I did NOT need this right now!!

Ok most people that know me very well know I'm a klutz. Well for once I didn't do it!! ANyway Saturday night I was standing at the fridge getting ready to get the milk out and Chris grabbed the FAMILY size bottle of hershey's syrup and dropped it right on the top of my foot. By morning my foot was swollen and hurt so bad that I could hardly walk on it. So off to the urgent care center. That was a big mess and I won't go into details. Anyway I finally go xrays taken and go the results. NO break was showing on the xrays. So I was sent home w/my right foot wrapped in an ace bandage, wearing a post op boot and on crutches.

I have learned the hard way I need to stay off it and not think I am super mommy and still do everything. I had to do that Tuesday and I was paying for it by Tuesday night/early Wed morning. Also Wed I went to see the orthopedic surgeon and she said the keep it well supported, try to not bend my foot and stay off it as much as I can. IF it's still not better in 2 wks to call and they will send me for another set of xrays to check for a hairline fracture. She also said it could take 4-6 wks or longer for this to totally heal and get back to normal.

Now the swelling has gone down and I am using athletic wrap to support my foot and I can actually get my tennis shoe on!! So that means I can drive again!! Here is a pic of my foot all bandaged up. I'll try to get one of the bruise later on.

Anyway this is gunna be an adventure with flying to Salt Lake City, Utah on Sunday and Kathleen and Benjamin having Surgery next Monday. THen we fly home on Wednedsday. We're gunna be a sight in the airport that's for sure!!

Trip to Virginia

I flew out there on 7/14 to be there for my Nanny's funeral the next morning. I spent the rest of the week hanging out with my brother, cousins and my two aunts. It turned out to be a really great trip. I even had a chance to see my best friend. We met at a mall in Greensboro, NC and spent the afternoon shopping.

Kayleigh bday invitation

Ok so I have way too much fun with crafts:) Here is what I did for her birthday party invitations

I cut the star shape out of white card stock and left one corner connecting both sides of the card. Then I cut a star out of the star cardstock. Used my tape runner to connect it to the white card. Then I printed the info on just plain printer paper and cut them out. Then I cut a star out of the confetti vellum and attatched it at the top where the card folds. I love how this came out!! Now to go make the other 3 :)
