*95** scenes from the weekend

No 2 broke his arm yesterday, on the 2nd minute of his 2nd rugby match of the season.  Buckle fracture, cast and no contact sports for 6 to 8 weeks.

It is going to be fun.

Not.

He's already bored out of his mind, and we're only a day into the sentence... it totally feels like a sentence... for me... you have no idea what it's going to be like to have No 2 off sports.  It will be ugly..

I took him and No 3 for a quick ran around on top of the hill.  It was windy and crispy (bloody cold actually) and he chilled out a little.

Did I mention he also broke a window this afternoon?

Oh yes.  

Apparently he was trying to open it and it was stuck and his knee slipped, .... I know... don't ask... why was a knee involved? I really don't want to know, I'm trying to be all zen about it.

He was sorry.

And to be honest... he's had a pretty horrid week... his favourite art teacher resigned, he broke his arm and then the window...  I couldn't go heavy on the lad.

It was a beautiful evening and the wind definitively blew away all the cobwebs.

Now I'm waiting for the chicken to cook with a glass of white wine by my side... here's to a better week to come!

Cheers.

Sorry to hear about number two, I hope he is better soon and that your week ahead will be a much better one! xx

Oh dear, poor No 2, that's no fun at all. I completely sympathise with the problem of having an active boy suddenly off sports for six weeks. When the biggest broke his kneecap and had his leg in plaster from the top of his thigh to his ankle it was a nightmare. He took to trying to play football with his crutches on in the garden when he thought I wasn't looking. I had visions of him falling over with one completely straight leg and breaking his arm. He did manage to zip around really fast on the crutches in the end. I do hope No 2 heals quickly. The window thing is mind-boggling. I guess with just one arm you have to improvise. CJ xx

I remember all the rugby injuries coming in each weekend when I was in hospital with Eldest a few years ago. I'd suggest locking him in his room for safety but if he can break a window with his knee....

Oh no--he did have quite a week! Still trying to visualize the knee incident...how?! xx
