I think that would be what this is called. Let me explain...
Never ever ever put your wooden cutting board in the dishwasher. Even if it's really nasty.
Because THIS happened about 30 minutes after I snapped the AFTER shot of my Trash to Treasure project.
Yeah. I'm thinkin' I should have that verse tattooed on my forearm, y'all. This is my sweet, sweet 7 year old son's right leg, complete with a fractured tibia from that &#*(&@^ trampoline.
He is the bravest child EVER. School starts in SIX days. I was already dreaming of my "KID FREE" hours. Oh my. For a minute there, I thought I was in charge of my life. I thought that MY plan would be reality. Do you remember that moment in the movie "Evan Almighty" where Steve Carell says "this was not part of my plans?" And Morgan Freeman, who plays God laughs?
That's me, right there. Maybe He knew that a wooden plaque on the window sill wouldn't be enough to get it through my thick skull.
Some of us need hit over the head with a baseball bat.
Care for some lemonade?
Okay everybody, I sincerely hope that your projects this week don't come with injuries and "aha" moments. Link up, I need a distraction!

Oh, look at that itty bitty leg in such a giant cast. I hope your little guy get lots of sympathy at school.
ReplyDeleteI once put a hot glass cake pan in luke warm water and the whole thing exploded. There was glass every where. Too bad I couldn't make anything out of shards of glass.
Good luck this week.
Oh my. It sounds like you needed an immediate reminder of that verse right before the big accident. I hope your little one recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteI hope he's able to get up and around soon. Poor guy!
ReplyDeleteI learned that I am not at all in charge on the day the doctor told us we were expecting quads. All of my plans and ideals had to be thrown out the window right then. lol
Oh man! I feel your pain! My DD got herself a dislocated elbow and greenstick fracture of her left arm 3 weeks BEFORE summer in her 4th grade year - and yes, it was from a trampoline! She didn't fall off, she was about to do a flip and changed her mind. She put her left arm down to catch herself and that was all it took! I'm so sorry your little man is hurt!!!

Poor kid! Thats so sad. I'm starting to think a trampoline is not such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteOh...bless his heart. Yikes...and just days away from starting school. I guess it was a good thing that the summer was not spent like this! Hang in there, life is full of lemons and at times I feel like they get squeezed in my eyes!
ReplyDeletePam
My goodness, what a time he must have had! Love the verse thing and the verse, God is pretty ironic sometimes isn't He?
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteI have four too and we've had our share of casts!
I like your sign though...:)
ow!
ReplyDeleteOh that sinks!!! I need to show this to my hubby who thinks trampolines are GREAT, I always tell him, our kid will get hurt, and he laughs...God does work in mystrious ways doesn't he!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Were you watching when he jumped into broken-ness? And I agree, it stinks!!!
ReplyDeleteOuch! I'm sorry your life is starting to sound like a country song.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I had something close to that happen a week ago. At the spur of the moment I decided to go with my dh on a trip to GA. He had an early morning meeting, so I headed out to Wally world because it was too early for anything else. I somehow missed the curb, and turned my foot. Bad sprain, which put a REAL damper on ALL the plans I had for the weekend :-( The next morning, this verse jumped out at me - "The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps". Yep, right off the curb. Hope your son is better soon.
ReplyDeleteWe will be praying for you and your son to have a speedy recovery. I wanna see the crafty things you can do to that cast!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your son. Amazing how timely things are sometimes. Hopefully he'll heal quickly.
ReplyDeletePoor kiddo! Hope he's better soon.
ReplyDeleteRemember the part of the movie where Morgan Freeman says..."God doesn't give you patience. He gives you OPPORTUNITES to practice patience."? Yeah...fits, doesn't it? Love that movie! Love the lines that remind us that He is God. And I'm giggling...nervously. Because, you see, I have two little guys of my own that have yet to break that first bone. Because...."to every thing, there is a season" ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Hope you all heal quickly!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you poor sweet thing!!! I hope you've caught your breath and are relaxing a little. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! Yay for your boy for being so strong and brave. That's the good in this bad situation. I hope he gets along ok and he heals very quickly.
ReplyDeleteNancy
Oh, I hope he's okay! It's a wonder I didn't do more than sprain my ankle on my trampoline we had growing up.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That’s awful, but looks like he’s kicking back and enjoying some relaxation. Hope he’s feeling ok and way to take this little bump in the road with grace :0)

Ahh Kimm..so sorry about your sweet son. My hubby fell off a trampoline at age 5 and has two huge scars on either side of his right elbow where they had to fix the compound fracture he received! I make him show my kids the scars everytime they ask us to get a trampoline. Doesn't phase them though.
ReplyDeleteOh Kimm...bless his heart! So sorry. And yes, I can totally relate. I too need to be hit over the head with a baseball bat to "get" it. Hope tomorrow is better my friend.

Oh no! This is why I don't want a trampoline. I hope he heals quickly so that you can have your alone time you have been waiting for.
ReplyDeleteOhnoes!! I've had my leg in a stiff boot thingy from spraining my ankle and it is a big enough pain in the rear, I can't imagine a cast.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope he isn't in a lot of pain with it. I know what you mean about the alone time, my kids start next week and I'm soooooo ready for a bit of quiet around here.
ReplyDelete~Michelle
Ugh, I'm so sorry that happened to your little guy...hope it heals up quickly! We got rid of our trampoline when we moved last fall and I have to admit, I am kinda glad about it :)
ReplyDeleteHope your week goes more smoothly!
~Michelle :)
Poor sweetie! That does not look fun! I hope he heals fast and is up and running around in no time. Hopefully you'll be having a nice tall glass of lemonade all by yourself soon. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! poor guy!! Hope he heels quickly! My hubby just got our 13yo a trampoline a few months ago - much to my dismay! - those things scare me! Mom's know these things!
ReplyDelete♥

After all the accidents I have seen on trampolines, I doubt I'll ever get one and if my husband wants one, I'll show him the picture of your son's leg. I hope your little guy gets better soon :)
ReplyDeleteoh ya, the wooden cutting board! LOL
ReplyDeletelove your blog!
Hope your guy isn't in any pain! Thankfully God is still on his throne!
ReplyDeleteJust coming over for a visit. I have changed all of my buttons.
ReplyDeleteI have the Knock Off Knock Out party on Mondays and we have a brand new party starting this week. It will be every Wed and featuring Holiday Decor and/or tasty treats. Come on by-when you get back.
Cheri
Its So Very Cheri
Oh, dear! Hope he heals quickly and that you get your quiet time soon. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteLove your creation!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog, and love it.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your son.
I have God Moments everyday. Totally know what you are talking about.
i know exactly how you feel my 5year old broke her leg. (same place top of tibia into the growth plate.) 2 days before kindergarten started. they gave her a cast all the way up and straight. she has been a super duper trooper. I rented a wheel chair and take her to school. luckily its only half day. she also broke it while jumping on the trampoline. her cousins fell on her while at her lil birthday party. 8 days left till she gets it off. kids are so resilient. good luck with your lil guy.
