"Sweet" no more! She stinkin' beat me up!

I'm well  aware that  this is  most likely the most *unflattering* picture(s) I  will ever post of myself here. But I think that someday---waaaaaay far down the road---I may think back to this episode and laugh (maybe not :-P) so I wanted to document it on the blog!

You see, last night Brielle beat the sh*t outta me!

Here's what  (I think!) happened. I  was goofing around with Raya  on the couch...we were just talking and being goofy. A couple times  I pretended we were sleeping,  etc. So  in general they were both pretty hyper.

Well when I  was focused on Raya, suddenly out of no where, I get POUNDED in the mouth with a freaking DRUM! Brielle had a toy drum and I think she was just getting hyper and trying to be goofy, but for whatever reason she smacked me with it right on my lip! My lip immediately started swelling and I couldn't tell  if  I bit all  the way through my lip or what (we later decided I had bit the inside of my lip, but the gash on top is  just  where it split open from the sheer force with which she hit me!).

Anyways, I  will  admit I  started crying---it hurt SO BAD! And it royally pissed me off because then the girls started *laughing* at me...they  thought I was still  playing and being goofy! Ugh. Then when they realized I was really hurt  *they* started crying LOL. So I'm trying to give them  suckers to keep them quiet until  Lee gets home from work so that I can ice my lip :-P  It  was just a hot mess!

....and as if that wasn't bad enough, Brielle then starting pointing at my lip saying "ewwww, yucky!"   ....ya think kid?! Thanks  to you I get to now walk around and have everyone stare at me like  I'm either a) a battered woman or b) infected with some horrible disease of the lip ;-)

This morning when I woke up I  found  that things  had gotten even better---because now I have bruising, which adds to the beauty of the whole thing.

And it's all thanks to this little thing!

Oops!

Thankfully it's not quite as painful  today. Although I still  do look  a hot mess, and when  Harper showed  up today she told me I  looked like a dragon--- a DRAGON. That didn't make me self conscious at all  heading to preschool drop off :-P

'Tis the life....is  it Friday yet?!
