recent beezy:
had a minor scooter wreck and hurt her wrist last saturday and won a free trip to the local emergency room. (photo above: taken before we left for the e.r., her daddy made a make-shift sling out of a bandana and she was trying so hard to make a pitiful face for the pic...ha!) they took lots of x-rays and did lots of inspecting and came to the conclusion that she broke it. so they wrapped it up all nice and snug and gave her a real sling to keep everything in place until monday when i could make a doctors appt.
they gave us a referral to an orthopedic surgeon but little did i know, i had to schedule her an appt with her pcm and she'd have to get the referral from the pcm (pediatrician). uh, yeah. i'm so not a fan of her *old* pcm. yes, i changed things up real quick like after she wrapped bri's wrist in a crappy ace bandage and called it good. no dice.
in the meantime (tuesday)- beezy had her 'big' field trip to the bernhard museum (they have to dress up like pioneer's and they churn butter and make bread and crafts...so fun!) notice the crappy ace bandage held together with athletic tape below...ooh i was so not happy with that.
then (wednesday) she had an appt with her new pcm (we love him and his nursing/office staff is amazing...) and they referred her to the ortho surgeon who got her in 10 minutes after our pcm appt...see- awesomeness! they casted her up in a hot pink cast and both mommy and beezy are happy campers about the wrist situation now :)
recent kinsey:
i've been taking a little break from blogging, fb, pinterest...etc. all of my online obsessions that i thought i couldn't go a day without updating or checking- unplugged. and the darndest thing happened. i got more stuff done. life stuff. family stuff. good stuff. and some not fun- but necessary stuff.
part of the reason for the unplug...i had a doctor's appt a few weeks ago because i just felt...weird. something's not right. i don't know what it is but i don't like it. so i went in. they don't know what it is either so i have follow up appts scheduled and appts with different docs and my stress level is through the roof right now...i'm terrified of the unknown. so, i'm learning that if anything will make you re-evaluate your priorities- it's a health scare. that's where i am at this point. taking stock of what's really important and what can be set aside for now.
one of the adjustments will be with scrapbooking. i'm not quitting, just toning/slowing it down for a little while. i have a list of sb goals and have been checking them off pretty quickly here lately which is great when things are hunky dorey...not so great when there's health issues involved. one of the goals that i checked off (the day before my initial dr. appt.) was to earn a kit club dt spot...i was so over the moon excited when christine emailed me about joining the cocoa daisy team- their kits are so fun and right up my alley :) i jumped at the chance! (i was set to begin my term with the june kit because i'm guest designing for them this month-may's kit)...the reason for all this background info is because an announcement email went out a few days ago about my joining the cocoa daisy dt, and unfortunately, a lot in my little world has been rearranged since then...
fast fwd to present: i know that as things are now- stressful with tons of unanswered questions- i can't swing my personal priorities, plus 3 design teams, plus the stress that comes with back to back appointments, not to mention daily life and all that entails...something's gotta give.
so, all that considered...i decided to cancel my cocoa daisy dt spot. i can't- in good conscience- take on a 3rd dt position knowing that i can't do a good job right now with my mind in so many different places. i can't take a spot that someone else could fill and do amazing things with. so for now, the timing isn't right. i need to slow down a little- not take on more. i need to focus on my priorities, get some answers and peace of mind and scrapbook when i'm feeling it :)
my family and i could use some prayers/good thoughts over the next few days/weeks as we hopefully get some questions answered and figure this junk out :)
hugs, kins
