We Have Butterflies (not the good kind)

Last night one of my co-workers cheerily said, "your husband is on the phone". Uh oh. My husband has never called me at work since I started working retail, not a good sign. Sure enough, Christopher had fallen and smacked his forehead (which is a total boo boo magnet) into the corner of our coffee table. He needed a phone consult on whether to go to the ER or the just the First Aid Kit. We went with butterfly closures for the night to be followed by me taking him in for stitched in the am.

So this is what I wear when anticipating several hours at Childrens hospital with four boys. Nothing to write home about. Luckily, I went by his doctors office for a consult first and it turns out that you can't wait over 12 hours before getting stitches (who knew) but she thinks we made the right decision (whew).  So luckily, I didn't have to spend the entire day in the waiting room. Can you believe we have never had stitches or broken bones in our house (knocking on wood)?

tee-J Crew
pants-LOFT
flip flops-Old Navy

Good news is that I think even with the drama, the funk seems to be gone! I tried on some gorgeous new arrivals last night and will be giving you my two cents tomorrow. Plus one dress IRL (you can be the judge when I explain whether I cheated or not).

Oh, no! I'm glad he's okay. I'm sure you must have had a scare, though.

I love the colors you have on above. Peach/coral and gray: these are my favorite colors for the summer!

Hi,
Glad everything turned out fine.

I think you look comfortable, pulled together and very pretty in that outfit. That's a great color on you.

I'm glad you didn't have to sit around the hospital waiting for stitches. Did the doctor just throw some alcohol on it and cover it with a band-aid? Glad it wasn't more serious!!!

I just moved to a town with no Banana, J Crew, Anthro, or other comparable stores.... but it has a Loft! I love seeing what's new at the stores through your blog, really can't wait for the Loft goodies now.

Glad he is okay! We had our first ER visit recently - my three year old had to get staples in his head. Luckily my other two boys could stay at home with my husband since it was the weekend.
