*********************************************
on monday evening craig & i were looking forward to our free night with no plans or practices.
and then i heard a SCREAM outside that was so loud and annie yelling "I BROKE MY ARM!!! ITS BROKEN!!!"
i doubted for about five minutes but then i felt her arm.
yeah….
i called craig & he was on his way home from work "i think annie broke her arm. i am taking her to the ER".
he said he would meet us there.
two hours later they determined it was definitely broken.
we expected it to just be a cast and we'd go home.
then a dr came in and said "it's a really bad break. REALLY BAD. we need to do surgery"
what?!
so at 9 PM they took her in and put her under.
that was very hard to let her go.
a piece of her bone broke off and was floating in her arm.
they put two pins in her elbow to hold it in place until it heals.
she's smiling but it was just for the camera.
she and i slept in the hospital (if you can call it sleep) monday night to keep an eye on everything.
we headed home late morning….dead tired.
we both rested all day yesterday.
the doctor says a cast comes next week.
she is hoping for lime green but thought red and blue for KU would be cool too.
we've got some serious bedhead going on that we will have to deal with today….
she slept all night last night.
i just feel so bad for her.
she is miserable.
i think we will paint nails and toenails today.
and finish her chapter book.
and we watched Crocodile hunter this morning…. how much tv can one person watch?!
so send up some prayers for annie when you think of her.
and on a completely different subject………..
Craft Weekend was on the local news!
they interviewed us before the last CW and then came back AT craft weekend during our apron making.
some of our guests were interviewed about why they came.
i was really nervous about the whole thing but i think it turned out well.
it's pretty cool.
ok….another cup of coffee is needed.
and i am going to do 7 loads of laundry today.
i am.
keep me accountable.
make sure i do it.
cause my laundry situation is downright embarassing right now.
i have let it go for far too long.
sitting at the hospital knowing i needed clothes and dreading the thought of having a friend go into my house to look for my clothes was mortifying.
1. i doubt i had any clean underwear for me.
2. to get to my clean clothes….you had to climb the mountain of dirty clothes first…seriously a safety risk.
so today i am playing nurse, manicurist and laundry aid.
what are you doing today?
getting ready to cook? are you hosting thanksgiving? what kind of pie are you making?
cathy - Poor baby….. so sorry to hear she was hurt:(
Tracy Fisher - so sorry to hear about annie. but it sounds like she got an awesome nurse (you). i cannot quit laughing about your laundry pile. mine is the same way!! now, don’t you feel better??? i once asked my kids if we should just live from the pile. obviously everything they liked was in it because they keep wearing and washing the same things. closets are wasted space. i should turn mine into an art studio. haha.
Tiffany - Awww, poor thing 🙁 Feel better Annie!
jeannett - ACK!!!
i just saw this!
how awful!
what was she doing? none of my kids have broken bones yet, but i keep waiting for it to happen…but surgery for it? that’s terrible. poor girl! poor you!!!!
hugs friend.
Christina - I read the other post first…goodness! What a night. I hope as the days go by, the pain is not so bad. I’m praying for you guys!
Wendy - Feel better soon Annie!!!
Sandy - Praying for Annie. I love the news clip! You deserve the recognition!! So proud of you!
Sarah E. - So sorry! 2 1/2 years ago my son broke his arm at the McDonald indoor playland on vacation. We assumed the same thing, get a cast on and be gone. Nope surgery the next morning and 2 pins. Such a crazy time but so thankful for the wisdom God gave this doctor. My son has no problems at all now!
Katherine @ Grass Stains - Ohhh, Annie. So sorry for Annie! I hope it heals quickly and I suppose if it had to happen, maybe it’s better to have happened in the winter than in the summer, when they are outside so much more? It’s possibly I’m reaching too far for a glass-half-full outlook here. 😉 Hope you guys had a blessed Thanksgiving.
