Unfortunately/Fortunately

Unfortunately, the kids slept like crap last night and woke up at 4:30am.

Fortunately, Amy and Eran dealt with them from 6am until I got out of bed at 7:17.

Unfortunately, my friends who were coming over today got lost on their way.

Fortunately, they brought muffins with them when they did arrive.

Unfortunately, Parker smashed his head on the brick wall after falling on the ladder swing.

Fortunately, despite the level of screaming and amount of blood, he seemed fine an hour later.

Unfortunately, everyone had short naps and woke up in grumpy moods.

Fortunately, baths seem to solve all grumpy problems.

Unfortunately, except today when Parker and Miranda took turns screaming in the tub.

Fortunately, I was able to wash his hair to check out the wound.

Unfortunately, it was large and still bleeding a bit.

Fortunately, there is a Kaiser 10 minutes from here.

Unfortunately, it took 45 minutes on the phone with various Kaiser personnel to determine I just had to take him the emergency room.

Fortunately, as I said, Kaiser is 10 minutes from here.

Unfortunately, there was tons of traffic and it took an hour to get there.

Fortunately, the emergency room was empty and we got right in.

Unfortunately, the little guy had to have 3 staples put in his head.

Fortunately, he was quite a champ and only started screaming on the third one given without the cold, numbing spray.

Unfortunately, Amy had to deal with putting the girls down to bed while I was dealing with all this.

Fortunately, they didn't give her too hard a time.

Unfortunately, Parker didn't get to sleep in Oliver's room tonight.

Fortunately, all my kids are asleep and I'm eating chocolate.
