I would say today was a great day. Cody and I went to an Easter Egg hunt which was surprisingly a lot of fun. They organized it well and the children all played in various activities like tug a war, children bowling and of course the easter egg hunt. It truly was a good 1 1/2 hours of fun. Afterward, Cody and I walked home and it was actually turning out to be a very nice day weather wise. The sun was shinning bright and the coolness of the morning was wearing off to the point that I changed from jeans and long sleeves to capri's and short sleeves.
Cody and I ate lunch outside on our back deck. Daddy already ate before we got home so I heated up a few left overs and we put a blanket down and ate. We have such great conversations too.
Later Ken came out and started working in the yard. I decided this would be a great time to clean out Mr. Krabs cage too. So as I was doing that, Cody started to get a little bored. How could he be bored today on such a nice day. So he started riding his bike. I texted his friend Alex's mom to see if Alex would like to come over and hang out for a bit. He did and Cody was happy.
After about a hour Ken and I thought it would be fun to have Alex eat dinner and watch a movie with us. I got the ok from Alex's mom so I thought hamburgers and hot dogs would be perfect on the grill. Alex wanted to ride bikes outside so I walked with them to his house and picked up his bike. The boys were having a great time. I went back inside the house to check if I needed to buy anything from the grocery store. Next thing I know I hear crying. Crying?
Alex's dad was walking back toward our house with Cody. Apparently Cody rode his bike behind Alex and he got to close touching Alex's back wheel with his front wheel. Cody said, Kowabunga.....and down he went. He was a hot mess. Thank goodness for helmets but somehow he got his hand all scrapped up and his nose and the skin between his nose and upper lip. He was crying bloody murder which I had never heard that loud of a cry from him before. I felt so bad that I wasn't there to help him. I just saw the boys like less than 5 min ago. They were just riding up and down our street and....crash!
Ken cleaned him up and urged me to stay away since Cody seemed to be more dramatic whenever I got near. He has it in his head that I baby Cody. Which I swear I don't. So I went to the grocery store and got hot dogs and a movie while Cody was getting "taken care of" by daddy.
When I got home, all was well. The boys were in the basement and I told them I would have dinner ready in 30 min. Whipped it up and they all ate it up. I'm impressed with my grilling skills. I know it's only hot dogs and hamburgers but still I haven't really used the grill in several months. So I have to get my timing down so I don't over/under cook anything.
The movie "The Good Dinosaur" was really cute but there were "tear jerker" parts in that movie. So it got me a bit emotional. Don't laugh, I know it's a cartoon but geez...it just made me think about how precious life is. Thank goodness Cody just fell off his bike and didn't run into a car or something more serious.
So when we got home, Ken mentioned to me that my face was red. Huh? A red face. I was crying a bit through the movie so I'm sure my eyes are a bit blood shot. He said, no your cheeks. I looked in the mirror and sure enough, my right side check and forehead is a tad red. Now that he has brought it to my attention it seems a bit itchy and warm. And now that I look at it closer, there is a small dot like a mole on my cheek and of course.....where does my brain immediately go? Yes, you guessed it. Skin cancer! My friend Chris just had skin cancer right above his forehead and he posted a photo on Facebook with stitches where the dermatologist cut it out. How could I have not put sun screen on today? How can I be so stupid?? Now I have this gut feeling that the little mole on my face which I don't recall being there lately is cancer. I can only hope that its a sun spot but now I'm stressing!
I gave Cody a shower tonight to wash off all the pollen and tend to his wounds. Neosporin and band-aids are our friends tonight. So hopefully I will get a good nights rest tonight and try not to stress myself out to much.
