WHAT A DAY!

LOL So much for a relaxing birthday....and so much for a relaxing Sunday. Man talk about a day!

It all started out innocently...had church services this morning...then I went to lunch with my dad (a birthday tradition). I came home, watched a little of the NCAA basketball tournament and then went to play football.

We were about an hour into football when it happened...the previous possesion I had scored on a 75 yard play. Then we went on defense (I think...I truly do not remember lol)All I remember is the ball being thrown in my general direction...then a huge crash...then I woke up with 3 or 4 guys standing over me and I was in a pool of my own blood. I (apparently) colided going full speed with another guy. His head, elbow...something...caught me square in the face.

So now I have a split lip and am trying my best to keep gauze and ointment on it to prevent the pain from getting worse. It actually didn't hurt a lot at first. I was able to clean myself up with a water hose and drive myself home. It was after an hour or so that the pain set in.

It's a pretty nasty cut. My sister (a nurse) looked at it. She didn't think it needed stitches...and anyway...your mouth is about the worst place to get stitches anyway. My nephew and niece are getting a kick out of my having a big gauze pad over my mouth LOL

The day did end on a good note though :-) Sarah (my 4 year old niece) called to wish me a happy birthday. That was great. I love hearing her voice everytime she calls me. THats MY girl :-)

Anyway, I hope that you all had a great day. Less than 2 weeks til I invade New York!
