You know what I will be glad to see the end of, what I will NOT MISS when Stinkerbelle is grown, a few short-ish years from now?
No more blunt force trauma to my face.
Not a day goes by where I am not smacked in the teeth or mouth by something she’s wielding in her flailing little hands. Not a day goes by where her cement head does not impact the bones of my face in such a way as to cause pain, if I am lucky, or a fat lip or bruising or some sort if I am not.
Earlier, I went to snuggle my daughter, and my cheekbone met her skull with epic force as she writhed and squirmed and did kid-type things. Hey, at least it wasn’t my eye socket. (Oh yeah. That was yesterday.)
Gah. Is there danger pay offered with this job?
(And if one single earth-mother-happy-lovey-touchy-feely Mama comes along and gives me the “oh, in a few years all those memories will just MELT AWAY and you’ll just FORGET ALL ABOUT THEM!!” like they used to say about the adoption wait, I swear, as doG is my witness, I will show them what blunt force trauma to the face can REALLY MEAN.)
Oh, you won’t forget the blunt-force-trauma. It’s what causes me to grip my 9 year-old gently but firmly when planting the goodnight kiss.
*hugs Maria tight*
At last! I have found my people! Someone who understands me!
Dude. I feel you. Remember the dislocated mandible of a few short years ago? Well, I DO. And cinnamon bits that hurt! Oh, and in our case, we STILL have random jabs, stepped on toes and other “accidents”. Kids are hell on a body, I tell you what.
LOL. Between parental bruising and daredevils causing heart failure, I see why there is reason to fear the short people.
Since I don’t want to be in the same pain as you I will just say HI.
Ugh! Tell me about it. Try having two boys! At least girls out grow this, my 40 year old hubby still loves to wrestle and play rough. Did someone tell you it would melt away? I would melt her face off with my stare down if someone said that to me!
I currently have a slight black eye inflicted by Sport’s rock hard skull, and he’s 6. So, yeah, don’t expect that to stop anytime soon.
You had to bring up the adoption wait, did ya?
If I hear that one more time, I’m sending them your way, or maybe better yet, let Stinkerbelle go after them!
Have you tried wearing a helmet while she is awake?
