Memorial Daze

Daniel had a rough start on his first day of summer vacation. He fell from the ladder climbing down from bed and somehow broke his finger. He was playing all day yesterday though, and other than whining when I was on the phone (an everyday occurrence with any child) he was fine, so it wasn't until he woke up at 3:30 in the morning and cried for almost two hours that I figured out that just maybe it was more than a sprain. I suppose I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed if it took me that long to figure it out, but at that time of morning it's nearly impossible to dredge up any coherent thought process from me. The meds they gave him in the ER seemed to agree with him though. He was singing along to Steely Dan on the way home. I have to make an appointment with an orthopedic specialist Tuesday so between that and some other stuff we had to postpone plans for a perfect Memorial Day weekend at Suzanne's - as well as his camping trip next week. They finally opened the pool here so at least the weekend is not a total lost. I hope you all have a good one!
