In my defense...Alex and I have different sleep schedules. I go to bed hours before he does. He nearly always wakes me up on his way to bed. Last night was no exception. I heard the usual banging as he fumbled and stumbled his way to bed. But he didn't make it. To make a long story short...he fell and gashed his head open. My response? I said all of the following: "be quiet"..."don't drip blood on the carpet"..."don't get blood on my camera"...."yep, I think you need stitches." Then I got back in bed and turned out the light. As he was leaving for the emergency room I faintly offered to wake up Elly and give him a ride.
He had a concussion. And the gash in his head needed six stitches. Even though this was his 5th trip to the emergency room in the five years we've been married, I feel like a huge jerk. Worst wife of the year, for sure.
Alex managed to post a couple bloody pictures on his blog before heading to the hospital. My sleep-induced apathy forever documented.

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing out loud at this very moment! Just looked at Alex's blog. Poor guy... those exersaucers are known to be vicious! As for you... yeah, I have to agree... that was pretty bad. Definitely not your finest wifely moment, but hey, what are you gonna do? He's fine. Don't beat yourself up... you might need to go to the ER and I'm not sure Alex would be willing to drive you after this.
For the record...the one time Alex had to take me to the emergency room, he hit me in the head with a ball as I was walking to the car.
When did Alex hit you in the head? -Lauren
Sorry Christy i had to delete my first comment I was talking on the phone and typing so I didn't realize i made a horrible spelling error which is so like me. Anyway i was trying to say "Poor Guy sucks to be attacked by baby toys"
Saucers are fierce. Be careful it may come after you next.
shameful subversive Bouncy Ball propaganda. yes, a tiny, SOFT bouncy ball...roughly the size of a racketball. i was trying to lighten the situation by GENTLY tossing it over your head as you walked away. I have poor depth perception and misjudged the bounce...so yes, it ever so slightly went "tippy tap" on the top of your head. i would like to defend myself further, but the pain from this huge gash on my forehead is making it quite difficult to concentrate.
First & foremost...Alex, I'm glad you're okay. Since I know that you're okay, I hope you won't mind that I find this to be a little humerous. Driving yourself to the ER because your wife was in a sleeping stupor is pretty funny. I needed a good pick-me-up!
Christy, no worries. Alex's head is pretty hard...he'll be okay. Love you!