Ashley - The news clip came out so great! I am so happy for you and Kimberlee 🙂
jennyonthespot - OH ANNIE! Bless her heart, and yours, Meg. That was quite the break 🙁 Glad she’s healing up… hope you got those 7 loads done… what an AWESOME piece on Craft Weekend (I am SO proud of you!) and… hope your thanksgiving was surprisingly lovely 🙂 xoxox
Lisa - I saw the KAKE news story – Congratulations! I bet you get a lot more local ladies signing up this week! Happy Thanksgiving!
Tiffany - i will be praying for Annie. (no pain and quick recovery)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to YOU and YOURS!
i cooked half of my stuff yesterday and finished the rest this morning.
we are my MIL and i’m enjoying being out of the house.
i opted for cobblers this year.
a blueberry and peach…
yumm-o
Kori - Oh, poor Annie!! I broke my arm twice as a little girl…get something long and thin for her to scratch up under her cast. She’ll need it! Luckily it happened at home and you could take her asap.
As far as I can tell there’s nothing a good mani/pedi can’t take one’s mind off of. 🙂
Hope you all get some good rest…
Kirsten J - Oh sweet Annie – I’m so sorry – my daughter and I saw this had happened on Twitter, and tried to comment. Ouch!! Praying for a quick healing. We are headed to my sister-in-law’s today, and while I am grateful for many things, including the fact that I dont have to clean house or cook a turkey…..she is always so proud of her “healthy” pies….made with Splenda. Seriously. Yuck. She insists “you can’t even taste it!” and I’m sorry, but you can. I only eat pie maybe two or three special days a year, and sadly, today I think I’ll pass….
Hope you get lime green, Annie!!!
Amy@littleforalittlewhile - Happy Thanksgiving! Hope Annie is on the mend, and that you are rocking that laundry situation!
colleen sullivan - feeling for you and Annie and sending good thoughts your way….at least everytone is around to help you out and relieve the boredom at thanksgiving!
karen - poor annie!! kids are resilient..i hope she feels better soon. How did she break it?
Michelle from Australia - Dear Annie, I hope your arm is much better soon.
Meg, prayers of strength for you, Annie and the family whilst her arm heals.
Kimberlee, thank you for remembering there is an Australian (or two or more??) who would LOVE to come to Craft Weekend 🙂
We are currently in San Francisco and we are looking forward to celebrating our first ever Thanksgiving tomorrow.
God Bless you all.
Karen Gerstenberger - God bless you and your sweet Annie! Spending the night in the hospital is hard. I bet that Annie will look back on this time and be very proud of herself, as she deserves to be. She is brave and strong.
We are hosting Thanksgiving. There will be 15 of us (I thought there would be 18!). Today, I prepared yams, green bean casserole, homemade cranberry sauce and set the table. Tomorrow, it will be time for Mr. Turkey, the stuffing and gravy, appetizers and beverages. Our guests are bringing all of the rest of the feast. We’re so happy that our precious friends are visiting from KANSAS & will be celebrating with us.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Meg!
Verna Lantz - Poor, sweet Annie. Prayers for her to be better soon. And for her to get that green cast.
Did you get that laundry done? I certainly hope so, young lady! 🙂
Busy all day with Thanksgiving prep and pie cooking
Pumpkin, pecan, lemon, and one devil’s chocolate cake (for my little one)
Next up: side dishes and the main man, or turkey, as the case may be.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Lori Austin - Oh sweet girl! Broken bones are NO fun (speaking from experience).
Sending your kiddo to surgery also no fun (speaking from MUCH experience).
Prayers for her healing and quickly passing days.
Great news coverage btw!
roganne - poor annie!! i broke a rib once and i felt terrible too 🙁 what an awful experience, but i hope lots of people sign her cool new cast! the news piece was so beautiful…you are truly an inspiration to all 🙂
Rita - I will pray for Annie’s healing and for the rest of the family. It’s very hard to have your child taken away for surgery – I’ve cried many tears along with my son when he was hurting. Let others help you and your family – it also is a hard thing to do, but a blessing to others to help you and in return, you are blessed, too. I’ve made my pumpkin pie bars and chocolate pecan pie for tomorrow – will get up early and get the ham and turkey on to cook. It’s a blessing to cook for my 87-year old mom and my siblings and families. May you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Robin C - too bad I don’t live near you because I would do your laundry in a heartbeat. Seriously, it’s my favorite household chore. yes, seriously!
