So it turns out I am going crazy.
I have encountered not one, but two unfriendly, crabbily judging mothers at the park this week (so far). In order to flee from the one today the kids and I headed over to the park in the middle of Camino Real. Then after two seconds of being there Kayley fell off of something on the structure I've never seen before and injured her foot. I carried her to the bathroom, Cole peed his pants before we could get there, Katie wouldn't walk in the street and sat down in the middle of the walkway and refused to move and when we did make it to the car Kayley cried the whole way home telling me I shouldn't have taken her there and that the park was an awful place. We made it home and the little ones are asleep. Kayley still won't walk on her foot and I have two options:
1. Kayley is full of crap and she's the best faker ever.
2. There is only a bit of bruising and no signs of breakage but is still injured.
What's a mother to do?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
On the bright side I got to see Wistie and her boyfriend today. She's 21! I can't believe it. She'll always be 12 to me.

I'd ice her foot and make her sit down the rest of the day. If it's not hurt that much, it will get really boring really fast, and if she really doesn't want to walk on it because it hurts that bad, after a few hours of resting that would be obvious. (Wow, does that last sentence [haha, I totally just typed semester] even make sense?!) Is she usually a good faker? When she cries, do tears come out of her eyes? That's how you can tell if Charisse is really hurt. The cried sound the same, but when she's really upset, there are tears involved.
I agree with Krista, make her sit there and ice it. Wistie is 21, wowie! She is will always be 12 to me too! That night we took her and Jalysa to Starbucks is burned in my memory forever! HA!
Why are they crabby and judgy? They shouldn't be. Boo for them.
WOW to all...
Definitely make her sit and ice it for HOURS! She'll probably never complain again! Good one Krista. I can't believe Wistie is 21! Are we getting old?...Nah.
Wistie will always be 8 to me! And Mrs. Batten you will always be 15 to me. Kim if you're getting old I guess that means I'm over the hill! HA! At least this BIG FAT GOALIE doesn't act her age!
Haha Heather. Big Fat Goalie. I remember that!
