Forgetfullness can be a Blessing



While one was busy getting cleaned up the other was deep into the trash seeing if there was anything good to eat. Back when this actually happened I had a horrible day and mentioned it to several people who said that my day was blog worthy and something I needed to write about or I would forget it. I thought that it was not possible to forget that day but as the months have passed I seemed to have forgotten the majority of it. I do remember it started with Landon falling off a two step stool and hitting his head on the corner of the bathroom drawer then slicing open his finger on Jeff's razor that was in the bathroom drawer where we didn't think he could reach it. I didn't even know he cut himself until Hayden came out to tell me there was blood everywhere and there literally was blood everywhere. Landon's face, clothes, the drawers, bathtub, step stool. It looked like an animal had been slaughtered but no one was crying. It took me a few minutes to figure out where the blood was coming from and then it took a long time to stop the bleeding as Landon was not thrilled having me apply pressure to his finger. Not that it hurt he just didn't want to sit still. Band aids are useless since he pulls them off although I tried several times. Then while trying to fix lunch I became distracted because Hayden came out to the kitchen soaking wet. He was trying to shave with a play razor thankfully. But while I was tending to him I burnt our grilled cheese sandwiches and didn't have any bread left. While cleaning up that mess and trying to figure out an alternate lunch I find Landon digging through the trash eating the discarded remnants from breakfast. I know there was several other eventful things that happened that day but this all that I remember months later. Probably was a good thing I don't remember it all. Sometimes the brain knows what its doing by allowing us to forget. Ahhh the joys of two little ones...... I know I'm gonna miss this once they are older.
