Well, yesterday Harrison was hanging out with his girlfriend and they went into her garage.  I was asking her mom if it was ok for them to be in there...my gut was telling me no...plus I saw the ladder and thought to myself, self, you should move that...it looks like something Harrison would climb on...

Anyway, Robs said yes they could play (no chemicals) but not sure what they could knock over...and just as I was going to move the ladder and check things out, I hear this awful crash and then when I get in there, Harrison is sitting with the ladder over him.  And then the cries come. 

I have never heard him cry like that before.  Worse thing I have ever heard.  Well, he bit his lip, got a scratch on his face, a big bruise/graze on his back and hurt his leg.  At first he wouldn't stand on it, then would stand but not walk, then take a few steps and so on until he was walking.  But, he was walking weird and limping. 

So I wasn't going to take him to the dr's.  I just figured he had tweeked something and would get over it.  And I tried manipulating his legs around and couldn't cause pain.  So I wasn't going to but I just thought, I would rather let the doctor make that decision, not me.  He just is a bit off, not stepping up on big things or running which made me a bit nervous.

So, I took him to the dr and he said to keep an eye on him over the next few days and if he isn't getting better, to go back on Fri. 

Exactly what I expected him to say but I feel better after seeing him.  I am racked with guilt.  Gotta remember to go with the gut instinct.  Is there for a reason...

I Picked you a pumpkin

 

I noticed that you had a little Halloween spirit in you, however, you don't have a pumpkin out yet. I thought I would pick you up one last night on my way home. No thanks or money needed Just enjoy.

Well, Hubby is off to the USA and Canada for 12 days!  And not only is he going to my country, but he is going to my state...and he is driving down to have dinner with my dad, grandmother, and brother and his family.  Can't even stand it!  I should be there!  But, that is going to be only 1 of 2 days of pleasure.  The rest of the time will be spent working or travelling.

I am so happy that Harrison is well.  The past few trips away, Harrison has been sick or gotten sick.  Fingers crossed he stays well.  He has been unwell for nearly a month now but seems to have turned the corner and is on the way to recovery!

We have passed the 7 week mark for our trip to the USA and packing of the house.  There is so much to do to get ready...I can't stand it.  I don't even know where to begin.  I have to christmas shop for those in the US and Australia.  I could always but gifts for USA people while in the US and even get my Australian family gifts from there as well...hmmm now theres a  thought!

Then of course, I want to do all of those personal things before we go since I don't know when I will secure a doctor in Perth...optomatrist and dentist.  Gotta get my hair done before I go.  Cleaning out my closets of those that I don't, can't, or won't wear.  Oh, I don't want to think about it.

And of course, I spend time online chatting and surfing so I waste my precious child free time sitting on my fat one ticking away at the keyboard!  One day I will get myself together.  Until then, here I am!

Take care all-Angela

Hello everyone...I just wanted to share that I was blessed to be able to meet llmunchkin aka Lui.  Whist on her Victorian holiday last week, she and Stephen took a little time out to come and meet me, hubby and Harrison.  How exciting is that!  Unfortunately, neither one of us took pictures of us together, despite us both having phones with cameras and Lui having an acutal camera!  Silly us.  She did take a photo of Harrison and I and I think she said she was going to post it in her blog.

Well, for those of you wondering, she is exactly the same in person as she is online.  Just as sweet and caring as ever. But also full of spunk and fire!  I'm sure you can understand what I mean by that.   She is as beautiful in person as she is in her pictures that she shares with us.  Stephen is a doll.  Really sweet man and he and Dean got along great.

It is a real shame that we don't live closer together, because I could see us hanging out and having a very nice friendship (other than our online one).  But, the hope is that we will get together at another point so that our boys can play together.  Jayden was at his grandparents in Bathurst so we didn't get to meet him...bummer.

Well, just wanted to share my nice news.
