Why I Have More Grey Hair – 5 Stitches

12.12.11

While on the phone with Mark explaining why my day wasn’t shaping up so great, I heard a thump. And, then some crying.

You know how sometimes you look at your kid and think, “hmmm…should I call the doctor? Do we really need to go to the E.R.? I don’t know…” 
This wasn’t one of those times.
It was more like a “meet-me-at-the-ER-in-15-minutes” time. 
Where apparently, getting 5 stitches is a lot of fun.
But, apparently, getting those aforementioned stitches out is not so fun.
And, posing for Mom to take pictures after the fact to show off how pretty she is, is just plain annoying.
I swear I have a dozen more grey hairs than I did last week. 
She’s worth every one though.

    Yes! That smile on her face in the last photo sure makes every grey hair worth showing off.

    I have a feeling those aren’t your last grey hairs either! What a cute little stinker.

    If you have any Vitamin D gel caps around, poke a pin in one and rub a little of the vitamin D on the scar. Do that every day for a little while and the scar will disappear. Trust me…it works. It did for our kids and a couple others I know of who had stitches on their faces.

    Hugs to you mom. She is an imp!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
