I guess I started this blog approximately a year ago. Not a lot of entries, but that's okay. The "boy Barrette's" were here with their families for the weekend. I'm always a little melancholy when they're here. A touch of sadness mixed with the joy of seeing the results of my life with my husband. An obvious, tangible result of our love for each other. Four little girls in total, with mommies and daddies in tow. How amazing it is that the Lord chose us out of all the people He could have chosen. The icing on the cake would be the presence of the Crows.
The main excitement for the start of the weekend was my visit to Medstat on Friday afternoon. The family next door asked me to put their dog in the house to avoid the incoming storm. I don't think "Jaden" likes me, because she tried to take my left thumb. It w
as hard to visualize the damage initially since it was bleeding like she'd hit an artery. Two deep cuts, (must have sunk her canines in well for maximum effect); one on the fat pad of my thumb and the second along the top and left side of the nail. It was like Dan Akroyd's version of Julia Child on SNL, blood everywhere. Since I couldn't stop the bleeding, on for treatment. Keflex, steristrips, and a tetanus shot. They no longer suture dog bites because of the concern over infection. I can't knit, can't clean, can't garden...I wonder if I can golf?
I love that we are created with opposable thumbs, they're very handy, but I believe a flaw in the design was dominant hands. In this situation being truly ambidextrous would be awesome. It's going to take a while for this to heal. Coban is another truly wonderful creation.
