The Princess on the Couch

OK, I will give Kallie all the sympathy in the world this week. She definitely deserves it. THIS week (whether other weeks will be included is yet to be determined).

As you know, my little Kallie broke both bones in her forearm when she fell on Sunday afternoon. She was running around with Christina and a friend when she tripped on the grass and the friend knocked her down. Unfortunately, we have a small pile of gravel in our backyard and she fell right into it - elbows first. Poor baby!!!

Of course, her experience in the ER was horrible too. First off, she should have been there at 5 p.m., not midnight. She was SO tired and so miserable. I could have avoided the SO tired part if I went with my gut sooner.

There were so many tears in the ER (hers AND mine). And she was in so much pain, especially after the tech twisted around her poor broken arm to get x-rays! Idiot. Anyway, I did finally ask in the ER if they could give her some pain med and she was sent home with a dose of Tylenol with codeine.

H-O-L-Y cow.

By the time we got home at almost 2 a.m., it was like she was drunk as a skunk! She was goofy and crazy and plain ole hilarious! Luckily, she quickly passed out and slept the rest of the night.

So, here we are, 4 days post break and things are going well. The only problem is that Miss Kallie is definitely becoming quite the demanding princess. She just parks her little butt down on the couch and starts barking out orders from morning til night:

"Milk please!!"

"I wanna watch some-fing!"

"MOMMY!!! I wanna watch a movie!"

"I hun-gee!!"

"Mommy - take my garbage PUH-lease!!!!"

"Mommy - I still HUN-GEEEEEE!!!!"

hmmm......I hope they are right...only 2 1/2 weeks left??
