The top lip is all swollen, though it's hard to see with a cellphone pic.


I decided to try and joke around with the hubby tonight, so I ran into the living room and started smacking him with a dish towel. Lizzy went in the kitchen and grabbed a dish towel too and started to smack him. I went back in the kitchen and was standing by the stove. I heard Jim say "go smack mommy with the towel" so I just stood by the stove, waiting for her. I turned my back and suddenly I hear a thud on the kitchen floor. I turn around and see her sprawled on the floor, face down, screaming bloody murder. My heart dropped and I ran to her, scooped her up, and studied her mouth. My biggest fear is her losing a tooth or breaking another one (bathtub incident last August left her with a chipped front tooth) The blood was gushing from her mouth and I flipped out. Turns out she bit her top lip when she went down. Her teeth and gums are fine, thank god. Jim comes running out, screaming at me that I tripped her again or did something to hurt her. Umm, dude, I was at the stove. She fell by the fridge, a few feet away... Then my Mother in Law comes up screaming "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED". Dammit, why do I get blamed when my daughter gets hurt? FUCK!!

3rd mouth injury in a little over a year. This kid's setting a record. Heart attacks just keep comming when you're a mom of a toddler.

Sad though when my lover cares more about my daughter than her own father

Anyway.. I got a nice nap today with Liz before I ran to Subway for dinner. I was up until a little after 3am and got up at 8. I got to enjoy a conversation with a legal consultant today to figure out some information on my future. I'm excited with what I've found out. Especially now that in a few months it won't be as hard to get a divorce. I'm thrilled. Highly thrilled. I'm sick of how he treats me every single day, and now I've finally taken a step in the right direction. Thank you Lord.

Anyway, I'm going to go put the poor one to bed. We've got a busy day tomorrow. My Father In Law is going for a catheterization to see if he has any blockage in his heart that would require surgery sooooo we'll be spending a good chunk of the day in a hospital. Bleh.

My tooth went through my lip, too, when I was that age. I think it happens to more kids than you think, from what I've seen. I totally appreciate the little scar it left, anyway. Makes things more unique.

how crappy...it's good that it wasn't anything too major. I'm always the one that is around when Greg gets hurt (I smushed his finger in the car door and all that)

Good luck with all that legal stuff. I'll cross my fingers for you.

re: Greg's doing good. No poopies anymore (well, not a whole lot anyway)