So loved the news report on Craft Weekend. Uh-oh- your waiting list is bound to get even longer now.
Lindsey - Poor Annie! I hope it all goes okay and she heals quickly!!!!!
Amy - Oh sweet Annie! So sorry you broke your arm. I’ll bet you heal really fast. I broke my arm when I was your age by falling out of my tree house. I had a really yucky tummy ache until the Dr. fixed my arm. Hope your cast is super cool!
Kristin - Poor Annie…I hope she’s feeling better! And that you’ve done your laundry.
Karen - Oh poor Annie girl!!! Little bunny I am so sorry you broke your arm!!! Feel better soon! And poor mama – you are only as happy as your least happy child, right!?! Hugs and prayers for you all and Happy Thanksgiving!
Jacci in Ohio - Miss Annie, I’m praying for you, honey!
The Lord cares all about your arm, and He is with you all those long hours of uncomfortableness. He cares about YOU! And loves YOU, even when bad things happen. He is good.
Praying for you all, Megan. 7 loads of laundry? On little sleep? Maybe I should pray even MORE 😉
By the way… 900? Ugh. Maybe I didn’t want to know that number. I chop onions and make cheesecake! 😉 Bonus points?? ha ha. So excited for you that you have so much interest in CW. It’s a blessing to many, I’m certain!
ChristineW - Poor baby girl! I’m wearing lime green socks right now so that’s my vote for cast color! 🙂 I hope she is feeling better soon and rockin’ those nails! And I’m hearing ya’ on the laundry! HS soccer season just ended and thank goodness the older son came home from college with his clothes already washed!! YEA! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Michelle Bostinelos - Poor Annie!! That is really no fun 🙁 But great story on the news! I would love a chance to come to craft weekend…and I am on the waiting list 🙂
Andrea - Sending prayers for Annnie……getting ready to begin cooking….tonight…pecan pie, peanut butter pie( Iknow….not really thanksgiving material but requested, cranberry sauce, ham/cream cheese/ pickle rolls and stuffing…..tomorrow the rest! Happy Thanksgiving…good luck with that laundry. I hate laundry….
Gina - Prayers for fast healing for Annie! With six kids I know all about those piles of laundry…. You should be about half way done by now. Happy Thanksgiving…hope you and your family have fun!!!
Tanya - oh poor punkin’. hope she’s on the mend soon <3
And..yay!!!! for the news story 😀
My aunt was just here to do a craft show with my mom last weekend and they lived in Newton all of my growing up years. We drove from Canada many summers to visit. I told her about your blog and craft weekend 😀
tinaehb3 - looks like the poor thing has a radial head fracture…17 years of being a xray tech I’ve seen a ton of these 🙂 hope she feels better soon, you’ll be surprised when they xray her in a couple of weeks she’ll be good as new, kids bones are amazing!!! fun clip to watch!!
Courtney - Sweet angel! Poor girl and Mama! Glad she is doing OK! I am starting Thankgiving prep. Two pecan pies done (my girlfriend and I each bake two of the same and then swap), Cranverry sauce is done and PW’s skillet cornbread is in the oven for her cornbread sausage apple stuffing. Roasting sweet potatoes next and making the green bean casserole.
Happy Thankgiving to you. Hope you get some help with all that laundry!!!
Sara Torbett - Poor Annie! Praying her arm feels better and she is able to find something fun to keep her mind off being in bed!
