Ms Elizabeth's Journal, 19 December 2012

I am officially covered in bruises. Maybe this is why I can't stay out of the break room today. My body is so freaking sore right now that I don't even want to think about doing barn chores tonight.

First on Tuesday my cow got jealous. I was walking down to get the grain cart when hubby yelled at me so I leaned over the hitching post and he gave me a kiss. I was right next to my cow. She head butted my thigh which had a steel pipe on the other side so there was no give. I have a bowling ball sized bruise on my thigh from that.

Last night it was just little man and I home. He is getting three teeth and is the crankiest I've ever seen him. I can't put the man down! I was grabbing something from 8 yr olds room and both of us went flying. Luckily I caught myself with my elbow and my knee so he was cradled for the most part. This is where I miss my cushy bits. Cushy bits don't bruise and swell like non-cushy bits. So.. my elbow and my knee on the same side as the bruised thigh are now swollen and purple.

I should really stop eating because there is no way I'm doing a ton of squats and lifting but I just can't stop! Someone quick come and duct tape my mouth shut.
