I know, it's terrible of me to whip out my camera in Eliza's time of desperate need. But, it was so stinkin' hilarious to see her stuck, doing the splits, that I just couldn't let this one go. She wasn't hurt but she was seriously ticked off. Wow.
I've gotten my due recompense, never fear. I have cut myself twice with a serrated knife (two different knives), in just over twelve hours, on the same hand but different fingers, thankfully (as if there is something to be thankful for! I guess not cutting my finger(s) off would be one thing...).
Let me give you a little golden nugget of wisdom.... DON'T CUT YOURSELF WITH A SERRATED KNIFE!! It hurts like the dickens.
I was so mad with the first cut; I was in a hurry (what else is new); I was doing twenty-five things at once, I reached for a spoon in the clean dish drainer and the cake/brownie cutting thingy jumped right in front of my hand and sliced my thumb. It did it on purpose, I just know it. I nearly lost it!
Cut number two...
This morning I was flying low. Seriously, you probably couldn't even see me clearly, should you have looked, I am quite sure I was blurry because of the speed I was working at. I was trying to get us out the door so we could meet bloggy friends, Michelle and Eden down in Roswell for the Buddy Walk, which was in support of Michelle's daughter, Kayla.
(We made it by the way)
Anyways, I was at the sink reaching for something, again in the clean dishes, when the cheese knife jumped in front of my hand and sliced my middle finger open. GLORY! I did lose it that time. I was livid! And bleeding. And, worst of all, I had to stop and deal with another cut finger.
Let's just say: Serrated knives are on my black list. We are not friends. I'm sure we will not be on speaking terms any time soon.
And you can bet your bottom dollar I was super duper careful about reaching into the dish drainer this evening. Stupid knives. My fingers hurt.
I solemnly swear, no more pictures of Eliza doing the splits...

Yikes! 2 cuts in 12 hours! Hope they heal up soon!
And we all know we would have taken the picture! :)
It would have been a shame to not get that picture. It's priceless! And your poor fingers! Stay away from knives today, m'kay?
You poor thing!! Stinkin' knives! If it makes you feel any better I'll give you a story of my klutziness to cheer you up. This morning, on our way out the door for church, I was in a hurry (as usual) and fell out of my front door and down the steps. I cut my leg on the steps and twisted my ankle. J. and the kids were already in the car, 15 feet in front of me, but didn't see me laying on the ground for a good 3 minutes. The camera across the street on the HQ building? It caught the whole thing. :) You can call me grace from now on.
Oh! That poor baby!
Meltdown photos are THE BEST. I never tire of them...
LOL, I cut myself in succession all the time...I hope you feel better soon!
I hope your fingers feel better quickly!!!
Here is my klutz story.. this happened while I was preggo with DS2.
I was sitting on my couch cutting my steak that I had made for dinner and my steak knife slipped and jabbed me in my thigh! I have a little scar.
We will just put you in a bubble. :)
Awww - sweet baby!
Sorry about the knives, they can just jump right out at ya, can't they???
1. Your knives are too sharp! You need knives like mine, so dull I can run my finger across it with no skin breakage at all. Why do I keep dull knives? Because I don't know what to do with them. Is it safe to throw knives in the trash?
2.The picture of gymnastic girl is sooooo cute. She's getting back at you with stair climbing. :) She's smart.
The cuts were worth it for that picture! Priceless!
Ouch! Sorry you cut yourself twice! I tend to cut my fingers with pampered chef utensils way too often LOL
we were so glad you guys could make it! Thanks for coming out for the walk! When you get a chance would you mind emailing me some of your pictures? I'll do the same too :) Thanks!
