What's Blue and Purple and Hurts All Over?

How about my foot?




We took a trip to the pool yesterday, which quickly took a turn for the not-so-fun.

Suffice it to say, it involved one of our children, a behavior issue, and although it wasn't intentional, an unpleasant ending for me. And I am serious when I say that labor and delivery never felt as miserable as this.

My toe is broken. And ever so pretty too. I took a picture of it just for memory's sake. And no, my toe is not freakishly longer than my big toe...go figure.

Any suggestions on how to catch the kids when I can hardly walk?

  2. Oh no! Yikes! Hopefully no one else was hurt!

    That toe will be the source of discomfort for a while! I am speaking from experience on this one!

    Sorry . . . no suggestions other than bribes!

  4. I say use the Monkey Backpacks (aka: leash) found at WalMart. I've discovered that you can put a sturdy clip on the end and hook them to numerous things. :)




    *Dear social services, I have only ever clipped my children to the stroller. Really.*

  5. OUCH! I'm hurtin' for you as I look at that picture. And I will also attest that your toe indeed isn't "freakishly long" as one might assume from that picture. ;-) Hope it heals super-fast.

  7. That looks horrible! No suggestion on catching the kids. Probably baby gates and lots of movies.
    I pray you have a quick and easy recovery!
