We're back! Yes, we are finally home and getting settled again. The summer has been busy and now it's back to reality.
Today was Maddy's first day back to school. Unfortunately she wasn't too excited to go. She was nervous that no one would want to play with her on the playground. I helped her load up her new desk and see who was sitting around her that she knew. Luckily there was one friend in there that she was familiar with. As I left her this morning I had to hold back my tears as I walked out of the school. She look at me as if I was abandoning her.
I didn't have to wait long to see her again because at 10:30am I got a phone call from the school secretary. I thought she was going to tell me that Maddy was so incredibly upset about me leaving that I had to come and get her. Instead she starts out with "Are you close to school? Maddy had a little accident on the playground and Mrs. Coffey feels you should come and check her out." Just what every mother wants to hear! So I sped to school the whole time rehearsing in my head what I would say if I got pulled over. I ran into the office and found her sitting in a chair looking scared. And that's when the strong, tough mommy that I am lost it! I couldn't even talk to her. I just started bawling and so did she. We sat and hugged each other and cried while her teacher, the school secretary, and a nurse looked on. Then I looked and saw the gash on her forehead. Mrs. Coffey advised us to take her in and have it looked at. So away we went to Metro Hospital's emergency room. By 11:45am she was getting 4 stitches in her forehead, violently screaming at the top of her lungs and trying to kick the doctor in the head. What a GREAT first day of school!

Boy, not a dull moment in your household! Hope Maddy has a better second day of school.
Stacy...wow, you guys sure visit the Emergency Room a lot, hopefully she got everything out the way for the year and you won't have anymore mishaps. What a way to start things out...I would've been bawling right along side you if Dylan or Cassidy did the same thing!
You're a great mom! It's got to be hard with 4 kids.
Oh no! Abby came home from school telling me that " a girl from the other class had to get stiches" So.. it was Maddy. I hope yesterday was better!
