So the boys decided sledding down an outside staircase on the snow was a good idea last week. It didn't work out so well and we quickly found ourselves in the ER with Jonathan who had a good cut to the forehead.
Five stitches outside and a few inside.
It was quite the drama, blood and gore. It was not a pretty evening in our house.
Yesterday, he got the stitches out. That was easy.
He had a "tummy ache" at school yesterday and I got called to pick him up. Within an hour of coming home he was miraculously cured and wanted McDonald's for lunch. I debated dropping him right back at school but decided I don't get to spend much time with him alone and they had a sub and were playing games in the afternoon anyway so we went off to run some errands.
At Meijers we nearly got run over by a lady who backed out of her space without looking. No apology, nothing from her. I had Jonathan with me or I would have had some seriously choice words for the woman.
We shopped and this was a different Meijer store than the usual one we go to and I had trouble finding some things and even more trouble with the stupid self checkout. I was crabby and annoyed by the time we walked outside.
The sun was shining and as Jonathan danced across the parking lot with the receipt in hand (the boys collect them for some odd reason) he said, "I love the sound of a receipt flapping in the wind!".
I smiled the rest of the day, some things are just not worth being upset over when the sun is shining and you have a little hand in yours, time with a little boy who should have been in school, and the sweet sound of happiness. Thank you Jonathan.
