finger "trap"

had a rough night last night again. ashley has been driving me crazy at night. she'll wake up to eat, eat, and then fall asleep. when i put her back in bed, she wakes up screaming. and nothing i do helps or makes it better.
she did it again last night. so, instead of throwing her across the bedroom, i punched my chair (i keep a chair in my bedroom specifically for nursing). i would have been fine if i hadn't hit the wood at the end of the arm. my finger nailed the wood.
i was fine until i got up and had to bathe the kids this morning. then it started to ache. i tried an experiment that my sister-in-law told me about. you put ice on something you think might be broken. if it IS broken, it will cause pain that will send you through the roof! if there's no intense pain, you are fine. i thought i was going to die when i put the ice on!

as i have no insurance, and there's nothing they could do for it anyway, we took popsicle sticks and tape, and wrapped my finger up. now that my finger has turned almost black from the bruise, i'm glad the tape is covering it.
i managed to slide my ctr ring off that finger when i was in the shower this morning. that was a feat!

pictures

the other day at school, they did the special pictures. the ones that have the cool backgrounds instead of the flat color. at the same time, they also did class pictures.

of course, when the kids brought home the pictures for us to see and purchase, they both insisted that we HAD to buy them. oh, and we had to buy the class pictures as well. we told them that we were unable to purchase them cause we didn't have the money right now.

taylor wanted his class picture so badly that he took his own money and bought it himself.
shaun feels terrible!