My laundry was in piles a few days ago too…and it’s only my husband and I and one baby! It can pile up so fast. Here’s to hoping you had some good coffee, bright sunshine, and good music to jam to while accomplishing the 7 loads. 🙂
Today I am hanging out at home, after a trip to Target and Joann’s….dreaming up more things to do, waiting on arrival of Baby #2 any minute. 🙂 And decorating our outdoor area fancy for a date night with my husband after Little One #1 goes to bed. 🙂
Allison - Aww poor Annie. I hope she feels better. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
amber - Poor Annie:(. I broke my arm once, in a car accident. I had a lime green cast for 6 weeks. So, I say, go for it Annie;)!!! I remember my arm hurting the first few days, then I just had the nuisance of a cast for a while. Hopefully Annie will be the same. Praying for you guys! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Kristi Rediske - that is so sad about Annie-I pray that she gets to feeling better as soon as possible and the healing is perfect. I guess I am snoopy but how did she break it? I don’t think you said, if its none of my business thats ok-:) Just always curious about these things. Well have a Great Thanksgiving.
danielle - Oh no!!! Hope she feels better soon and finds many things to ammuse her!
Kerrin - Way to go! that video was awesome. Congrats!
Lisa M. - Goodness, I hope Annie is feeling better. I’m sure that broke your heart!
And congrats on the news coverage!! It was so nice to see a “live” shot of Craft Weekend! Cool!
Tiffany - So sorry about poor Annie… I hope the recovery is going well. How scary for the both of you! The news story was fun to watch, but it kind of creeps me out that my face is RIGHT THERE, before you click play. Jeepers. Wish I would have had more than 2 hours of sleep the night before and it wouldn’t have been at the end of a long day in the car. It would have been so much better to have your sweet face right there. Oh well. I’m making “Pam’s Cheesecake” for Thanksgiving!! Wish me luck! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
kristiina - Poor Baby!! Hugs and kisses to you and your family from Virginia! Get well soon, Annie 🙂
CathyC - Don’t worry!! Annie will be OK!! My daughter Olivia broke her arm a few years ago, had surgery, 2 pins, the whole nine yards, and she’s perfectly fine. Annie will be too.
BTW, every time I see pics of the Craft House I feel like that is “my house.” Totally cool!
PS–Go do some laundry & make sure you have enough detergent to get you through.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
ali moll - Poor Annie! 🙁 Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovering for her! Loved the news coverage….hearing you and Kimberlee, and how nice and calm you both sound! And then there is that crazy person talking a mile a minute! Oh, wait…that’s me! Yikes! That was pretty scary to watch! But seriously…..Craft Weekend changed my life. I am sooo full of creativity…in all aspects of my life. I feel renewed and I owe it all to you! Thanks Meg! Love, love, loved my weekend at the Craft House with you and the girls! Hoping my name gets picked again someday! Hugs! Happy Thanksgiving! Still working on my recap post!
tiffany gardner - I just have tears for that sweet annie girl and thinking of you letting her go as she went into surgery!! I’m so sorry! Please tell her that my kids and I will pray for her today and keep praying!! xo.
Angie G. - Ohhh, poor Annie!!! Must´ve been scary for her and for you. Thank God everything turned out well. On the other hand, how exciting is it that your not-so-known country gets mentioned on the local news because of you?? Oh my God!!! I´m sooo excited….. all the way from the Dominican Republic to Kansas next January… wooohoooo!!!
April - Oh poor Annie. My daughter broke her arm earlier this year at school and eventually they had to put her under and rebend it. That was super hard for me even though they didn’t have to cut her open to do it. Prayers being sent to her. My baby (8yrs. Old) was miserable too.
Lisa - Poor Annie!! It will be better once she gets the real cast on. Glad she slept well. Hope you got sleep as well. And get that laundry done girl!! You’ll feel so much better when it is. You will have to post a link for the craft weekend interview! So awesome!
Megan - You guys are so stikin cool… the NEWS?! ive been following you for a year or so and love hearing about the craft weekend. What a wonderful thing. Will be praying for Annie..
