Bruised Ribs and Bruised Ego

Morning sounds filled the house as I began to wake. A little boys voice giggles and shouts “Get Daddy!” The stillness of the bed is disturbed as a little person climbs his way onto the bed. “I am going to Get Daddy!” I play along with the 3yo routine saying “Don’t Get Daddy” he giggles and instead of the normal cover and pillow pullback the bed became still once again. The stillness is broken by the impact of two knees into my ribs shooting pain through my body. “Ugh!” My breath leaves me for a minute as I lurch up to avoid another attack. At this point I am doubled over in pain and 3yo backs off and realizes Daddy is hurt… My ribs are really tender and if I move just right the are rather bothersome. No major bruising or pain, but a little discomfort from the trauma of a 3yo’s knee drop.

Today was 7yo’s turn to play at his friends so after dropping him off 3yo and I made our way to Costco and Trader Joe’s for some much needed resupplying. I came in at budget and now have some valuable stores restocked for the next month or so.

The 5

  1. 3yo Pro Wrestler – The Phantom 3yo master of destruction put the Smack Down on dad today. It will take me days to recover from the furious onslaught of this mighty warrior
  2. -2 is Cold – Today as I woke (in pain) the temperature was a balmy -2!!!
  3. Wii Bowling – I have finally gotten the hang of the bowling and am champion. I have a 265 as my high score which is basically 2 pins from a perfect game… Darn SPLIT!!!
  4. New Look – I am working hard on a new look and layout for the blog. A new Year some New Looks…
  5. 52 Degrees – The projected temperature difference between today and Sunday… I see some colds coming on…

Daily Observation: Getting my butt kicked by a 3yo is no fun…
