Am I A Normal Parent Now?

It was the weekend from hell. Temperatures at 100 degrees, Landon still in a cast (surgery is this Wednesday) and us? Hubby and I? We're stupid. We took Landon in the pool because we were desperate and HOT! We took him in on Saturday afternoon. Now we are only a little stupid. We've had casts now for weeks and done baths and pool all with a bag tied on his arm.

This time we tied a bag to the arm and when we were done swimming we watched as water dripped out of Landons cast. Then it ran out! CRAP!

So off to the emergency room to get a new cast, because open wounds don't really like wet mildewy casts. After drama galore we got home at 11pm. Landon was still awake and fit to be tied. We were all exhausted.

Sunday morning Landon slept in and I THOUGHT our troubles were over. That was until he woke up and puked all over his bed. Not once mind you, but twice after I changed it. Before I had the pukeys to deal with though, I was reflecting on the couch and enjoying my morning sans Elmo. I was thinking of how many times I've read about emergency room dramas on all of your blogs, stitches, breaks, crazy temperatures...sometimes with all of Landons arm stuff we feel like we are always dealing with more than the average parent (although I am realizing everyone has something huge they are dealing with), but that Saturday night, I realized later, we were normal parents. That was kinda nice.

Today we are headed to the doctor to get a new cast. A non-pukey smelling one. Ahhhh parenthood!
