Life's New Lesson

Every so often life seems to hand me a lesson.  I should have learned this one awhile ago.  And maybe I did , but needed a refresher.  I don't like my reaction to things that occur.  And I know I need to step back and be patient.  And yet sometimes I don't succeed.  So tonight after Dave yelled at Audrie for talking and waking Connor up I hurried up to get her to bed so she would be out of his way.  Somehow I managed to catch her giraffe and almost rip my toenail off.  Ouch.  Ouch.  Ouch.  Lovely amounts of blood.  Definitely a wake up call that I need to slow down.  Audrie of course was greatly sympathetic.  Hurt Nana.  Green band aid Nana.  Audrie just discovered the joys of band aids and has already used up all the green and the purple ones.  :P  Guess it did slow me down.  And I think I will be slowed down for a couple of days.