Juliann - HI Megan – Praying for Annie! I hope she gets lots of waiting-on at Thanksgiving this year 😉
I used to just buy new underwear when I ran out to avoid laundry – and that was when I was single – ha.
stacey - Meg, You don’t know me, and I don’t know you…but I FEEL like I do from reading your blog.
I have 4 kiddos, so I feel your laundry pain.
I would come help if I could. and laundry is my LEAST adored chore. But for you, I’d suck it up and do it to help you out. 🙂
A Costco pumpkin pie for us…I am a baker, but a huge pie for $5.99. It was stupid not to! 🙂
I hope sweet Annie heals quickly!
Jeanie - I will pray that Annie heals fully and quickly. When our niece fractured her arm (age 2) the doctor said “Kids are healing MACHINES.” Apparently at that age their bodies are just so quick to heal. I will pray that Annie’s healing machine will kick right in. Also we know that the Great Physician is healing her as we speak. Thank You, God!
How scary for you and your husband, though. We had our little guy (he’s 4) at the E.R. for croup a few weeks ago. Thank the good Lord for access to emergency rooms and the people that stay there all night and staff them, that’s what I say!
Glad for the great press on CW. I’m not on the list but I have a 4-year-old. Not a lot of time away for myself but they are fun updates to read about here (and on the blogs you link to). Good for you and Kimberlee.
Heal up, Miss Annie!
Lennie Jackson - So sad for you guys about the broken bone 🙁 Poor baby girl! The news story was AMAZING!!! So happy for you and I am so glad that you get to do what you love!!! You’re one lucky lady!!!
Susan - So sorry to hear that Annie got hurt! Bless her heart! She will do much better than Mom. Hope you and yours have a very blessed Thanksgiving!
Kate - First off – I hope Annie feels better!
Secondly – EEEK!!!! Pretty. Cool. 🙂
kerry - oh man!!!!!!! this post is bitter sweet 🙂 poor annie, those pins look scary.. poor darling, lots of love to you. HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!! ??? So happy for you and Kimberlee. Best I get my name on that 900 long waiting list!
alicia @ la famille - how cooool about the news story!! that’s awesome!!
and how sucky for annie 🙁 poor little thing. hope it heals fast!!
Donna - so sad for Annie girl! Mom’s are the best nurses..she will be better before you know it.
Craft Weekend on the news!!!! Awesome! You all looked great:)
Ellen J - Sweet Annie! Praying her arm heals quickly, and that they have the color cast she’d like. 🙂
Hopefully the hospital bed head wasn’t too terrible to comb out! I was in and out of the hospital as a child, and my mom said she finally learned to put my hair in a french braid really quick before leaving for the ER each time. Saved my poor head of a rat’s nest and my mom the stress of combing it out!
lauren - praying you all can rest up and that annie will be up and at ’em in no time! my heidi had nearly the exact same break with her left elbow when she was four! i’ve got a few tips for you on dealing with the L-shaped cast she’ll be getting….it’s NOT EASY to wrestle with in the cold months! i’ll email you! take care!
p.s. what fun to see us all on the news!
p.p.s. craft weekend has inspired me to start blogging again. i will make my new blog ‘live’ soon…thank you – for everything!
Krista - Awww man, just watched your KAKE video, now I have tears in my eyes for another reason, so happy to see your success! Congratulations!
Colleen - Your poor little girl! I’m sure with a lot of TLC, she’ll be feeling better soon.
Love the news clip, I think it is such a fun thing you and Kimberly do. You’ve definitely made me want to craft more.
Krista - Poor sweet girl, glad she’s home and in your good care. My daughter broke her arm when she was 7 at a roller skating party. At the e/r they had to make some adjustments to the bone in her arm— “manipulation under anesthesia”– which was incredibly scary, and no parents allowed in the room, so I can totally understand how much worse it must have been for you to have her wheeled away for the surgery. Yes, the girlies like neon-colored casts, what is up with that? Have a wonderful T-giving in spite of all of your nursing, laundry, cooking challenges ahead of you!! Have an extra piece of pie just because!
