Love Hurts!

Oh, life is always interesting in this household...

...and I would never expect anything less from a day like today!

Just about everyone knows that, with the railroad, Adam's schedule is anything but normal.  That includes weekends, holidays, or just special days like Valentine's Day. 

So today, after working the night shift, Adam went to sleep and a friend came over so her boys and Landon could play.  Since her husband works for the railroad too, her "special day" was just a regular Tuesday as well.

Until this happened.....

Landon was playing like a boy (meaning rough and carefree for those who have only girls...) and then came the tumble and cry.

I shrugged it off, said "Oh you are fine", no big deal.

Then came the blood.....lots of blood!

I tried a towel....that just cleared enough of it away to see the deep split that had been created.  I tried a band-aid to stop the bleeding, and in 10 minutes, we were taking off a 2nd soaked bandage.

So off to the ER we go.....

The first thing they ask when we get there:  "Do you need a wheelchair?"

I couldn't imagine why a little boy with a busted chin needed a wheelchair then realized they thought I was in labor.....

Anyway, back to see the doctor and get stitched up!

They slapped some numbing gel on there to get it good and numb before starting:

That made things feel much better, so Landon felt fine to play around as usual...

Tape, anyone??

So, after some serious screaming (completely broke my heart!!) and some major love from Mom, we were all put back together!

And back to feeling like our old selves in no time!

"Cookie for the Doggie??"

Lessons for the day: 

Everything will always happen on the days when you least expect it.

Boys are tough cookies!

Scars can be cool....according to Adam, they are great for "getting chicks".

Love sure does hurt sometimes! 

Happy Valentine's Day!
