie told everyone at the film fest what had happened. Meanwhile, poor Max is sure that he can not bend his knees and what I thought was one knee injury turned into two knees and an elbow all scraped up. We arrive at the film fest and everyone says "OOOH" to Max. Then Maddie's teacher, (who she believes is not so very nice), gave Max two sponge bob band-aids and a stuffed Ewok to hold onto. Max proceeded to throw the Ewok on the floor! But "princess" teacher (the teacher's self given moniker!) took it all in stride and played right off of Max. Comedy ensued and there was much giggling by all! Unfortunatley, the trauma of falling and all the attention from like 20 grown ups and 11 almost grown ups, left him feeling a little upset. But, being the big trooper, brave boy that he is, his little eyes only welled up and he did not cry. He asked me afterwards why everyone was laughing at him? Poor guy! We ate some snacks ... the lofthouse sugar cookies do wonders for a young man's mood and then we watched the movies. They were very good. Max sat next to me very quietly with hands folded neatly in lap and laughed at the movies. The taydie show (Maddie's movie) was his favorite! The girls did a good job and got it done by the deadline! Then, Princess teacher took out the new yearbooks that Maddie and her classmates have been working on all year! But, they could not keep them, so when the bell rang, back in the box they went. Anyway, the yearbook looked GREAT! I am interested in seeing it up close soon!
After our adventures at Sequoia MS, I took Max to soccer practice and to play at the playground. He was fine despite his injuries, until he decided to take off one of the band-aids! Then he felt injured all over AGAIN and decided he could not practice, but managed to play a little bit at the playground when practice was over. Apparently one of Max's teammates has a crush on him. He was playing chase with her and when she came over to get a drink, I asked her "Is Max giving you a hard time?" She said "Max is giving me a HEART ATTACK!". She had a huge grin on her face! She even blew off her best friend to chase after Max! The best friend was not too sure about the whole sitch, but decided she would join the chase game, so Max ended up with two beautiful young 4 year old's chasing after him! He is becoming quite the ladies man, when his knee was hurt during practice, he decided he would keep the coach's daughter company, while she did her soccer practice grass picking! He even ditched ME to go sit with her! I think having an older sister must give him some great insight on young women!
I wrenched my back trying to put him on the little kid's sized zip line! Ouch, I still feel a little stiff today!
Almost overslept this morning to delivery Maddie to school. At 7:00 am I rolled over to snooze a little more. Don turned off the alarma and at 8:20 I heard the garage door open and looked over him to see the clock. Opps! Both he and I wonder if Maddie was gonna knock on our door, or if she would just plant herself in front of the tv and be late to school. I was still so half asleep that I could barely see from the sleepers in my eyes. I was really glad that she didn't have to wake us up , b?c i would have heard about it everytime that I have to wake her up. "Mom, remember that time ...." Anyway, thank goodness for small miracles, cuz I just happened to wake up. It will be nice to sleep in when school is over. Bet, my sil will take to calling at 8 am again! 8-)
Maddie and her pals went to the mall this evening. Max and I stopped in and had some Mickey D's. He played in the mall play place and wouldcha know it as soon as he went into the play area, splat right down on the ground again. I am strting to think it may be his new shoes are too big! Luckily, it is soft and carpeted, he lost one of his band-aids though. He played for a while and then we came home.
Last soccer game tomorrow. I'll be sad to see it end, we have had a fun season.
Not much else, played phone tag with Rainey for alittle while today. Hope that she and Grandpap are hanging in during their ordeal. Picked up some see's candies to send to Grandpap, hope that will brighten his day! Anyway can't believe that it is hotter in Pittsburgh than here. It was actually cold when I picked up Max from school.
That's it for me today. Oh, Max's teachers liked their flower boxes and Max explained to them all about dusty miller, how it just looks dusty but won't really get you dirty! It turned out to be a really cute teacher gift and I saw quite a few parent's looking at me like "gee, I wish I thought of that!" It felt really good to do something nice too!
That is it .. I really mean it this time! Toodles and tata for now! Hugs, kisses, kisses, hugs, SO cal trixie
