Nick's Toe

On Monday, I took Nick in to get his ingrown toenail fixed. So we went into the doctor's office and were waiting for him when Nick looked down and chuckled. On the floor, right next to the doctor's chair, was a dremel tool, complete with a grinding attachment, all plugged in and ready to go. We were both thinking, he's not using that, is he? It reminded us of the Jack-in-the-Box commercial where the doctor used a glue gun on Jack's head, and we just thought it was funny. I told Nick, "If he comes in here and picks up the dremel, we are OUT of here!" But he didn't, so it was all ok. He cut the nail on both sides, and put something there that is supposed to make it never grow back. So that's that. I did take a picture of Nick's toe all bandaged up, but the boys (Nick and Danny) told me that was just too gross to post. ("Mom, your weird!").

And I decided they were right.

While the doctor was fixing Nick's toe, he started asking me questions about homeschooling. I was all relaxed and answering his questions, until he mentioned he was on the school board. Then I got all intimidated, but it was fine. He was really nice. He even offered me to bring Cara in for a field trip to just observe stuff. Cool, huh?
