So, like I said we have been taking our time moving our things to our new home, but we had decided that this weekend was the time to get our booties into gear and get- r- done. Yesterday was overwhelming for me. I have a lot on my plate right now and I could feel it's weight on my shoulders. I let myself have a break down and then I felt much better, ready to accomplish some things. Later yesterday evening Ethan had just arrived home to get a phone call about something at someones home and he needed to leave again to fix the problem. He wasn't happy about having to leave just after arriving home since he had been up since 4 a.m., but sometimes that is how it goes when you own your own business. He left and I had a couple things still left to do. Brookie was running around the house as usual playing when all of a sudden I heard a crack and her screaming. She was right outside the office where I was and I saw her screaming on the ground holding her foot. I had never heard a cry like this one come from her. We always say she is as tuff as nails because she will run into things all the time and bounce back up not to even skip a step. I knew she had probably broke something.
I picked her up and held her trying not to cry myself knowing she was in a lot of pain and I couldn't do anything about it. You moms know how this feels, it is a sick feeling deep down in your stomach. I called Ethan and he thank goodness was on his way home. I tried to see if she would walk and she wouldn't put any pressure on her right foot. She would cry for me not to put her down to walk. Next thing I noticed the top of her foot started swelling. So Ethan arrived and off to urgent care we went. The same one that we were at last week and the week before that with Kylie's battery situation. Ethan made the comment that hopefully they don't call CPS on us since we have been down there so often. Brookie got her x-rays and yes her foot is broken and she will have to have a cast on just in time for summer and swimming, which see loves by the way. YEAH!!! She is adjusting to her splint fairly well and soon will have the hard cast on. I actually found a place that has vacum seal covers to go over casts so people can swim. There has been nothing but 100 percent positive reviews about this product so it sounds like Brookie will be able to swim after all.
Life seems to get crazier and crazier around here. I am to the point that it almost makes me laugh. What a crazy time, sometimes when it rains it pours. We can take it, things could be alot worse.

Even broken, she is so stinking cute. I bet she hasn't slowed down a bit.
Go ahead and laugh at your craziness. I promise it will get you through.
HUGS!
Oh my gosh...poor Brookie!! Poor you!! Moving stinks...are you still going to be in Mesa?
I think crazy is good. I think break downs are a fun. That's where I've been for a long time. We will get something rigged up so Brookie can get in the pool. knowing her she will be up and running soon.
