Tragic Happenings

Okay- I knew this day would come. The day my perfect angel totally breaks and wrenches my heart.

Being the cheap and less-than-well-to-do-financially college students that we are, and seeing as how we no longer have easy access to free laundry, we decided to try to save a buck by drying our clothes, rather than spend the whopping $0.75 to dry them, on our wooden drying rack.

Christian found the drying rack covered with his clothes to be quite fascinating. This is where the trouble began.

I was in our bedroom folding laundry when I heard a piercing scream- ran out, found Christian playing with the bottom dow rod and snapped it- it broke, whipped out, and sliced open his face. I didn't know the face slicing part immediately. His eyes wre shut tight and i was afraid he had gotten something in them. Then about 3 seconds later this huge blooding scrape appears all across his forehead. The thing you can't see is that it extended clear back to the crown of his head.

I almost panicked. Luckily, Heavenly Father was watching out for the perfect angel, and the rod missed his eye by about 2 mm. AGHH. It was super scary.



This is after his nap. He is so quick to forgive his nitwit mama. Though I think his totally loving smile makes the whole thing even more painful.

Worst is that it's right across his face so every time I look at him there's no hiding the guilt. On the way to school that day, people would smile at him in the stroller but with a "oh you POOR CHILD! What in the heck have they let happen to you?!?" kind of a smile. Some would just turn away. AGH. The guilt.
