Two Stitches

Today was supposed to be a stay-in kind of day because Grace and I have started the sniffles. My goal was to tackle the mountain of laundry that never seems to go away and start taking down the Christmas decorations.

Things didn't quite go according to plan.

While I was taking a load of clothes out of the dryer, Grace decided she'd put the taking down of the Christmas decorations in her own hands. She managed to climb onto her table and pull down a stocking and stocking holder right onto her forehead.

The girl cried for a second while I checked out the wound, but immediately stopped when I promised her a Hello Kitty band-aid. Although the cut was small and stopped bleeding right away, I was concerned about how deep it looked. So I took her to the ER to make sure it was okay.

Two and a half hours and two stitches later, we finally walked out of the ER. She is doing perfectly fine. I, on the other hand, could use a glass of wine (or something since I can't drink).


Loving the fact that she gets to wear a Hello Kitty band-aid.
