Another shot

So I'm giving this blogging thing another shot. I tried once before and failed to be as creative as I wanted to be. I just came off as depressed. LOL

This time'll be different. I have inspiration from some of my friends.

I'm sitting here thinking about what to write and listening to Nathan and Nicholas beating the tar out of each other. I DEFINITELY have boys! LOL

On the topic of the boys beating each other silly, I had to take Nathan into the ER yesterday because he had fallen over Nicholas a few days back and smacked his face on a toy. His left cheekbone is scraped and bruised. I had been treating him at home but yesterday he refused to eat because it hurt so bad. I thought maybe he had something like a hairline fracture of the jaw the way he was carrying on. So off we trot to the Stollery Hospital.

The intern starts his exam and starts asking a lot of questions about Nathan's past history of injuries. This kid has had a concussion (from tripping over the cat), a split lip that almost needed plastic surgery (from a face plant on a slide), a hole inside his lip from biting it, several black eyes, and a different injury to his left cheekbone (from climbing on a chair and falling onto his toy bin). He has bruises up and down his legs and arms and scratches on his belly.

I can account for almost every mark on his body. The way the intern was interogating me...well, let's just say that I'm not an idiot, I know he was checking for abuse issues. It was almost laughable except for the seriousness of the accusation. I actually felt guilty and I know that I've done nothing wrong. I guess I should be happy that the hospital is vigilant about it. Still, it freaked me out.

My boys play hard. They never look before they leap and unfortunately, that leads to injuries. As it turns out, Nathan's problem had nothing to do with the fall on the toy, he has a bad molar. Guess what Mommy's doing Tuesday morning! LOL

So there it is...my drama. What would my life be like without drama? Pretty boring I think.
