One thing I never expected before I had Sam was that it was going to be physically painful on an ongoing basis. Childbirth and the aftermath? I expected pain but now Sam is always running into me or pulling my hair or jumping on my knees or bonking his head into me. That last one is why I had a minor black eye yesterday. I wondered why it continued to hurt so much after he pounded his head into my face but since I don't spend any significant time staring into the mirror, I didn't notice the bruise until I was getting ready for bed last night. A lovely purple bruise, luckily already fading to red this morning.
To continue with my pain theme, yesterday I slipped on some ice at my in-laws and, as Sam says, "fell down go boom." I was holding Sam at the time and luckily, he wasn't hurt but I really hurt my knee and had that reaction that's a combination of trying not to swear in front of my kid and mother-in-law while feeling as though I was going to throw up. I'm ok and today it just hurts when I walk or go up and down stairs....and when Sam crashes his little body smack dab into it which of course he does very regularly. See? Kids inflict physical pain. I hate to admit it but those sloppy kisses he gives my knee after inflicting the pain do very little to alieve said pain. Don't tell him that though, he still believes in the healing power of kisses.

How can we not have a photo of you with a black eye? If you gave Sam a black eye, we'd get to see it.
Sorry about your fall - I know your knee hurt even before that. Put your feet up and pry the remote outta Ben's hands!
