Frazzled...

Wow have I stopped shaking? ...I think I have... whew. I just got home from work a little bit ago. Wow today wasn't that great of a day. This morning the kids were terrible, the preschoolers at least. After nap, things were going pretty smoothly. We took the kids outside and let them play on the actual playground (rather than just on the patio, since it wasn't muddy.) Things were going great until Christian (a 4 year old) was swinging on the little jungle-gym bar we have that's like 2 feet off the ground, fell off and broke his arm. And I mean broke his arm...very obviously. It was horrible. I called his parents and they came and got him and took him to the E.R. I was so worried about him, and still am! I also can't help but feel like it's partially my fault. I wasn't the only one out there of course, but still. I know kids fall though and his mom is wonderful and very understanding so I'm not worried about that being a problem. Of course it also happens the day our boss is home sick. (I'm hoping she's not mad...when Erica talked to her on the phone she wasn't happy, but I think it was maybe the initial shock, because when she called back later to get Christian's phone number she didn't sound upset.) So yea that's been my day! Pray for little Christian though, I know he'll be alright but a broken arm surely doesn't feel good!!!!!

ANYWAY I'm just trying to calm myself down. My stomach's been in knots, I've been shaking and on the verge of tears. The shaking was due to the initial sight of his arm and the "oh my gosh" reaction...my stomach is all in knots from being worried and I was on the verge of tears because just seeing how much he was hurt. Sandi held him real still and we of course put ice on it and called his parents immediately and told them what had happened. But yea it's still pretty nerve-wracking...


Hopefully my evening will be better though. We're clogging at the nursing home tonight, and I'll get to see Seth as well so that'll be good. I really wish I could talk to him, he always makes me feel better, but calling him now will do no good because he's not home, he's staying afterschool to make more of those easter eggs.

Alright well I'm gonna go now. TTFN!
