As some of you may remember, i got hit by a car while crossing the street
about a month ago. The result was one broken arm, one crushed knee, and one
lost school year (sigh).
Well, my kids really needed their nails cut and i didn't know what i was
going to do about this with just one working arm. But, it had to be done
(little daggers walking over me under the covers at night). So, i figured,
let's give it a shot...
First i grabbed up Molly (my extremely good little angel, anyway) and put
her on my lap. With my one good hand i held her little paws AND cut her
nails, one by one. Wow! No problem!
Next came Leo, my 8 month old little terror. He squirmed at first but i
said, "Leo, the more you squirm, the longer it will take". And, believe it
or not, he calmed right down.
Within about 10 minutes i had....
One good arm, No linatone, and 40 short nails!!!!
Do i have great kids, or what?
