Ok so you know that as a mom you can never get sick?\u00a0 Well apparently you can never get injured either.\u00a0 No one cares.<\/p>\n
This morning I went in to wake up my 11 year old who was still sleeping at 10:45am.\u00a0 I tried letting his dog jump on his head, I let the dogs bark outside his door, nothing.\u00a0 So finally I did it myself- 7am is going to come very early tomorrow morning when he has to get up for school.<\/p>\n
So anyway we are chatting as I am trying to put my shoes on.\u00a0 It isn’t easy bending your legs when you have big scabs on both knees so of course I am complaining.<\/p>\n
He lays there rubbing his eyes and says, “have you cut yourself in the last 20 years mom?”<\/p>\n
I could see where this was going.\u00a0 “you think I am complaining a lot?”<\/p>\n
“um, yeah.\u00a0 Maybe you should practice that Wii balance.”<\/p>\n
Well dang it, they hurt!\u00a0 I am still trying to figure out how I am going to cut bags- I can’t hold a rotary cutter in my hand.<\/p>\n
Sigh.<\/p>\n
The funny thing yesterday was the reaction I got from people.\u00a0 When I paid for my hummus sandwich at Cosi the girl took\u00a0 my money with her fingertips- staring at my gaping wound.<\/p>\n
When I went over to the table to meet my friend Aimee she wordlessly handed me a napkin- I think she thought it was catchup or something.\u00a0 I just shook my head- this is how it looks after<\/em> I cleaned it up.<\/p>\n I went home and tried to cover it in band-aids- of course all we had were Snoopy and they wouldn’t stick.<\/p>\n My friend Julie came over to pick up Cole and said, “geesh, you look like one of your kids- you wipe out??”<\/p>\n Two more of my friends told me that I needed a much better story than tripping over my dog because that was well, not that cool.\u00a0 One suggested that I say I fought off a mugger.<\/p>\n So I guess I better suck it up and keep my mouth shut- since my kiddos are tired of hearing me complain.\u00a0 I am going to remember this the next time one of them falls down, which I am sure will happen this afternoon or tonight at football practice.\u00a0 Deaf ears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ok so you know that as a mom you can never get sick?\u00a0 Well apparently you can never get injured either.\u00a0 No one cares.
