A Bad Day For Robert

Just thought I'd "pop" in here and say hi. Yesterday was a terrible day for Robert. His bank card was stolen and whoever nabbed it took off to the mall for a shopping spree. They completely drained his bank account and left him overdrawn. Thanks to God, two of the stores caught it as suspicious and didn't allow the purchases- which would have put him another $500+ in the hole- he's already over $100 overdrawn now. Poor guy!

Then last night at 6:00 while Rob was taking Barbara to a babysitting job, the boys decided to play around and play some hockey in the backyard. Only they didn't have a puck, so they improvised and used a much chewed-on dogbone. The only problem is that Robert took a direct blow from just a few feet away to his chin. YUCK!!!!! It busted a good hole in his chin. Long story, short- he has several hours sitting in the ER and a few stitches in his chin to show for his bad day.

Here's to hoping he doesn't have a day like this again. I told him I was going to return his birthday presents and his stitches could be his 18th birthday gift. :) I'm just kidding!

He's alright. Just a sore arm from the tetanus shot, and a slightly sore chin. At least, he'll have a story to spin into a humorous tale someday. :)
