Steve called me yesterday to tell me he got his tetanus shot. I was thinking it was because of the rip up his arm from catching it on a rusty screen door handle. But NO! He cut the tip of his finger off. There was a razor blade sticking up in his tool bag and it got him when he reached in to get a tool. Imagine a stack of 2 dimes - that's what is missing from his right forefinger. He never did find the missing piece. At first he just put bandaids on it but kept bleeding through so he wrapped it in a paper towel and they sent him to hospital thinking he might need stitches. There's nothing there to stitch, so they bandaged it up really well, gave him a tetanus shot, some vicadan, and the Z-pack antibiotic. It's just going to have grow skin back on it's own. The paperwork they sent home with him said it could take up to 6 weeks! Yuck yuck yuck! The thought of the whole thing just makes me queasy. I'd never have been able to be a nurse!

Update on MIL working vs babysitting Stef.....Steve mentioned to her that I was looking at some daycares and it scared the living crap outta her. She called me Saturday to say she just doesn't know what she'd do if she wasn't taking care of Lil Munchkin and wanted to know what we are going to do. I said we are going to act on whatever she tells us she wants to do but she has to tell us. I also asked how much it would cost us to keep her fulltime. She doesn't know what she wants to do and even when she decides, she'll second guess her decision til the day she dies. It's really hard sometimes, working with the human waffle. Anyway, we're invited to dinner with her tonight (mac & cheese & fish - YUMMMMM) and I guess we'll talk more then.

What I really need to find is just reliable drop-in service for when my mom gets sick. She'll be more than happy to take Stef 2 days a week as long as she's healthy. I've found out that the daycare at ParkCity Mall takes drop-ins. I haven't called yet though. Guess I should do that before dinner tonight.
