Stoli A.K.A Cujo

Last Wednesday was a non-stop day at work, then when I got home from work I was unlocking the front door when I saw some glass. The first thing I thought was that someone tried to break in our house, so I inspected the front door then I saw that the window next to our front door that looks into our stairwell was broken, and I immediately knew who the perpertrator was...Stoli!

This is the third time Stoli has inpersonated Cujo-- do you remember the 80's horror movie about the rabid dog? Well, apparently Stoli did his impersonation for our mailman and busted through the window. I could tell the mailman just dropped the mail and ran because the mailbox door was left open. I felt so bad for our mailman. When I walked inside I spotted some blood on the floor, so I immediately called him. Stoli came and he had this huge gash on his nose. He was bleeding quite a bit, so I put pressure on it, but he was making it difficult for me to hold pressure by not sitting still. At the same time Eli is running all over the house and pointing to the blood on the floor, "Mommy, what's that? What's that? What happened to Stoli?" I just told him not to touch the red stuff. Then Keenan started crying because he was hungry and I could not do anything. I called Aaron and was pretty much like "Get your a$$ home RIGHT NOW!". My stress level had peaked!

Aaron got home and he dealt with the dog and I dealt with the boys. Stoli's bleeding did subside. I finally got the boys fed, bathed, and to bed a little before 9pm and then I was able to eat dinner. Aaron commented on how before we had kids we used to be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but we have not been able to see a light quite yet. After I snarfed down my dinner I still had to do laundry because Eli had had a few accidents at school. What a week, and it was only hump day!

Oh man. That sounds like a rough day. I guess the good news is that no, no one broke into your house. Maybe your mailman deserves some cookies or somethin. I'm sure you guys are doing great w/ the boys - it's just hard when you have to sacrifice yourself. Get a date night in when you can!
