All My Loyal Subjects

I apologize for being away for the past month. Luckily I saw most of my readership at Kelly's house for book club, so you already know my stories.

The past month has been pretty chaotic with visits and C.'s surgery, spring breaks and midterms. I am beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel and some peace.

C.'s surgery went well. He returned to school today. He has not been in pain at all since his surgery. However, as soon as we entered the building, he began limping and saying, "oww, oww, oww". The teacher looks at me. I am a deer in the headlights. I am pleading,"He's fine, I promise. He hasn't complained since the surgery. I swear." I AM NOT A BAD MOM!!!

He takes the sock off his cast, limps into the classroom and flicks the light switch. Once he has everyone's attention he states, " I have an announcement. I am back. I have a cast and you all may sign it."

He then finds a chair in the center of the room and allows his loyal subjects to flock about his feet.
