This morning the middle and I head to the doctor for a quick check of his hand. He had yet another longboarding incident last Friday (my mom knows this now so I'm free to talk) and what should have been a minor fall landed him in the ER for an unsightly wound on his right hand. Three hours and five stitches later, we went home with the question, "Are you gonna tell Granny about this?" Doesn't a granny always find out, though? There is very little I don't tell my mom and when it comes to my kids... well, there isn't anything I don't tell her (as my kids think, WHAT?!). At any rate, his hand is pretty swollen at the moment and feels warm to the touch, so off to the doctor we will go. I'm expecting a prescribed round of antibiotics and a morning drop-off at school. It's going to be too nice of a day to sit around in a doctor's office.
And a nice day it will be, indeed. Temps back up to the mid-70s have me planning on opening every window in the house and doing some serious cleaning. I'm not proud to say that I have let this house go in the last week or so, but an afternoon of me staying focused ought to change that. I've been spending most afternoons sitting outside reading my literature homework which, for the most part, I have really enjoyed. The house (and the fridge) have suffered, though. I haven't been grocery shopping since last week and today we are officially out of sugar. What Sweet Italian Creme is for my coffee, a cup and three-quarters worth of sugar is necessary for our tea. The family will slip into a slow meltdown if I don't have a pitcher of the state drink of the south on hand for them to sip.
On a random note, the youngest was informing me this morning of solar flares while the husband was telling me yesterday about asteroid insurance. We stood under the stars for the longest time last night talking a universe that is too big for us to know everything about.
And I can't even venture down that road right now.
I've got too much to get done today that leaves no room for philosophy.
Besides, I'd rather enjoy the world than analyze it.
Happy Cleaning!
