My Weekend By The Numbers 2

by Jodifur on April 5, 2010

Remember this?  I liked it so much, I revived it. 

1: Trip to the ER.  Everyone is fine.  Michael collided with another child at a birthday party and was really complaining of pain in his side.  We called the pediatrician when the complaining became extreme and his side felt really hard.  Our ped talked about spleen rupture and broken ribs on the phone, and recommended a trip to the ER for an x-ray.  I thought this sounded a bit extreme, but what do I know?    The ER doctor released us with a clean bill of health but a list of things to watch for.  We got home and Michael of course started to have something not on the list.

2: Hours of freaking out if the thing Michael had was related to the blow he received or totally random.

3: Glasses of wine consumed during the freak out.  (Doug didn't consume in case we needed to go back to the ER.  We didn't.  Child slept like a rock that night.)

4: Hours by Michael spent running around the the next day after the Dr. told him to "take it easy."  Doug analogized this to the time a vet told his parents to "keep the cat off it's feet."

5:  Other bruises the ER doctor noticed on Michael.  I felt at the time it was necessary to mention I worked in child abuse.  I didn't think it matter but I started to get nervous.  He actually had just fallen at the playground the day before and got a bloody nose.  Baltimoregal on twitter said that he needed a "whole body armor."  I'm starting to agree.

7: New aps installed on my OLD iphone when I realized it still worked.  I could give it to Michael to run his aps and reclaim my iphone for phone calls.  It can't go online or make phone calls.  WIN, WIN.

10: Hours spent outside on a gorgeous Sunday.  Almost makes up for all the snow storms.  Notice I said almost.

12: Hundred times I really, really, missed bread.  How do people go low carb?  When is Passover over already?

I hope everyone had lovely Passover and Easter celebrations, or just a lovely Spring Weekend.

What do your weekend numbers look like?

Glad that Michael is okay! I love your by the numbers…I think I might just have to follow suit and do my own!

Yes, glad he’s doing well. And they totally should make body armor for kids!

Oh no! I’m so glad he’s okay. Hate days like that. At least you got some outside time, right?

My weekend by the numbers is depressing:
16: hours spent in a Photoshop class
5: hours of sleep I got each night
0: hours I got to spend celebrating Easter.
Glad Michael is doing well!