Christine - hope she feels better by now 🙂 get well soon annie!
denise@victory rd. - what a bummer for annie. she deserves an extra serving of thanksgiving pie.
the video looks great. God is cool and what he has done through you and kim is cool. i pray he continues to be glorified through you.
Pink and Green Mama MaryLea - Hugs to sweet Annie and mama too! I am doing 4-5 loads of laundry today, cleaning the house for tomorrow. Making cranberry sauce jello, baking two pies- pumpkin and “yum yum” (it’s like a chocolate pecan pie) So fun that they covered craft weekend- I saw the camera crews in your photos and wondered what that was all about. Hang in there. It’s hard when our babies are hurt- even when they’re in pain I think it breaks our hearts even more! xoxoxo
So much to be thankful for, glad they were able to repair it quickly.
Tiffany - Aww, sending Annie the sweetest thoughts (pie, pie, pie, did i mention pie) and best wishes for a speedy recovery. Congrats on the news coverage, that’s pretty kool.
Amy K. - Having taken a kid to the er recently, I feel for both of you!!! Hopefully you will get your equilibrium back today… and get some laundry done too. Watching that clip makes me want to go to Craft Weekend EVEN MORE, which I did not think was possible!
KirstenP - It’s awesome that your craft weekend was on TV! I wonder how long your waiting list will be since the broadcast?!?
I’m making pumpkin pie(I use the recipe on the Libby pumpkin can and Pillsbury refrigerated crust.) I’m also going to try pecan pie again. My previous attempts taste great but some of the yummy filling always ends up underneath the pie crust – and it’s hard to get the slices out of the pie plate.
It’s always hard to see a child wheeled off to surgery whether they’re 3 months, or a year, or 10 or 19. I hope Annie heals quickly and gets her lime green cast.
It’s time to attack my mountain of laundry and bake some pies. Happy Thanksgiving.
angie - Poor bunny! My Annie broke her foot last year so we certainly feel your pain! A very traumatic experience fir an 8 year old. Hope she heals quickly!!
Sarah - Sending prayers for Annie for less pain and a speedy, successful recovery. She’s lucky to have you watching over her. Your laundry story is darn funny, rest assured you’re not alone. We moved into a new home a few months ago so we’re set to have the crew at our place this year. I’m really looking forward to it! We also invited two other families to join us for dessert, should be a fun time. Enjoy your holiday too!
Elliottsurf - Meg, I am so sorry about poor Annie. I have two boys and between the two of them, they have broken 6 bones, some of them bad breaks that required surgery. It is so hard for a Mama to go through that! On a good note, congratulations to you on the craft weekend news story! You are awesome! Keep up the good work. You really are inspiring. I look at your blog daily for a little pick-me-up! xoxo
Susan - Oh no Annie ( I have a daughter named Annie too). I saw the picture on FB last night and I wondered who was in the hospital and I thought it was her. Praying for pain relief and a perfect healing for her. Sorry about your laundry situation…it mirrors my own and I am doing maybe 4 or 5 loads but I only have a family of 3! I am making pumpkin and sweet potato pie today. I have never made sweet potato pie but my brother in law loves them so I thought I would try…found a Paula Deen recipe so it should rock!
shannon - poor Annie, I hope you she feels better fast! Kids are def. not meant to be in bed all day 🙁 I’m attempting to take some Christmas card pics of my girls today and bake some choc. chip pumpkin bread for tomorrow. First I have to head to the grocery store, wish me luck with the crowds!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
maggie - Poor annie, and poor you. It is hard letting your child go into surgery. Prayers for you all. Today i get to shoot some pictures with my friend and later i will be making some fabulous mac n cheese, not from the box. oh an probably some laundry too 🙂
Southern Gal - Praying she’s feeling better and that arm heals completely! I’ll trade and do your laundry if you’ll come dust and vacuum my house.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Tonya - Today I am reading your blog and laughing. I am so sorry about Annie but to hear what you said about having to climb over the laundry…so nice to hear that I’m not alone in that department! Hope that the rest of the week goes smoothly.
elma - I hope poor Annie feels better soon!! At least she has a long weekend to rest up!!
