I am Super Mother...

Yes, we had pancakes for breakfast again. Yes, it was because we didn't have enough milk for cereals. No that's not why I am Super Mother.

On an entirely unrelated note, did you know that it is a dumb idea to try to put the stick attachment onto your hand blender whilst it is plugged in and switched on? You never know just when you may accidentally brush against the on button on the blender... Of course, no one would be stupid enough to do this with their finger in the way of the blades...

On the plus side, I still have feeling in the finger tip and the bleeding stopped quite quickly after the seri strips and a lie down on the sofa with my feet up and my hand in the air and, despite everything going grey and me going all cold and clammy I didn't actually pass out.

Oh, and the reason I am Super Mother is that once I'd patched up my severed slightly damaged finger I went on to make pancakes anyway (there was no blood or finger in the mix so why waste it?)

Then we went to church. Not a normal happening in the Dragon Household i must confess but it was Palm Sunday and SmallDragon#2 had never made it to Cub church parade in over a year of being a member so we thought we would make the effort and offer thanks to the god of severed fingers. As an added bonus, he got to carry the cub flag in (and it was bigger than he is!)

SmallDragon#1 was on rugby tour. Apparently the haul for the weekend was one bowling ball, a stick-your-head-in-the-hole photo board and a "wet floor" sign. And that was just from one of the accompanying fathers. There really is no hope.
