Being Clumsy Posted in Family Life
Man, oh, man - I can't believe what a silly I pulled tonight.
It all started out when I was making cheesy chicken for supper - that's where you season the chicken, put it in the oven to cook and when it is done baking you lay slices of cheddar cheese on it, put it back in the oven until the cheese has melted. Well, everything was going really well until it came time to slice the cheese. We have one of those cheese slicers where you just lay it on top of the cheese, pull back and voila you have a slice of cheese.
The first slice of cheese worked really well, then came time to slice the second piece (cue the suspenseful music). My first clue that something was going to happen was when the slicer got stuck in the block of cheese - did that stop me? Did that make me ponder a different route to take????? Nope, neither of those things happened. Sigh, I just kept pulling back on the slicer until it pulled free and sliced right into my thumb!!!!!
Thankfully Don was home when this happened, although as he put it "The kids have their First Aid tickets, they could have helped if I wasn't home" - you can totally hear the sympathy can't you, lol. He is right, though, if he hadn't been home the kids could have helped me out. I'm not really sure how deep the cut is, I was trying not to look at it (kind of hoping that if I didn't look it wouldn't hurt as much, lol, it didn't work, lol).
So, now I am bandaged up and you wouldn't believe how many things you actually need your thumb for. Another blessing in this is that it happened to my left hand and not my right one. I had been planning on working on the BFF socks that I started on Saturday, on second thought, I think I'll give my thumb a rest and just relax with a cup of tea and watching some TV .... hmmmmm, I think Bones is on tonight.

Thanks, MJ - it's actually feeling much better today, not doing that 'Flintstone' thing where it just keeps throbbing and throbbing. =)
