Ooops!!!

In case you haven't heard, I broke my cuboid bone on Tuesday morning. (That's in the foot if you don't happen to know all your bones.) Allie threw up all over me. We went upstairs to clean up. She was screaming so all I could do was a spit bath for each of us, and then I headed downstairs to find her cuddly to calm her down before being able to shower. I had her in my arms. I'm not sure what happened. I remember being almost to the bottom and then sudden pain worse than anything I've experienced before. I managed to protect Allie and just roll her out of my arms once I hit the ground. She was screaming. I was screaming. Kayla came running to our rescue. Makayla was such a sweetheart. She got the phone and called daddy, got me pillows, ice, water, and ibuprofen. She got her and Allie ready to go with a friend. I am so grateful Makayla is such a wonderful helper. She really saved the day.
We had what seemed like 100 x-rays, probably about 15 between feet. the doctor said I'd broke the left foot. He thought I'd broke two toes on my right foot, but fortunately they're only black and blue. I must say it makes hopping on crutches not very much fun.
After much deliberation and finding out I don't get a cast until next Wednesday, Nate and I decided the girls and I had better come to Idaho. Everybody has been so helpful in watching the girls. I feel so guilty sitting here in the LazyBoy having people wait on me hand and foot and take care of my kids. I don't know what I'd do without my wonderful parents and other family members. Thank you everybody!!!
We'll be heading home Tuesday night so Nate doesn't have to worry about us while working a million hours, and I won't have to be home alone without even a cast on my foot.

Also, as soon as the rain stops and they can level the yard, we get a new house!
