What a summer this has been! Would you believe I am still looking for fun?! Would you believe I am ready for the end of August to get here?! Believe it. Here's the story...
My FIL was at Cleveland Clinic. We went to visit for a weekend. It was the first time my 2 littles have stayed at a hotel. They loved wearing all their brand new swim stuff. I brought my niece and nephew to my home for a week so my SIL could stay in Cleveland with my MIL. Then we had a cousin here for the week after that.
My FIL is now here in our town at the rehab center. He may have to have bowel surgery and then they are doing the dye test on his aneurysm. My MIL is so tired and stressed. We take every chance we can to make her smile.
Last Thursday I was too tired to go on the nightly ATV ride over to the new house. Well, I let Manga Dork and the cousin take the 2 littles with them. I hurried and ate dinner cause I was so hungry I was getting sick. About 20 minutes later they all come bursting through the door. Manga Dork had flipped the ATV completely over and on its wheels again. She had tire marks rubber burnt across her leg and a sprained knee. Cutie had been flipped off and her arm was broken. Our local hospital sent her to Columbus Children's Hospital. She had to have surgery and 3 pins put in her arm. Another hot pink cast! They assure me that she won't have to start kindergarten in it! Thank goodness! Dr. Hubby and I had only 1.5 hours of sleep from Thursday morning to Friday night! We were zombies.
Want to feel like dirt? Take a child into a hospital and tell them they were on an ATV. Mother of the Year...I may be banned for life!
Today we finally got some good news! We close on our new house tomorrow at noon! I hope this is only the start of the good stuff! I feel like I am starring in the movie Crappy Scrappy and the Totally Bummer Summer!

Oh my gosh...well, it can't get worse only better now. We had our share of those things happen too as we raised our 8 believe me...it's something to talk about later! ;D
Oh my goodness...what a summer you are having! So glad the kiddos are okay and it was only a broken arm and a sprained knee! I hope everyone heals quickly! Hooray for the closing on your new house! Then comes the moving part..ugh! Hang in there! (((HUGS)))
I think you may have to put your kids in a bubble!
You have been under a ton of stress. I bet you are sick to death of hospitals!
Ya, we see lots of kids in the ER with ATV accidents. No you are not a loser mom!
Sheesh. Kids have fun, kids get scraped up and they break stuff. Including bones.
I hope she's recovering quickly...kids are so resilient.
Yay for the good news with the house. I am so excited for you!
Wow Scrappy, it really sounds like you've been through the ringer. I hope things calm down soon :)
That is definately alot on your plate! Hope things smooth out soon :-D
The adventures never end but good to know everyone is ok.... Yay for the new house! You're probably unpacking now!
Holeeeee Cow! I was just thinking to myself, 'haven't seen Scrappy around in a while, I should send her an email and make sure she is alive' and now this? Crap girl! Uncle already, time for life to settle down a bit
What a happy family you have. Stay blessed. car park luton airport
