ouch!

Christmas eve was a busy one. Daddy was working. I was running around last minute treats, making bread, getting ready for everything.

I had run a treat to a girl I visit teach. K called to tell me my youngest two had decided to play beauty shop and C now had about a gallon of gel in her hair. I was on my way home and told K to put her in my shower and I would bathe her when I got home.

I go home, washed her hair, and went to finish making bread and get her some clothes. Next thing i hear is screaming. C comes out, wrapped in a town and blood dripping from her chin.

I quickly peek at it (i am so queasy with blood...) and knew right away she would need stitches.

I grabbed a towel, put it on her chin, quickly get her dressed and then slapped a bandaid on her chin. 

we headed over to an instacare near our house.

Decided on stitches. oh my. what an ordeal. it's very difficult to hold someone's chin still. As soon as they tried the numbing shots, she was crying and screaming and moving. it was horrible. finally got them in. They started stitching her up. Her crazy behavior doubled as soon as he started the first stitch. She was kicking her legs, wiggling, screaming... poor girl. It was obvious she wasn't numbed.

He got one stitch in, and we both agreed. Derma bond.

With a few more tears, the derma bond was applied. We made it home about an hour and a half later. poor girl.

not a great way to spend christmas eve.
