4 Bits and tidbits

Lyle's family
Crystal Price posted a summary of her Friday a week ago, March 12 (you would have thought it was a Friday the 13th or something):

There we are having a lazy day at home. Schooling was finished, and I was sitting at the computer while my oatmeal butterscotch cookies baked. Josh was out working on his truck. Just as the timer is going off for the oven, Josh comes in running holding his hand and proclaims, "I cut myself!!!" AHH!!!

I spring into action and follow him into the bathroom and get out the First Aid kit. He is washing his hand in the sink and pouring peroxide over the wound... I sneak a peek at the damage (yikes) and begin to feel a little light headed, but push on looking for some little gauze pads. "Darn, we're all out," I thought, "Guess we'll have to make do with some band aids."

I was certain Josh needed stitches, but since we have no insurance and already have hospital bills from my last visit, I knew Josh would not go. Still feeling a little light headed, I hear Josh say, "Hey, Babe... If I hold this open can you pour on the peroxide." He looks over and I'm leaning on the bathroom door.

"She must be taking a breath," he thinks to himself. Then I slump back into the cabinets and onto the floor.

So... there I am passed out on the bathroom floor. Josh is bleeding all over the sink. The cookies are burning (bet you forgot about those), and the timer is blaring. Which woke up Eli from her nap, and now she's screaming. Josh wakes me and for one split second I had no idea where I was and how I got there. It all came streaming back to me, and I burst into tears and started laughing at myself.
