Vandals grrrrr

I did NOT want to spend much of yesterday cleaning up
broken shards of glass. Some vandals decided to smash two
side windows of my van 2 nights ago. So now I need to call
a glass company and get them replaced, as well as the
cracked windshield. Thankfuly we have insurance to cover
it, and the money to cover any additional expense.
However, I really had better things to do and other plans.
Also, my 3 yr old son managed to cut himself on the glass,
pretty badly. He fell and cut his knee. It was borderline
for stitches, so I just cleaned it, put antibiotic ointment
on it, then steri stripped it closed covered with a
bandaid, then covered his entire knee with an ace bandaid
to keep the pressure on it, and keep his little fingers off
it. Else he'd be likely to pick at it, reopen the wound and
we really would have had to go to the ER and get 1 or two
stitches. Not fun at all for baby, and much more tramatic
for him as well, more pain too. We managed to avoid all
that. He stayed on the couch with his leg straight and off
of it as much as possible. He watched a movie and his
brother play video games, which kept him nicely occupied.
We took his food to him, and drinks. The acetemenophen
worked well for his pain. I'm thankfull he is reasonably
recovered and all went well, and that more extreme
intervention was unnecessary.
I love my children so very much. I am thankful that I get
to be their mommy and take care of them. They are a
constant source of love, education, enrichment, and fun in
my life.
