I am an impatient mom sometimes (a lot). Monday, we had just gotten home from Lake Powell and we were all dirty and stinky. It was about 8:30 p.m. and the kids needed to get cleaned up and in bed fast. So I made all 3 of them get into the shower at the same time. Well, you know what happens when 3 kids take a shower... about an inch of water on the floor. I told them about 50 times to GET OUT of the shower, and of course they didn't until I screamed bloody murder. I decided to just leave the shower running so I could get in while Jed got the kids in there PJs. I went into the bathroom and noticed all of the water on the floor so I told Teylor she better get in there and clean it up. By then the kids were scared enough of me that they did what I said and Teylor came in and started drying the floor. I then thought I'd better hurry and get in the shower before all of the hot water was gone, so I hurried and tried to step around Teylor who was bent over drying the floor, when my foot slipped while I was half in half out of the tub and I went down hard. I think my hands tried to stop the fall, but it was so wet that instead my face slammed into the edge of the tub to stop me. I thought I had knocked out my teeth and broken my nose because it hurt like the dickens. I let out the most hilarious scream (in between Kermit the frog and Pee wee) and Jed came running in seeing me all bloody sitting in the tub. It was terrible! Turns out I split my lip, knocked my front tooth loose and bruised the heck out of my nose, mouth and forehead. I look freaky. My lip is huge! It's interesting that out of all the people I've seen, they all give me funny looks but no one asks what happened. I wonder what they are thinking... fight? collagen gone bad? I don't know. Good times.

Ah, c'mon, you have to post a picture!
Ouch.
Is your tooth okay?
That is awful! I am totally impatient too. Today we were at Gardner Village and Luke was crying and I was trying to get him out of the sling and I asked Mia to hold my purse, but she wasn't listening and I yelled at her to listen and come get my purse! She said, MOM, I'm looking at a butterfly!
Should be cute, but I was so bugged - I just yelled more and louder - all the old ladies looking on were shaking their heads in shame.
HEY Jaime Jolie,
I saw you yesterday when I picked up my kids from piano lessons. I didn’t know that you wanted to be asked what happened. I hope the look of horror on my face didn’t make you feel bad. I thought that after your last post, you know the one about you secretly dancing in the basement. I thought that maybe you were listening to your tunes on your 80s record player, you got a little carried away with the “Lord of the Dance” and you kicked yourself in the face. I just wanted to pick up my kids and get the crap out of there. geez
Next time please ware your tee shirt with the “PLEASE ASK ME WHY MY FACE LOOKS LIKE THIS” on it.
That is terrible. I hope you heal quickly and that your tooth will be OK. I remember screaming bloody murder at my little kids for making a big water mess. It happens when you're too tired to cope. Seems like the punishment was a bit too severe though.
How is your face today? Looking better I hope. You really should've posted a pic!
aaaha mike. So sensitive.
That is horrible, Jaime! That must have been so painful! oooohhhh I hate thinking about it. I'm so glad you didn't break your nose or something even worse. Paul was cringing when I told him.
Jeni - I will never be as cute as Van with a bloodied lip. NO pictures allowed. I actually look better today, but my teeth still hurt.
Mike - I wish I was cool enough to be bustin a move in my basement, but for sure my kicks aren't high enough to touch my face. I'm working on it though. Next time just say "What the hell happened to your face!" haha. A lady at the gym did ask and I told her the saga and then she said, "Oh, I can see you have black eyes too." Uh, no. Those are just my bags. Great.
Jaime - How terrible. Hope you're starting to feel better. I AM glad to hear that I'm not the only mom that loses my patience ... daily ... okay, okay - hourly (at least). Sheesh - thank heavens for the good times and cuteness.
Love, Michelle
P.S. - Sorry about the "black eyes" - I've definitely got those ... permanantly.
Sorry Jamie,
I seriously didn’t notice anything wrong.
