I really did it this time....

I think I broke my toe, the pinky one. I'm blogging at 1 am because my toe is being iced at the moment and Tim is too busy sleeping to offer any sympathy. After nursing a sprained pinky toe for the past couple of weeks, I incurred a couple of setbacks. Well, tonight I really think I have broken it....like 99% sure. It's about the size of my big toe right now and my whole foot is throbbing. First, I did my usual check-in on the kids before going to bed. I stubbed my toe on Noah's play tool bench the first time, hobbling back to my bedroom before crying my head off. As soon as I get settled in, I hear Noah crying. After a short while, it doesn't stop so I went in to check on him. The tool bench is in the same place and I literally run into it the exact same way the first time....except ten times harder. I couldn't hold it in....I screamed, included a couple of expletives, and let out a big cry. Tim had to come in and console Noah because I was too busy dying in pain.

This is not how I envisioned the start of my summer vacation.....

You don't need your big toe for balance anyway, I say if it is causing you this many problems get rid of it...wait were you looking for sympathy? Be sure to keep the tool bench right where it is, seems like it is working out pretty well...Oh and I really hope it isn't broken, I hate stepping on toys, stubbing my toes it really kills! I rather slam my hand in a car door...but that is just me.

CP, you have my sympathy - I do this on a regular basis trying to cut corners around my bed. Fortunately for me, there is no one to disturb when I scream out my obsenities...

How is the toe CP?

Ouch. Boy you are almost as clutzy as I am. I'm sorry to hear about your toe. I probably would have kicked it with my other foot just because I was ticked off. Then I would need two bags of ice. Screaming at the top of your lungs is okay in this instance.
