It has been a pretty busy week! About half way through I was trying to be Super Mom, Super Wife, Super Worker, Super Christian and as I pulled into the WalMart parking lot on my lunch break from work; to buy Milk (because Mike said we were out), camping supplies for their weekend trip (although I didn't have a list and was just guessing what they would need) and the perfect dinner which would be ready for the kids and I at 6pm and still good for Mike at 7pm, I honestly said to myself "if I put one more thing on my plate I'm going to lose it"! And I had a serious conversation with God. I knew that all these balls I was trying to juggle were really not a priority because they were not His priority, but mine . . . then the phone rang. It was the Principal (not a good sign), Amber had fallen at school and he thought I should look at it. So, I finally threw all the balls I had been juggling out the window and gladly headed for the school. Seriously, it didn't even take one minute, as I was talking to God he answered me by putting priorities in order for me.
Amber was shaken up, but okay. She had a big goose egg on her head with a scratch that caused it to bleed until the next morning. She had scrapes on one knee, but the other knee was the problem. She had a chunk of skin that was hanging on by a little bit and the nurse thought we should go the Dr. to see if he wanted to clip it off (yuck). Well, my day was on a new track anyway, no going back to work or get the shopping done during lunch. Amber and I headed home for chicken noodle soup (okay she wasn't sick but it's what I eat when I'm not 100%, and she was not 100%). When the Dr. finally got us in he said "since she was not an ugly boy" he didn't want to clip it off but would hope that it might heal. Okay, so he didn't do anything and I wanted to get my money's worth since we have a $30 co-pay, so I had Amber get three shots (I'm so kind). She was due her 2nd Hep A and I found out while I was there she was due her 2nd Chicken Pox shot, and while we are at it the flu shots were in so go ahead and do that too. Amber was awesome. She was being sooo silly with the Dr. I knew a few shots were not going to push her over the edge even if she was banged up.
So, now it's Saturday, her knee is still bandaged and cleaned twice a day, her other bumps are going away but her eye still looks swollen and now it is black. Three days after the accident she just now gets the black eye. I remember that happened a lot when she was little and learning to walk. She would hit her head and get a bump, then a few days later have a black eye.
No pictures (although I really wanted to take a picture of her eye). My Man is camping with the boy for Scouts and has the camera. For our girls weekend Amber and I will go to the Chihuahua movie and dinner at Red Robin (we have certificates). I think we will all have a great time. I told Amber her eye looked like she had some heavy eye shadow on and I offered to do mine to match . . . she just shook her head.
Okay, so they are back from camping and I did get a picture of her eye. Couldn't resist. She is has been sooo good about it! I'm proud of her =)

Wow! So happy to hear she is ok!!
Isn't it funny how things happen & our perspective gets crystal clear?!
I love how you said "the balls were thrown out the window"!!
How in the world did she fall at school and get that hurt? Poor thing! I, like Jen, love the balls comment! I'm glad you are having a mom and daughter wknd!
Wow, poor Amber! Hope she is healing well now. What fun times to have a girls weekend, while the boys were away. I always thought we'd do that if we had a boy and girl, but we've got two girls and I couldn't be happier being Mom to my girls!
