Subject: What a full-on weekend!

I typed this up last night for another forum, but am too lazy to re-type, so hope you don't mind the bent time-frame.

We visited friends who live down the coast yesterday. When we got there, their 13yo was sitting on the lounge with her arm in a sling. She fell down the stairs at school on Thursday, then came off a scooter on Friday afternoon and landed on the same wrist. They thought it was just bruised/sprained, but then her little cousin ran into her sore arm, and she just about went through the roof, so my friend decided (with some urging) to take her to hospital. The arm was broken (possibly since Thursday ). The doctors put a temporary cast on and this morning she had an operation to re-align it before a permanent (or at least for the next six weeks) cast was put on. The operation went well. She has to have checks with the specialist every week for the next three, so could do with some prayer that the arm is healing well.

Meanwhile, dh and friend's husband had gone off fishing. We were supposed to meet them for lunch, but the collision with the cousin happened, and well, you've heard that story, so while friend was off at the hospital, I went with her sister (who was visiting too) and her kids to a local park, and spent the afternoon there instead. We decided not to spoil the guys day, so didn't bother them with the hospital stuff until they were on their way home anyway.

After a day like that, the sister and I decided to spoil my friend and take her to the movies last night, leaving the guys with all five children. We went and watched 'Pirates of the Caribbean' which was excellent, but just missed the 8.30pm session, so had to catch the 9.20pm one, meaning we got back to my friend's house after Midnight.

By the time dh and I got home it was 1.40am. I got up at 7am to get ready for church, realised I was on creche and not singing, which meant I didn't need to be at church for another two hours, so went back to bed and slept through until 10.30am (meaning I missed church). OOPS!

So, dh and I decided to go to the markets today, with the intention of catching an evening service at one of the local churches (our church is morning services only). When we got home, I went to try on a pair of trousers I bought. Dh laid down on our bed while I was doing that, and fell asleep. We didn't make it to church tonight either. I didn't have the heart to wake him.

I also watched 'Pay It Forward' tonight which is a great tear-jerker.

Hi Kylie.. I guess God is going to forgive you for not getting to Church after such a full and hectic weekend!

My goodness Kylie, I can see why you slept through the alarm, what a busy weekend. I hope your friend's son's arm is okay, children seem to heal so much quicker than the "oldies".
I read reviews that Pirates of the Caribbean is very good, it's on my wish list to see as well as a film called Identity (a thriller with John Cusack).
I haven't seen Pay it Forward yet but I do like the boy who is in it.
