A face only her kids could love

Sorry, guys, but I couldn't resist responding to the current thread about a face only a mother could love.

I underwent surgery yesterday to remove a spot of skin cancer from my nose. The spot became more of a marble-sized crater by the time all was said and done, so the dermatologist sent me over to the plastic surgeon after he finished removing the carcinoma. When the plastic surgeon finished with me, he bandaged me and sent me on my way.

When Joe saw me walk out of the plastic surgeon's office with my face bandaged, he LAUGHED and LAUGHED.

When we stopped at K-Mart and Joe ran in to pick up gauze, hydrogen peroxide, and Tylenol, everyone who passed by the car STARED and STARED.

When I got home, my kids WAGGED and WAGGED, and PURRED and PURRED.

I love my kids!

Here's what they saw when Mommy got home last night:

And in case you're wondering, I look even worse under the bandages. Think "Bride of Frankenstein" meets "The Mark of Zorro". But don't worry. Aside from the inconvenience of not being allowed to bend over or pick up heavy objects (that'll make cleaning the barn REAL easy!), and being told not to sniffle or blow my nose in spite of the fact that it's all stuffy, I'm just fine.
