Rocky

I recently watched the Rocky movies and was inspired and started taking up boxing lately to release some of my inner stress and got this awesome shiner...

Sorry for the ugly, no makeup, too closeup, messy hair shot. I'm posting this for posterity. I wish I had a cool story how this happened...I was defending my kids and got in a fight with another mom, I jumped in front of a car to save a child, I wrestled a vicious dog to protect my young, or I simply took up boxing. No, none of those.

My eye was a little irritated from cosmetics (apparently I should get more sleep so I don't have to use eye concealer as much.) It is the one eye that I wear a contact in (yeah, I'm weird that way) and some contact solution got on it and it burned like none other. It was a little red and I proceeded to put Neosporin on it to help it. A few days later it starts to swell and burn and itch and is swollen. The doctor said I had an allergic reaction to something. It actually looked a lot worse the day before this shot. It was half swollen shut. Rees looked at me, like what the heck happened to you! I felt fine despite the pain, so I had to proceed with my life of dropping kids off and going to appointments with no makeup and wearing my glasses. I felt so embarrassed because I knew they were thinking that my husband probably beat me.

Some Benadryl, baby shampoo, and hydrocortisone later, it feels much better and is looking better too. Crazy.

OUCH! I would have believed it if you were playing soccer and tried to slide tackle someone again!

You should have gone with one of the stories. We would have never known!
