My husband is a sweet, calm, careful human being. He very rarely makes mistakes, very rarely makes an accidental mess . . . pretty much the opposite of ME.
Last night, however, we had ourselves an accident ala Matt.
The blinds in our dining room were misbehaving. One side went down just fine, but the other just stayed up. It was totally stuck. So we were both checking it out, trying hard to figure out what the crap was wrong and praying we didn't have to go find new blinds for our money pit house that we're putting on the market soon anyway.
Nothing was happening . . . we were frustrated and figuring we needed to buy new blinds. I told Matt we should just give up, the stupid blinds were stupid broken. Stupid. Yeah.
Then . . . it happened. Matt tried to fix the blinds one more time. And down they crashed hitting not one, but BOTH of us. I got hit in the head, Matt got hit in the mouth.
I was in that . . . shocked, surprised and scared mode . . . and I just sort of started to cry.
Matt was bleeding in two places . . . on the outside of his mouth AND on the inside.
It was traumatizing for a few minutes, then it was just funny. Today it's just funnier, although Matt may still not think so!
There is also a silver lining on our cloud because, while the blinds were on the ground, we were able to see into the guts of the stupid things and fix them! NOw we just have to NOT TOUCH THEM EVER AGAIN.
**Random sidenote that has NOTHING to do with this post. HOW IN THE CRAP IS SANJAYA NOT IN THE BOTTOM THREE OF AMERICAN IDOL? This is just makin' me angry. Stupid.
Ta-Daa! Sticky!

Oh, goodness. Matt the Spartan. Hmmmm. I hope your head feels better. And thank goodness that Matt has finally had a rare glimpse into your daily life!
Poor little Murphy family! I hope you all mend fast. No more Mattastrophes! As for American Idol? Seriously. What the Hell. I almost want to stop watching the whole show all together if that kid is still on there. Well...I'll quit watching after Bon Jovi is the guest, lets not get stupid.
Ok, I love your stories. I am sitting here at work, lots of people coming and going and me, laughing out loud looking like a weirdo.
OH and about Sanjaya. They joke about him here too with his little poney-hawk and calling me Sangria. Anyhoo I completely forgot it was on TV and got caught up watching Dancing with the Stars. Don't laugh, ballroom is fun!
