Yesterday lasted WAAAAAAY too long! Late in the evening as I was getting ready to tuck kids in and head off to bed, one of my children needed to take a trip to the ER. I don’t know about everyone but for me, as a parent when my kids need me, I’m there. So we jumped in the “Dad-bulance” and made a lightning fast trip to town.
We both hoped it would be a quiet night at the ER. Unfortunately when we got there it turned out to be a pretty busy waiting room. I gotta say that I would never ever want to be the Triage Nurse at any ER anywhere! She did a great job of staying calm and working through all of the patients. I would have been a mess!
After a few hours there was a change in how my son was feeling so we decided to bow out of the cue. There wasn’t an audible cheer when we stood up to tell the nurse we would be heading home, but I’m sure a few folks were rejoicing!
All in all when we got back to the farm and got into bed, it was after midnight. For most midnight isn’t a real big deal. For me midnight is right on the border of “Well maybe I should just stay up.” It would be like the average person who has to be work at 9am staying up until 4am. Gross right? But here I am and we are making a go of it, hopefully the show still works today, eh!
When was the last time you were up WAAAY too Late? What happened?
