My Mommy Dream-Bubble Collapses

Somehow, Someway, I just thought I could make through my kids life without all that "normal" stuff happening to me. Yesterday, I finally burst the bubble. Everyone makes mistakes, and I guess while I feel horrible when it happened, it is exactly that: normal.

I hoped that I could be strong enough, persistant enough, pay enough attention... try hard enough! that these things wouldn't happen to me. But, time and time again, we've had something happen that happens "all the time." Kiera's nursemaids elbow... falling on things... skinning knees... falling off the bed... Kiera eating dish soap...

And now? I shut Melia's hand in the car door. And it was locked.

I didn't even have my lavender with me! I dumped Fennel on it instead because it was the only thing I had! But it still stopped the bruising. Her middle finger is just a little bit red now.

Ugh.
