As for present day, today we went down to the local spring to load up some milk jugs with water. I think we take like 25 or so jugs each time we go. In goes quick in this house, though as I try to drink at least a gallon per day. It's great, though, as the water is free and very clean. Much better than our tap water! It was only 25º today (the past few days it has been 7, 4, 3, 2, etc...) but my fingers and toes still throbbed like no one's business! I definitely new boots and gloves. The ones I have now are a sorry excuse!
I wish we had a spring here. The closest one is almost an hour away though.
I have to shave my family. Hair gets into everything!!
I cover the bathroom floor and vanity in newspaper when i do mine. That way it is a lot easier to clean up.
Today, I learned the definition of fear.
As I was working, an announcement came over the intercom saying they needed me in the office, which almost never happens. So I knew something was up.
As I get closer, I see my assistant run out of the office with my keys. He runs to me down the hallway and said the babysitter called and she needed me....it was an emergency.
My cellphone had six missed calls, all from the babysitter. As I was driving across town, I called and all I could hear was the baby screaming. It was all I could do to keep it on the road.
When I got there, the baby had rolled off the bed and landed on the hardwood floor. Last night, the baby rolled three times in one direction. We forgot to tell her. So she was laying in the bed playing with the baby and before she knew it, the baby was out of arms reach and her legs was hanging off the bed, from thigh down....she started sliding and the babysitter grabbed her hand as she went over the side, but her hand slipped out of hers. She hit her head on the ground.
My cousin is a doctor and lives 1/2 between our town and the hospital. She met me on the interstate and jumped in the truck with me. You can't imagine how I felt when she said, "Ballcoach, slow down. Bambina is fine. She's gonna be fine."
And she is....has a good little knot, but she is fine. No broken bones, no concussion, all good.
The emotion and stress of it has hit me in the past hour...I'm soooo tired. I'm about to head off to bed. But you better believe I will give thanks tonight, more than usual.
Y'all have a good night. Can't wait to spend the weekend with everyone here and I can't wait for all the football fun.
Glad she is okay, friend!!! That is scary.
Merry Friday! We are here again, another week closer to our favourite time of year. I can't believe it is the end of the month already.
Not much planned for weekend. I am in work for part of it and the rest of it will be spent just indoors. We tend to hibernate on weekends during the cold months lol!
Tonight we are watching an old movie , Affair in Trinidad with the beautiful Rita Hayworth. I bought this ages ago and haven't watched it yet. Tomorrow we will watch a family film , Jack and the Giant Slayer so looking forward to those.
Looking forward to this evening when everyone gets in and we can just get in our pyjamas and chill.
What are you all up to this weekend?
Have a fun start to the weekend everyone!!
Hope you guys have a fun night and enjoy your weekend!!
