Motherhood is dangerous. It should come with a warning.. not onlyare you at risk from severe sleep deprivation and a nervous breakdown, you can also get whacked over the head by a dolly!
OH YES! DD2 was putting her dolly to bed on the couch where I was lying down tryingto regain my sanity among the chaos when WHAM.. down came the all singing all pee-ing all burping, 2.3kilo BabyBorn doll on my head. Well on my eye specifically. I screamed, she screamed and dd1 (ever the calminginfluence) ran and got the ice pack from the fridge! Check out my other post about DD1′s amazing medical knowledge (“First Aid”) and she is only 5 years old! (I would say that she is going to be a doctor but her bedside manner is too good!). So now I have a lovely shiner on my right eye.
And as if thatwasn’t enough.. while at the doctor giving a blood sample the following day DD2, gave an almighty wriggle while sitting on my lap just as the needle was approaching and the doc kind of missed the vein, thus inflicting another huge bruise right down my inner arm and elbow. (in fairness to DD2 she had just had her vaccinations the other day so she prob thought the needle was heading her way!).
So I kind of look like I was beaten up. Great. To give you an idea of how bad I look, one friend (friend?) even commented how lucky I was that DH was away or people would be talking.
But NO… thats not quite enough. I am on antibiotics (for yet another chest infection.. we are the house that harbours every illness!).. and they have been making me VERY dopey.. so by Fri night I was also slurring my speech.
Black eye. Bruised arms and slurred speech.
I told you motherhood was dangerous!
