Things are breaking in this house...

Pin It Now! First the washing machine broke. And it was only 7 years old. We got a new one and it is a front loader which is fun and exciting. Then a few days ago the tv in our family room broke. And that was only 6 years old. Where is the recall people? This morning Shiloh's car wouldn't start and the check engine light came on. That baby is 9 years old. Fortunately he was able to get it started, but now he has to take it to get checked. But the grand broken finale is that I broke my middle toe!

The other night I was walking in the dark from the kitchen to Lydia's room (bringing her water). Actually, it was more of a quick jaunt. When all of the sudden, a chair jumped out into the middle of my path and launched into my toe. It hurt like childbirth... or worse. No it was worse because with childbirth you can get an epidural quite early on - before you feel any real pain. Post a comment if you have broken a toe before and share my pain.

Oh and this isn't a broken item, but I did burn myself the other night. I was straining pasta using the lid and the boiling water escaped and jumped onto my stomach. It wasn't hospital worthy, but I have a nice sized puffy red mark on my stomach. Pin It Now!
