Crystal Clear


The other day, the stud hubs came home from work, (normal), walked through the door, (normal), saw me peeking out from the bedroom, (sometimes normal), sitting with one leg stretched towards the light, (occasionally normal), with a pair of tweezers, (maybe normal), and blood all over my foot, (uhhhhh).

A few days earlier I had knocked over my glass of iced tea. Broken glass and sticky sugary liquid all over the wood floor.
I'm 23 years old and I need a plastic sippy cup.

Fast forward to me and my foot, somehow managing to find the last shard of glass that made it's magical pilgrimage to the Land of Right-Before-Our-Bedroom-Door.

I had flashbacks of my Dad helping me pull out things I had stepped on throughout my life: a tack, itchy bark dust, splinters of a broken lightbulb, remnants of what once had been a picture frame...

Now it's Daniel's turn. He has his hands full being married to me.

Nothing better than a man you love, kissing your boo-boos and handing you a Transformers Band-Aid.

    I absolutely need a sippy cup... not coz I drop things.. but I just don't seem able to drink from a glass without somehow dribbling on myself... *how embarassment!* Usually when we are out, I will ask for a straw, to avoid any unsightly spillage!

    Hmmm... why don't they make adult sippy cups?? The closest thing is like a travel cup/mug.. (so not as fun!)

    Hope your foot gets better soon..
    Transformers Band Aids - FTW! (almost worth getting a boo boo for.. hehe..)

    At least your spillage was on wooden floor and not carpet.. sugary liquid on carpet = BADness..

    ughhhh... i literally got queezy reading this post...it's not so much the blood, i just don't handle pain well! *shivers* and the thought of little shards of anything in your foot makes me cringe!

    {...weirdly though, I'd be the first one to grab tweasers and take glass out of my hubby's foot.lol}

    oh man I'd love a good transformers band-aid!

    I remember crying like you would not believe every time someone removed a splinter for me. I may have been what some of us would refer to as "dramatic" ; )

    Lame! I hope you got all of the glass out!

    When I was a kid there was one decent sized earthquake in Oregon. I got out of bed to figure out what had just happened and walked into the kitchen barefoot. My parents had lined the top of all of the cabinets with these cool looking glass bottles and somehow I didn't notice that a bunch had fallen and there was glass all over the floor. Bad morning for me.

    Aww. That is so sweet. You cracked me up with the sippy cup. Back in my "work days" I ruined a keyboard, and the I.T. guys who were so incredibly funny, and kind told me " you really should look into getting a sippy cup".

    Fast forward a few years. New Mac, New Keyboard. Ruined another keyboard. These days hubs has a keyboard cover on so I won't spill anything. :)

    P.S. Transformers? Nice. Here it is Handy Manny (disney cartoon).

    After seeing this post this morning, I went to get Transformers band-aids for The Kid, but they didn't have any! Spiderman it was.

    Maybe you should replace all the glass in your house with plastic. After the glass pizza incident and now this, you're scaring me!

    Oh my gosh! One time I was at my neighbor's house and we were playing on her slip-n-slide and when we were done I wrapped my towel around my legs and tied it at my waist. Then I was walking across their wooden deck but since my towel wrapped all the way down my legs I could pick my feet up so they just scooted along the surface of the deck. (Enter 34 splinters in one foot and 16 in the other). Yep, the rest of the day was spent laying on my parents big bed while my dad dissected my foot! I feel your pain!

    i love this story! not because you hurt your foot (i'm so sorry about THAT part) but the story itself reminds me of what happens in my house! and there really is nothing better than him coming home and fixing what's gone wrong... and transformer band-aids are so frequently used in my house!! =)

    This is uber cute! Love this post...I'm sorry you stepped on glass, I hate when that happens! Love your band-aids--I saw some my little pony baind-aids the other day and I totally wanted them but I thought it may lead to a band-aid collection that I would be soooo embarrased of. Well, maybe not. I use band-aids all the time when shoes rub funny, lol. Hope your footsie is feeling much better!
