Oops!

I really shouldn't be laughing about this still, but it's funny to me.
The other day I as vacuuming the living room. Now Jovin runs out of the room with his hands over his ears when I bring the vacuum out. He's never liked it. Mayer is okay with it he thinks it kind of neat. Pierce really doesn't know what to think right now. I'm just glad he doesn't cry like Jovin did at that age.

Well Pierce was in the exersaucer and Jovin was in his room sitting on his bed with his hands over his ears waiting for it to all be over. Well I THOUGHT Mayer was in the kitchen playing with toys. So I'm vacuuming the rug and I bring my hand back and SMACK! I hit Mayer in the head with the handle on the vacuum. I didn't know he was behind me. I hit him hard too. You know you throw your weight around to push and pull the vacuum. I knocked him flat on his butt and he just looked at me all wide eyed and didn't know what to do. So I turned off the vacuum and picked him up. He hadn't started to cry yet cause I was laughing my head off. Now Cor says I always laugh when someone gets hurt. I don't believe it, but the main reason I was laughing so hard about this was that in my head I kept saying, "I hit my kid with a vacuum! I bet no one has ever done that. What kind of mother am I?" After I laughed for a while Mayer did too until the pain sunk in then the laughing turned to crying. So if Mayer grows up and has memory problems or walks funny we'll know that it was the combination of me and the vacuum cleaner when he was 1 1/2 years old. :)
