Mommy's Shiner

Yesterday was my 1/2 day, so I picked Caleb up from daycare where he was just getting up from his nap. I was closely interrogated by his classmates. "Where is Caleb going?, He is over there! Caleb's mom's here. Can I go?" I didn't want to upset them so I didn't mention we were going to the park. Caleb was very excited once I told him our plan. I brought along his baseball bat as well. Unfortunately I'm not the best pitcher, so he resorted to golf again. At least he was a good swing. We had a good time hanging out together the rest of the afternoon. Just before Greg got home, sat down on the floor while Caleb was watching cartoons. I guess Caleb decided to jump into my arms as we sometimes do over and over when I am prepared. I wasn't prepared this time, so by the time I realized his intention, I had a very hard chin in the eye. I don't think I moved from the floor for a full minute, it was sooooo painful. Poor Caleb ran away thinking he was in trouble. When I was finally able to check if he was hurt, he ran back to me saying " it an accident mommy". I reassured him I knew it was, and though he pointed to his chin as the area of pain, he seemed unharmed. Unfortunately I already had a knot forming under my eye, and by today it was nice and purple. It continued to get worse as the day progressed, and I had to explain over and over why I had a black eye to all my patients and coworkers. I warned Greg he may have some explaining to do. He just thought the whole thing was funny.
