Oh, uncle. Uncle.

Two awful, awful days.
Gman has seven stitches in his pinkie. He’s lucky he still has the top part of it. I had to look at it to prove I wasn’t squeamish, but…geez. At least he had “fun” while waiting SIX hours in the ER (when the doctor pulled our napkin — hey, I wonder what happened to that napkin? — back, it was still oozing). Witness this:
Ayep. That’s my husband.
In other news, Pea has been such a bitter little pill for two days she’s had her TV privileges revoked. Yes, I know this punishes me more than it does her, but I’m kind of limited in that we don’t spank. (Although I was pretty tempted today.)
If you’re keeping track, that’s two amazing days of wanting to curl up in a fetal position following a couple of weeks of being in the same place. I would work my way through it (and have tried) but I don’t actually get more than a few minutes of uninterrupted time before the next “hey, Mom” hits.
I’m currently working on the AAL’s Guide to Law School, which has me dredging up my old journals — pretty funny stuff, actually. It’s crazy the stuff you think is important in law school.

I was just chatting with a lawyer friend about how little law school really matters in our legal careers. But when you’re in it, you think your entire career depends on it! Sorry you are having rough days!
It’s been hilarious. Oh, the journal entries I wrote! Agonizing about reading for Torts!
I hope it all gets better, glad Dman’s fingertip was saved!
Thanks! Today is a better day. (A little. But better.)
It’s never a good day when you have to go to the ER.
In re: not spanking, I’ve found that cleaning is great punishment. At Pea’s age, baseboards are perfect. At my house, the running joke whenever there is an area that becomes cluttered is “the next one of you to get in trouble gets to deal with this.” Major offenses get the fridge–yuck!
I had her clean baseboards today! This is great, because I hate doing it but I hate seeing dirty baseboards more. Thanks for the tip!
