People are stupid!

This is one of Dan's favorite phrases of all time, every time I complain about something somebody says or does he tells me "When are you going to realize that people are stupid?"  Of course that is a generalization and he by no means is trying to say that all people we come in contact with or know are stupid, just some....
I have been talking to a couple of friends about a personal problem that is bugging me to no end, Dan advises me to let it go and move on and of course I want to move on, I can't stand the feeling of being annoyed at somebody or at the situation.  What this situation came to do for me is that I think I am truly a sensitive person (probably using the wrong word here).  I give too much of myself and even though I don't really expect anything back it is just amazing to see how much people can take and take from you and you don't realize it until it is too late.  I am moving on, trying at least and it is hard but in the end it will be alright.
You know I always thought that when a person opens up their heart and stands before as they are that they would see that and appreciate it and if they took the time to understand you and really be there for you but unless you are family I guess you can't really do that.  Some times even family members act that way too.
So this is just for me, so when in the future I look back on this tough time in my life I can remember that even though it was hard it was also a great time in my life, I am so blessed to have met so many people already, of course you can't take your best friends with you wherever you go and the experiences that you live with them will be in your mind for ever and that can't get taken from you.  I am thankful to my Heavenly Father because  even in the little things he teaches me a lesson and that is that no matter what we must love everyone and show humility which some times is so hard to do.  This will pass and I will be OK.

Trip to the ER with the princess.

Sunday night and I am minding my own business doing the dishes when I noticed Kahlan pulling a chair so she can sit on it, turned around and the next thing I hear is a loud noise and Kahlan standing there crying in the chair on top of her foot.  At first glance I just saw what I always see, a kid crying who needed my immediate attention so I went to pick her up and she was just screaming really loud, more than usual.  I could not console her so Dan came to the rescue and when he did then I was able to see the bigger picture.  Shayna came to touch her foot and kiss it but soon started to scream as well saying that there was blood on her sock.  I will spare you the details but you can imagine everyone crying and screaming at the same time and we only freaked her out even more.  In our defense we have never seen so much blood come out of a little foot at once, she was hysterical and the only one who was calmed was Dan.
I don't like taking my kids to the ER because my fear is that they will be OK and the doctors will just send us home making us feel like we wasted their time.
So he foot would not stop bleeding and we decided it was necessary to go, Shayna came with me and it took us about 10 minutes to get there, she was still bleeding and there were 20 people in front of us so we knew it would take a while.  The nurse that the triage didn't even take a look just gave us the bracelet and made us wait for about 2 hours.  By the tame they called her name her foot had stopped bleeding and the ER doctor or whatever she was, said she wasn't even going to touch it....
It was the most frustrating trip to the ER so far, we spent about 3 hours there and they didn't even cleaned the toe or anything to asses the situation.  I was told to take her home and just clean her foot and wait until the nail came off, honestly the toe looked really bad but I had never dealt with a situation like that before, it was our first toe injury in the family.
So we came home, cleaned her toe as best as we could, as best as she could let us.... the whole time she kept saying "no mas" which means "no more" and asked me to cover it so she could not see it.
She is all better now, the nail actually fell a couple of weeks ago and now she is growing a new one but she still hates looking at it and wants to keep her socks on 24/7
She actually did really well for her first experience at the ER and hopefully she wont have to go back for a very long time.  This experience just made us realize how much we all love that little devil, she is the cutest, smartest baby ever and has stolen our hearts for ever, all her siblings cried for her that night and were so sad to see her in pain, I have never seen such a thing in the family before, they truly love her.
Here is a pic I took with my cell phone that night and a picture of the toe nail the day it came loose.
