Careful While You Cook......

Well it seems to be a right of passage in the Ladd family. And I think I can officially call myself a Ladd now. You're probably wondering what I'm referring to.... well kids be careful when cutting with knives.....Eric/Drew you're next.

YES, I cut myself while making lunch for Eric and I. I was cutting red potatoes and then it happened I sliced my finger, perpendicular to my fingernail. Kinda in a weird place I know. Well it was bleeding pretty good and seemed to be fairly deep. So I call Eric to find out how far away he is from getting home......(side note) Eric was gone for the weekend, having a boys weekend in Manhattan celebrating Fake Patty's Day (no I didn't mention this earlier because I don't like to promote the back that I'll be home alone for the weekend :-)

Well he was about 20 minutes from getting home so I put some pressure on it and decided to finish up lunch. (I know...I know I'm a very dedicated wife right!)

Here's the damage....if you think my ring has a little extra sparkle you're right. I got it cleaned on Friday since on Thursday I got some formula on it while doing a set-up at a patient's house. (The picture really doesn't do it justice...It's hard to capture it with my camera)

Now you may ask..."a family tradition??" Well, yes considering both Brian and Jillian have been to urgent care this year for stitches after having a cutting accident in the kitchen.

Christy even gave me a red kitchen towel this Christmas for this very occasion; however, in the heat of the moment I forgot and used one of my other kitchen towels.....we will see if we can get the blood out.

Well I am hoping to avoid urgent care today but we will keep our eye on it and don't worry we will keep you updated on the situation as it unfolds. In the meantime...please I beg of you... be careful when using knives in the kitchen. It can be DANGEROUS!
