But today had other plans just as Dad was leaving for school hehe yes he is a primary school teacher. Mr N decided to dive under the bed but miss and split his head open. Dad was thankfully there to hold pressure on the cut while I threw clothes on myself the other kids and collected what I could to entertain them in the ED, no food of course, do you think we had a single piece of fruit or anything to grab in the house. Off we rush get to the ED at 7:45am head still bleeding slightly, nurse has a quick look tells us to take a seat. at 10:30am once the kids were thoroughly starving we finally get seen by a Dr so he can glue Mr N's head back together.
It is deeper than it looks in this picture.
So how did I use this time wisely. We talked about platelets, blood, skin. How the bleeding stops, why the bleeding stops. How it will heal. And why holding pressure on the wound helps. I also threw the iPad in the bag so Mr I got to practice handwriting, spelling and addition on some apps.
After we finally left the hospital we headed to the op shop as planned and had a massive score turning the day back around. I filled a basket with books I had seen sitting their for months that I felt were overpriced, found the manager of the day and asked if they would accept $20 for my basket load and woohooo they did. So here is my score.
These Numbers books are fairly simple readers but with number recognition thrown in. They looked pretty good from the quick look I had while trying to stop the kids running riot.
These preschooler books are the only ones with writing in them and only a couple pages between them.
I love Cocky's circle books.
Noticed when I got home I have a few double ups oops. The doubles may head to a cutting up pile if no one else wants them.
Handwriting books completely empty.
The rest of the day is a right off I am pooped. Going to rest in front of the first fire for the season. Turns out one of the books came with a DVD about tigers. Afternoon sorted.
