Saturday and Snowing

Megan came out of school Friday very anxiously telling me that “there are only 3 days left”..
“3 days left for what?”
“Till I have to wear green Mom!”
“Ahh…. That’s right.”
“yeah, cuz If I don’t I’ll get pinched” ( looking very troubled) “ and I don’t want to get pinched,
You have to remind me Mom, cuz I can’t forget!”

I think seriously children just go through life waiting for the next holiday or party to happen…
Easter is only a week away too..
Its much too cold for Easter dresses. Its snowing again today!

I had a minor panic today while at work..
The Emergency room called to inform us of a Trauma coming up to the floor. An 8 year old girl who had been up skiing with her Dad and had been life flighted to PCMC.. When Trauma’s come in they are given a pseudo name until they have all the correct information they need. I always worry when the kids are with Ex and especially when I see traumas coming through that are the same age as either of my girls, but because they come to our unit I get their real names pretty quickly and don’t have to stress for long. Well today this poor little girl was life flighted all alone while they tried to track the Dad down off the slopes. They were holding her in the ER until they could contact him.. That left a few hours without having any real information, including a name to ease my fear.
I finally called Ex when I couldn’t stand to wait any longer. I caught him just as they were leaving the ski resort.. Both girls in the car……safe and sound….. phew!
