While Todd was running errands with Elisabeth, I decided to start dinner while Isabella watched a movie upstairs. First mistake. As I was leaving here, I noticed she was tripping into the bathroom to floss her teeth. No big deal, right?? Second mistake. I went to the kitchen and got sidetracked cleaning out a cupboard. Third mistake. I reached for the DAMN Pampered Chef Mandolin (potato slicer) because it wasn't where it was supposed to be. Fourth mistake. SLLLLLLIIIIICCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEE. My ring finger on my right hand went directly onto the blade and started bleeding everywhere. The pain was horrible. I wrapped it up and sit down on the couch so that I could get control and down comes Isabella. I thought she had just moussed her hair a bit. Fifth mistake. It's like she had taken a razor and just slapped it all over her head. Maybe it was the lose of blood or the shock of it all but it took me a minute to realize she had CUT huge chunks out. "Look Mommy!!! I made my hair smaller!! NO more ponies!!! NO more bows!!!! YEAH!!! Do you like it??" and then that quickly turned into a panicked, "I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to!!!!" The sink...the hair in the sink!!! Beautiful shiny black hair ALL OVER THE SINK:( Ugh.
12 hours later: My finger is fine...it is all bandaged up, still hurts, and I had to get a tetnus shot (which Isabella cried through because she didn't want me to get hurt). Isabella got her hair fixed/cut off. If the bangs weren't so jagged, it might be stylish. Luckily, her face can carry it off:)
i just saw your FB post and couldn't get here fast enough to see what she did. OMG! I can't imagine. I think that the slice out of my finger *may* have lessened the level of freaking out about her hair. I don't know. ;)
