Bad mom, BAD

I am a terrible mother. The school nurse called yesterday to say that we should get Andy because his pinkie was swollen and purple. It hadn't been in the morning, but I guess it got worse. Andy decided we should come get him after lunch. So we got him, took him to the pediatrician who recommended an x-ray. The x-ray facility was shut down for an hour and a half for an inspection, so we waited, then got the x-ray, then waited for the results to be transmitted to the pediatrician, who called about an hour later and said there was a bone chip and we should go to the ER to have it splinted. So spouse took Andy to the ER and I went to pick up the kids we pick up after school on Wednesday. Andy is quite happy to have an outward symbol of his injury. He even wanted to go to CCD so he could show his friends his new splint. Thankfully, he is not in any significant pain. But now we have to go and see a hand specialist next week. I am hopeful that he'll have a full recovery.

Okay. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

We made grilled swordfish and broccoli in foil packets on the grill. I used lime, lime zest, salt and pepper on the swordfish and it was delicious!

Andy hung out with the neighborhood kids last night. There is no school today and tomorrow AND MONDAY! (ooo! I felt like Jane for just a moment!) so there was no need for an early bedtime. The kids made a kind of crop circle with leaves in one of the neighbor's yards and had a "dance party." I guess that means some kids dance and some kids judge. Andy judged. He is so his mother's son.

My mother was happy to receive one of her new canes.

Today we are watching a friend's son who is also Andy's friend, so the Mom can go and spend the day with her Mom in hospice.

Dinner tonight: pulled pork sandwiches.

And for now, that's all I got.
