An unusual first

[emubren]

I got to sleep in, and I woke up with the sun shining, birds singing, and, ooooh bonus time, the kids are still asleep.  Ah, yes, blissful alone time; just me, my Folgers and maybe some Internetz. 

I tromp, tromp, tromp down the hall to the bathroom, flip on the lights, glance in the mirror (my eyebrows do interesting things when I'm asleep, and I'm always amused by the Watusi caterpillar positions they leave themselves in) and WHAFLUCKERBERGUP!?

So, a couple of days ago, this:

had this:

in her happy little hands.  Combine downward force with Mommy's face, and now I've got this:

I've been through every page in Adria's baby book, but I'm still not seeing the "First Physical Damage to Another Human Being (Not Including the Birth Process)" milestone page.

Ah well.  At least it wasn't her sister's face.

Ouch!  That looks like it will be sore for a few days.  I got a big bruise from Sarah kicking me with those little pointy toes....

Yikes!  Put some ice on that.

Too late for ice, try arnica ointment or gel. I hate getting brained with innocuous looking baby toys.

Ouch!  That's about as bad as the busted lips my 3 year old used to give me.....I didn't move my head fast enough and BAM!

Bren, love, I'm really sorry about your face.

Really, I am. I just want you to know that Jenna did actually read the journal and understands the gist of it.

And now, I go check out the books on your shelf...

Aw Mamma....sorry about the shiner! 

I think the only thing worse than a child-induced injury is an injury that occurs in the presence of a child...who then immediately seems to think that said injury is hysterical, as if they are watching The Three Stooges or something.  I once ran into a large support pole in a store, which nearly caused my 16-year-old son to literally fall on the floor laughing.  I, of course, was no where near amused, with seeing stars and being dizzy and all.

Did I mention that I ran straight into that pole with my head?  Spontaneous laughter was my immediate repayment for the rush purchase of his hair gel for 'the big dance.'  LOL.

Maybe if you thought of it as a 'love bite'?
