Today's Words Of Glass

Last week was not a week I care to repeat. And the first half of this week hasn't been so great either. I started last week off like most weeks - with a run.... and then things went downhill.

After pre-school we went to the Sports clinic where I was diagnosed with a Gastrocnemius Fascia Tear ( Couda, Wouda, Shouda Won't Change My Injury ).  I spent the rest of the day trying to figure out how to maneuver with the boot while being outrun by Lil Man.

From my shoulders, to my chest, to my stomach, down my shirts sleeves... boogers. I am but a swipe away from his little nose. I no longer care that I'm covered in snot. For days I've felt like a human rag. I've been puked on, pooped on, sneezed on, snotted and cried on. My nose is pouring also (although I'm reaching for a tissue instead of my shirt sleeve). Hmmm...
