A Side Note...

A few days before we left for the island, I was trying to quietly creep into bed and not wake Amara who was sleeping on the floor (this was at my parent's home). I miscalculated where on the bed I was and actually fell out of the bed, on top of Amara, but more so on top of my left hand which was holding my phone. I heard a loud "crack!" and had a lot of pain in my middle finger. I was so worried that I had broken it! Amara woke up and said "What are you doing?" I told her I had fallen out of bed and she sweetly says "I'm so sorry that happened to you." ðŸ’—
Anyway, my finger was very swollen then next morning and I debated on going to the ER... but decided against it as there weren't any bones jutting out and it wasn't bent strangely. 
It's doing a lot better now, but I still wear the splint a lot. And I have committed to not complaining about my fat knuckles anymore after seeing how fat it got with the swelling! 
Just another little adventure within the adventure

Day 14 May 11

Oh friends, thank you so much for your prayers. This afternoon after I finished washing and doing Amara's hair (which included such inane and slightly insane conversations between the girls I really thought I would lose my ever-loving-mind!), we decided to walk to the beach. It was still raining a bit and I was congratulating myself on becoming all island-ish and not being so worried about the rain, but I brought my big umbrella with me in case it started raining hard and I just wanted to sit and watch the girls. No one uses umbrellas here - it's so strange to me! I felt a little odd walking with a big umbrella... Anyway, when we arrived, the tide was in but on its way out which meant there were new tidal pools to discover every 15 minutes or so. And then! The sun came out for about an hour and it was so warm and beautiful that we had a really hard time leaving. While we were there, I saw an older Inuit woman there with her grandson and we struck up a conversation. She was s...

Brain Wanderings...

Just something I'm mulling over in my mind... Today I had it in my mind that we would enjoy a hard ice cream cone. I wanted a place that had lots of flavours, and I wanted it to be fun and special. It all turned out to be a lot more work than I had anticipated as the first location I was thinking of was too far away. So I messaged someone in Port Alberni that I only know via facebook and she gave me a few suggestions. Google maps is terrible in Port Alberni, so the first plac e it sent us to was wrong. This was already after a long day, and a horrible shopping trip with the girls begging for every piece of junk food under the sun when I'm just trying to get some healthy food on the table for a decent price. At first, when the gps sent us to the wrong place, I decided to just give up and go to McDonalds. But something inside me said to try just one more time. So I drove a bit further - and there it was. The shopping area I had been told about.  We walked in the first store...
