Ouch!

I hate it when I do things like this. Stupid, pointless things. If you can believe it - I broke my toe. I'm still mad about it (and it still hurts!).
On Sunday morning, I was walking in the hall behind Gavin and I accidentally jammed my pinkie toe into his heel. It hurt horribly when I did it, but I figured I would get over it quickly. By the time we went to church, I couldn't put on my shoe, I was limping and trying to keep my eyes from watering. I had to do Sharing Time barefooted. By afternoon, my toe was swollen and literally purple and black. The picture doesn't do it justice because of the flash. It was quite disturbing to see my toe look like that. I kept it elevated most of the evening.
Luckily, I have great friends who have given me some great advice: just wrap it and keep off of it. My friend, Winnie, gave me some Chinese medicinal alcohol which she made herself. I'm to rub it on my bruised toe twice a day and then tape it. It stinks (literally and figuratively), but I'm hoping for some quick healing. When I taped my toe tonight, Kate had to have hers taped too. She is so adorable!

Ouch! It's the perfect word! But, I would have to say that "adorable" is even more perfect! What an "adorable" little girl. Feel better! Try to stay off your toe. (And don't walk too close to Gavin any more!)

I love that Kate wraps her toe too. I hate when I do stupid things like that too. Like for instance when I burned my arm on the iron a couple of weeks ago. I still have the scar, I hate how stupid things happen.

OUCH! NO fun. It didn't help, I'm sure, that Enoch stepped on it durring sharing time. :/
I hope it is feeling better.

I hope that alcohol is helping.
