I broke my face...

I have always been a klutz.. as a child I was covered in scrapes and cuts.. As I grew into an adult, the klutz gene did not disappear... Yesterday was proof of this...

I tripped over the vacuum (which wasn't being used, just sitting there), fell about 2 feet full force and bashed my face against the corner of the computer chair arm... The result? Blood gushing from my face and a huge gash on my cheek...


Luckily it hasn't bruised much, but it is all swollen...(the left cheek is twice as big as the right cheek!)


It is now half way through the day and after a peroxide wash and LOTS of ice, it has gone down and my face is looking much better..

The Rebel Child

Katie decided she wanted to put on some temporary tattoos... I told her to go ahead and have fun.. a half an hour later she comes out of the bathroom with half her arm covered in 14 designs...

Fourth of July

This 4th was kinda uneventful.. Katie was running a fever, so that ruled out going anywhere for fear of infecting the world... So we stayed home, played games, watched movies, and had our own family fun...

I was hoping that Joey would last until 9 so we could all watch the fireworks, but it didn't happen...

Katie and Jerry went down the street to the bay-front and watched the shows across the county.. I was able to see the local I.B. show from the front yard...