Congrats on the tv video it was awesome. I love hearing your voice!! I hope someday I can go!! Have a Blessed Thnaksgiving!!!
Heather - I hope Annie feels better soon!
tara - Hang in there, both of you. Good luck with the laundry. Watch a movie together and fold like crazy.
Your blog always makes me happy – thank you for that.
Renae - That video was fantastic! I keep imagining how excited I would be to be headed south to Newton to do Craft Weekend!! My husband would think I was nuts but as your readers understand, for me this would be heaven!! Have a blessed Thanksgiving Meg. Hope Annie is feeling a little better today and that her hair is back to normal! 🙂
Jules - Oh dear! Poor Annie! Hope she feels better soon. It is horrible being in plaster, although I remember when I had my leg in a cast when I was little it was so fun getting people to sign my cast and draw pictures – nothing as cool as a lime green cast then! x
Kelly - Oh I’ve been praying for Annie! And you! I’ve had a little one with a broken arm (although not nearly as bad as poor Annie’s!) and it’s rough! Hope you get a nap in between the nail painting and laundry.
So cool about the news story! 900+ on the waiting list! WOW! Thanks for sharing that clip with us!
Rebecca - Poor sweet Annie!! Praying for healing and wisdowm for the doctors and rest and comfort for you!! Ha
jerusalem - poor Annie! I feel her pain with my broken foot. So not fun at all : ( And I am with you on the laundry. TOO much. I will be sending prayers your way my friend.
Tracey - Poor Annie! My oldest broke his arm at basketball practice a couple of years ago. He sat thru the whole practice with ice on his arm and when I picked him up an hour later (because no one called me to let me know he was hurt) he burst into tears as soon as he got in the car. He lucked out though and was able to get a brace to wear for 6 weeks instead of a hard cast. So he was still able to shower and everything during the recovery time.
Today, I am baking pies for tomorrow, making jello salad (which I really don’t understand why it is called a salad), and snapping green beans. LOL! Oh, and putting up our Christmas tree! My husband is off this week so he wants to get it all done by Friday so he can go to a football game this weekend. 🙂
ira lee - bless her heart!!! i work at an orthopaedic clinic- we see this all the time!
i loved your video on the local news! how exciting! and i had NO CLUE so many people were on the waiting list- good for you!!!
Amy G - Meg, I can completely understand where your heart is and Annie’s with all of this. My daughter just had surgery on her hand last Wednesday and the hardest part was watching them take her behind the swinging door . . . with out me. So just know that this understanding momma is praying for you guys! We have watched A LOT of Little House On The Prairie this week. 🙂 The first thing to bring a smile to my daughters face wa when we told her she was free from dishes for a few weeks! 🙂
Stephanie - Poor little one! Why do things like that always happen on such a benign night? My son broke his arm when he was 2.5 and had to have surgery. Poor kid had a hard time sleeping because of the pain. 🙁 ill pray for your little Annie and you!
Sarah{Handbags*N*Pigtails} - I just watched the segment….AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alice H - oh poor Annie! How did she break it? I sprained my arm when I was in the 5th grade when my dad swiped me with a pillow during a pillow fight and I thought I would catch myself using my arm. No cast. But I had to wear a sling for 2 weeks. Hope she heals quickly!!
Sending good wishes that you get all of your laundry done!
Sarah{Handbags*N*Pigtails} - Oh gosh, poor Annie:( (Knock on wood) we’ve never been through broken bones. Mystery medical issues? Yes. Broken bones…never.
As for the news thing, I knew I noticed an IG pic with a news crew:) How exciting!(But really, they’re late to the game, right?:))Helloooooooooo people…this has been big news for over a year!:)
Dara - oh no, poor annie! get well soon!
