This is what it looked like a couple of days after.
Here is what it looked like right after it happened....that swelling was instant! (Dang....I have such a HUGE nose!)Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Birthdays and a Concussion
Hmmmm.....what a month we've had.....too many things have happened in the last month to even begin to write about, I'd be here for days! Things are less strained with my sister being out of the house....and she has been nicer to us and is finally taking care of herself again....she hopes to be able to get her own place soon (she's staying with a friend) so that her boys can be with her again. I hope so, too....those kids need their momma.
School is going well, just finished the Yeast Breads module, and am now in the Pastry Techniques module, I will do Pies & Tarts to round out the quarter. I feel like I'm finally getting into my element at school.....it does help to have newer people than me in the program now! They make it seem like I actually know something...haha!
On Sunday I gave myself a mild concussion while at work....oops.....stepping on a piece of paper and turning at the same time is no good....especially when you ram your forehead into a cabinet door handle that has pointed edges.....I'll post a couple of photos on here of what it looked like...ick! Boss lady made me go to the hospital immediately, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I still have a headache from it, and a big ass bruise on the side of my face....which is slowly seeping toward my neck, almost looks like I have a black eye now.
Oh and then later Sunday night, L had her fingers in her bedroom door's jamb, and hubby closed the door.....breaking her thumb....argh! We took her to the doc, they said it should heal just fine on its own, her thumb isn't crooked in anyway and she can still bend it....but obviously doesn't want to.....she has been babying that thumb so much! Poor munchkin! And the hubby just feels terrible about it....
The boys, D & E are doing well.....still living with us.....my sis sees them occasionally which suits her and us.....although the boys would much rather get to spend more time with her......D keeps asking all kinds of questions that I cannot in good conscience answer, and I think he is mad at his mom......seems like he only wants to spend time with her to see her boyfriend's kids. Not sure how I feel about the boyfriend yet, but hopefully he isn't a jerk like her husband.
E just turned 2! He is getting so big, and has changed so much since he moved in with us back in August.....he can speak so well, and is very assertive, things that will undoubtedly be very beneficial to him in the future.
D is almost 5, and I worry about him the most....he's had to see way too many things in his short five years.....I'm worried about him going to school, too.....his favorite colors are purple and pink (in that order), he wants his ears pierced (both of them--so he can have purple dangly earrings), wants to wear my heels, and is very sensitive....I'm not worried about what those things may MEAN, if anything......but I am worried about how other kids will treat him......I remember how mean kids can be.
Today is my daddy's birthday....he's been such a great person in my life and has always been there for me...I love him so much!
On Friday is my youngest sis's b-day, A,...she'll be 19...can't believe she is that old already....she was only 9 when hubby and I started dating! I'm so proud of her, she really has her head screwed on straight and is going to make something great of herself.
Next week is the hubster's b-day....29! He's almost in the 30s! And I remind him of it constantly....hehe.....I cannot believe that we have been together for 10 years! I love the man so much and am so glad he is such a great husband and best friend.....can't wait until our schedules work out so that we can see each other more often.....he works so hard and I'm so grateful for that, and for him being able to take on my sis's kids without hesitation....he really does just love people and want to help.
