This weekend has been one of ups and downs. Friday night I got to escape to the Beaver Creek Colorado Ritz Carlton with 5 of my best friends for our annual “Girls Night Out.” We laughed, we cried and were throughly pampered. We came home refreshed and renewed and ready to face any challenges coming our way.
Little did I know what was actually coming my way. While I was on the way to the resort, my husband called and these were his words, ” My dad is picking up the kids from soccer and I’m o.k., but I’m on my way to get some stiches.” You never want to hear words like that. He had cut his hand with a concrete block cutting saw, but assured me it wasn’t too bad and to go ahead with my plans. He received 12 stitches.
I returned home Saturday and his hand seemed to be fine. Sunday morning, while getting dressed for church, my husband realized his hand was a bit swollen and was hurting. To make a very long story short, he ended up with a very bad infection in his hand. He was admitted to the hospital, had surgery on his hand and now we are home. I have now come down with a sore throat and ear ache. It’s probably back to the doctor for me tomorrow.
We returned home today to a nice surprise package on my doorstep from BareFoot Tess. They sent me the cutest pair of leopard print flip flops. I love the way they feel on my feet. This is my first pair of animal print shoes and I absolutely love them. Thank you Barefoot Tess, you really made my day!
