sholandamy little boy fell from the top bunk tonight.
it was very scary.
i was sitting right there, and had one of his dresser drawers pulled out and on the floor because i was going through it (transitioning for fall clothes). he was on the top bunk, and i was sitting on the bottom bunk. he reached way out to try and grab some glue off the top of his dresser and went right over.
it could have been so much worse.
he grazed the side of the drawer and has a nasty-looking scrape on the back of his shoulder, and a bruise that runs a line across his back.
he screamed for about three minutes as i held him and then said
"i'm ok, but i'm still going to cry because that was scary!"
i told him that's ok and i was too. (going to cry some more)
it could have been so much worse.
sam had the car.
there are no keys to the bus here and i don't think i could drive the bus in any kind of emergency state anyway.
ugh,
i'm nauseous.
and, just as a side note, we were rejected from the lovely healthy familes low-income insurance because WE DON'T MAKE ENOUGH. we don't make enough for low-income insurance. i guess we qualify for free medical but blah. fuck all of that.
on a brighter note, we are going to try out a ballet and tap class tomorrow afternoon in silverlake. i don't have tap shoes (anybody got em in a size 10 or 11 kids?) so i glued bottle caps the the bottom of some handmedown sneakers. i had to use carpenter glue cuz i didn't have hot glue so i hope it works. they look very cute, they are nutbrown ale tap shoes.
ugh.

(not my current school btw. this was when i was going to university)

Date: 2002-10-08 10:56 pm (UTC)I am supposed to be taking a nap on my bunk bed and I was on the bottom. I was pushing the top bed up and down with my legs when it fell down on me.
I screamed bloody murder and so did my mother. I got trapped underneath it and my mother lifted the bed enough so I could get out. I remember I had skinned knees and a bloody chin. Bunk beds can be scary things.

Date: 2002-10-09 01:41 pm (UTC)Have you checked on eBay for tap shoes? Just a thought, though I'm sure the bottlecap shoes are Super Cool, too.
