CRAZY DAY yesterday.
It ended in a trip to the ER
for Ms. Medical Drama.
More on that later.
But first,
Macy's friend, James, who has only been in America
for about five weeks now,
was visiting in our area with his new family.
SO, of course we got these two sweet kids together for lunch.
And it looked alarmingly like a date.
Mercy.

Mercy.
Snap out of it, you two!
They sat and talked for 2.5 hours!
And I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know James' parents.
We had a super fun time!
They are a wonderful family!!
These are two great kids, I'm tellin' ya!
Aren't they cute?
It was such fun and I kid you not,
Macy was fast asleep within five minutes after we got into
the car to go home.
The girl ain't used to talkin' that much!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ok, so after our lunch date we headed back to
pick Lucy up from my friend Angela's house.
Lucy was worn slick from a ridiculous amount of play
time with her guy-pal, Michaiah.
There was some major monkey bar business going on.
I was trying to lure her up off the floor to go home...
casually lifting her up as I held onto her hands...
*some of you may envision what came next*
and within seconds she was howling in pain, saying
that I hurt her arm.
Honest to goodness,
I was rewinding time in my head trying to figure out what I had just done
because there was absolutely no jerking involved,
she hadn't resisted me pulling her up or anything.
I was baffled.
I wondered if she was simply mega tired and was being well,
dramatic.
She screamed all the way home.
I knew something wasn't right.
But I also know how this girl is with pain.
Which makes it extremely difficult assess any injury or sickness.
VERY long story, short.
We spent too much time at our doctor's urgent care center
for them to end up sending us to Children's Mercy.
Not thrilled about that.
But it was truly for the best.
Since xrays didn't show anything, the doctor
examined her and quick as a flash, twisted her arm...
and pop...it was totally back to normal, and so was she
(minus a brief blood-curdling scream).
My gracious.
For HOURS this precious pumpkin was in horrible pain.
Her drama was appropriate, as it turned out.
And once the doctor did his thing...
she was up and playing and laughing as usual.
SO....as many of you have probably know from experience...
no more picking her up like that!
Now she's really susceptible to this happening again.
Seriously, I really have raised two children almost to adulthood
and really do know what I'm doing much of the time.
*I think I'm going to get a t-shirt that says that*
All in all,
I came to one conclusion after last night.
There's no doubt in my mind that I will only be
getting ONE grandbaby out of this child someday.
