Brittany's Curse

I haven't had the best of luck lately and am wondering when my curse is going to stop and I will have good luck. Just when things couldn't get worst they do. This time it happened in my own house. I got up Saturday night to feed Mayley. After she was put back to sleep, I went into the bathroom to get a drink and when I was walking out I step right on a scorpian. It stung me pretty good right on the arch of my foot. I yelled for Wes and he came right away and we found the scorpian. He killed it and flushed it down the toilet. He then got some tylenol for me and tape some ice around my foot. I do not know how I was able to go back to sleep. I think I was just exhausted. When I woke up, my foot was throbbing. I tried to get on it and walk and it just shot pain up my leg. I didn't go to church that day. The numbness didn't go away until Monday about noon. I am just really worried about Mayley crawling and getting stung or one of my other kids. Knowing my luck the scorpian will crawl out of the toilet when I am sitting there and I will get stung on my back side.

That's awful. Hopefully your luck changes this weekend. We're expecting you at the family reunion :)

Awww Britany, I'm sorry you haven't had very much fun lately. Maybe it was a blessing that the scorpion stung you and you killed it instead of one your kids.

I guess that locking yourself in the house to avoid "the curse" would be a bad thing at this point. I think that your only other option would be to come and visit us! ;)

Hmmm...I am laughing, but it's NOT funny! You poor girl! I would be worried about my kids too! That would scare me to death! On second thought...the whole scorpion-in-the-toilet thing is up there too! Feel better! ...Summer

Oh my gosh, Brittany...I am SO sorry. I did kind of laugh though...oops. When we lived in Thatcher we had a lot of scorpions in our house too. Night lights are a great resource...
The kids had so much fun together last weekend. Hope to see you again soon.
