Never a Dull Moment II

Our daughter Shayna "broke" her toe yesterday. Turned out to be only a bad bruise, but we spent a couple of hours yesterday sitting in the emergency room, which killed our Sunday afternoon and also made Debbie have to cancel evening social plans, which are a rare event these days.

I realized afterwards that we were probably somewhat overreactive; in hindsight it was pretty clear that the toe wasn't broken, especially given Shayna's typical - let's call it "flair for the dramatic" - regarding aches and pains. But for obvious reasons, we have been doubting many of our tried-and-true parental instincts lately, and chose to err on the side of caution. Which I guess was the right thing to do. Still, we're starting the work week even more stressed-out than usual. Sigh.
