I put the roast in the crock pot this morning knowing that it would be a busy day subbing in primary and preparing for seminary. When we returned home from church the smell was very welcoming. The kids were excited to come to the table, especially Noah who hopped onto the chair to survey the spread. Unfortunately, as he jumped up he wobbled off his seat and slammed his chin on the kitchen table. We debated whether or not he needed stitches and thought he probably did.
We didn't have a lot of time. Our regular pediatrician's office was closed, but instacare was open for one more hour. That was a smarter choice than the expense of a trip to the ER. We left the kids with family and drove Noah to instacare. He was extremely nervous and we described for him the best that we could what would happen. We said a little prayer and arrived at the empty office.
After some tears and lots of questions trying to keep his mind preoccupied the numbing medicine kicked in and the doctor closed him up. Noah got a awesome pirate pillow to help comfort him and we got a $270 bill. Yikes! Who knew Sunday dinner was a contact sport?
Also, I wanted to be sure to document that many Sundays Aaron will walk with the kids to church. I love that he does this and so do the kids. Plus, that gives me an extra 20 minutes to myself to prepare for the sacrament. Just wish we had sidewalks...
