Bad Mommy moment

Last night I decided to actually do some cleaning while I was waiting for Eric to come home from the temple. I was clearing my nightstand and Miriam was playing behind me on the bed and was very squirmy. I went to run into the next room to throw away some stuff thinking just a second. I stopped just before leaving the room because she was standing up. Several times I told her to sit down she was scaring mommy. Whether she sat or fell down on my pillows it propelled her sideways off the bed knocking her head on my nightstand cutting the bridge of her nose and bump/bruise under her left eye. I grabbed a Kleenex to staunch blood and took her on a walk around the block. She was mostly clam by the time we got back and her nose never bled that much. She was ready to eat and then was fine for the rest of the night. Thank goodness it wasn't worse!

We've got lots of cuts and bruises over here too. Don't think of it as a bad mommy moment, think of it as a cheap lesson for both of you!
