No job. Yes bite. Yes concussion.

My son was sledding at a neighbor's house and somehow hit a building with his head. His vision was messed up, and Maggie took him, in the snow, to the doctor. They said he was concussed, and needed a CT scan. It came back normal, but my son became totally lethargic. He fell asleep at the CT scan place. So now it looks like they are sending him to the ER.

Did I mention that the fucking corgi bit my daughter this morning? My younger son was pulling her hair, she was screaming, and the dog ran in and bit her on the arm. The consensus is that the corgi was going for my younger son, but missed. Either way, it's bad news. We're talking about what to do about this.

I didnt' get the job. It was a little strange: they said that they thought I was great for the job as described, but that the President of the company (it's a multinational shop) wanted someone who could run all the different divisions, which would mean a staff about 15 times larger than mine. Made sense. Maggie's going to be totally happy. She didn't want me to take it anyway. And my little company has gone from 300k to 600k to 1000k in sales year over year over year, so quitting now would probably be a waste of a LOT of effort.

But I feel so pressured, sometimes.

Anyway, I don't mean to whine. This has been a crazy-ass day. Hell, this is a crazy-ass day. No more news for me, please. Too much has happened already.

Love to all.

Let us know how your son is as soon as you get a chance, OK?

And, oh, the Corgi story is so sad. You're right. It's not good. Poor little girl. Poor pup. Poor Rich and Maggie.

Keep us updated...

Wow hun! What a rough day. There's no worry like that of a parent with a hurt/sick child. I really hope everything looks better tomorrow!

Hey, thanks!

My boy is back. And unconscious. We have to check him every few hours to make sure he's rousable.

But all seems to be well for the moment. Yikes!

Yikes... THere's nothing quite as scary as a parent, than when something like that happens to a child, is there. I hope the little guy is okay. Keep us posted!
