Wow it's already been a morning for me in my house. I got the youngest up like normal for school. My oldest messaged me from her room down to my phone because she didn't want to yell and wake anyone else that was sleeping. Oldest was complaining that her leg hurts and that it hurt to put weight on it. So, I woke up my husband since he is the nurse of the house to take a look. He went to her room did his general assessment. He pulled me aside saying he couldn't find anything to say otherwise that nothing is wrong, but we have learned in the past with her even the smallest pain could mean a little break. Yeah, we learned that one with her elbow. So now my husband is on the way to the kids ER to get her leg looked at. I didn't see any swelling, but my 12-year-old says it is my husband didn't say anything about swelling. Now comes down to the middle kid. He is fine just that he has an eye doctors' appointment today. Got to do his yearly exam to make sure there is no changes in his eyesight. Depending on how long that takes with his sister being in the ER we might have to call off the appointment and I can walk him up to school. He doesn't want to miss his after-school drawing class. My youngest he is at school, but he added to the mix this morning. He forgot his classes at home, so we had to double back. Thankfully we live in supper short walking distance. So, we got that fixed right way it just added to the chaos to this morning.

@ShyBear88 It does sound like your household was very busy. How is the child with the leg that your husband took to the kids ER?

Seeing as he hasn't texted, I'd say he is bored, and she is bored. They were sitting in the waiting room waited for her to be called back for bed and x-rays. He'll text me when there is something to say.

@Hannihar xrays take roughly 1 hour to develop and I know they are doing x-rays. It's not the first time we have done this. That is why my husband went he is a CMA and talks medical and I don't that I really don't do people. I do small children and animals and anything that has to do with special needs and IEP's I'm your women then.

When my 2 daughters were very little I always said that if María hadn´t helped me, I would have ended in an insane people´s assyllum with a straight jacket. I was very young then (I had my first daughter before I was 19) but still children are children at any age. My children always had their stomach aches on weekends when their doctor was not around.

She isn't seeing the doctor today here brother is for his eyes. We did hers yesterday so it's not the doctor thing. It's just one of those days. We are living up to our last name kind of day. One kid is at school, one is at home waiting to go to the eye doctor. Husband at the ER with the 12 years old getting her leg looked at. She is like her father I need both in bubble wrap.
