this past weekend, we were hit with a couple of whammies. the first one was little j's eyeball. he bonked noggins with a girl while dancing at the "Irish Spudfest" on saturday night. it was a lot worse then, and is getting a lot better here in the picture. tonite he can open his eye about halfway, and he thinks he looks like a hockey player. so i guess that means he's cool. the funny part was, we went to church on sunday morning when it looked really bad. the priest tells the congregation about a seminar all parents should attend on how to spot child abuse...

the second whammy occured while i was mowing the lawn. i was zipping along in the thick, green grass when out of nowhere i hear a loud CRACK. my neighbor looks at me in horror and points ACROSS THE STREET to where the husband's car is parked. the entire window was shattered. this was a good 30 feet away. if a kid would have been riding by on a bike, i don't even want to think about what would have happened. keep those kids away from the mowers.
scary stuff.

otherwise, all is well. the husband and i celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss on thursday. he says he got me something "sentimental." this comes from a man who bought me a lint roller for valentines day one year. wish me luck :)
