black and blue Christmas

I'd planned to post about Mr. Elvis Pigsley here, and the fun Rebecca and I had decorating him for a school contest we had two weeks ago.

 
But now I've got other things on my mind, like my poor baby who was hit with a chunk of concrete right above the eye after school got out.  I'll spare you the details and the photo of her looking like Frankenstein, but the good news is she didn't need stitches, and she's so unbelievably good about taking medicine (she's on antibiotics).  She's a real trooper, but clearly, I need some serious lessons in forgiveness because I can't get over my anger at the two boys who hurt my Jessie.

We have a dance recital on Saturday, which is going to be professionally videotaped.  I think we're going to need a lot of eye shadow.

Oh, poor baby. I'm glad she's not badly hurt but nonethless it sounds like she and you need lots of hugs right now.

My taller one was whacked hard with a branch by another child a few weeks back. I found that one very hard to forgive too, and she wasn't really hurt, just frightened - so don't feel too bad.

I'm glad she's okay. I can totally understand it being hard to forgive someone who hurts your child!

Elvis Pigsley is awfully cute!

It's for reasons like the injustice to your daughter that I was in favor of single-sex education for our daughter. We just couldn't swing it, since it would have required sending her out of state. Now that she's a teenager, it doesn't sound so bad!

Hang in there Mom!

Awww, poor girl. Boys!! They are sometimes incredibly rotten. I'd have a really hard time getting over that anger too! Hope she feels okays and dances up a storm!!

I realize this was a few weeks ago, but I hope your little one is recovered. There's no good way around bullying - it's just bad. I would feel absolutely the same way.
