Today I had both little Chus at home with me and as usual, we spent most of our day running errands. After getting gas and buying our neighborhood pool pass, we stopped at JoAnn Fabric to buy material for Amanda's Pocahontas oral report. I had prepared for this journey by packing my purse full of snacks. Unfortunately, they had scarfed them down by the time we got to the cutting counter. With no more food to stuff in her mouth, Lex began to scream "out! OUT!" meaning she wanted out of the shopping cart. Thinking we were almost done, I let Alexa out. This was to be my downfall.
Two minutes later, she had tripped and fallen and hit her face against the corner of a metal shelf. The good news, she just barely missed her eye. The bad news, it was a bad cut, oozing blood and I wasn't sure if she would need stitches. So what is a good mom to do? Taking Kleenex from my purse, I staunch the flow of blood, while paying for my fabric and then head out to the parking lot to further assess the situation. Luckily, it didn't need stitches...but here is Lex after her losing battle with the shelf:
