Murphy's Law for Moms states that anything that can go wrong that would prevent you from capturing the perfectness that is your little angels, will go wrong. Sometimes its a random mud puddle that they "just couldn't go around" on the way into the photo studio. Sometimes its the hot dog that "just exploded" all over their brothers clean white shirt. And sometimes its a carpet that was just begging to be laid upon despite the fact that the Mom was so busy organizing everything to get the pictures done, that she didn't have time to vacuum up all the fur, fuzz and crumbs that are now stuck in their hair. But more often than not, when Murphy's Law for Mom kicks in, it usually means that someone is going to get hurt. And not in a discrete, hide it under the clothes way. It more than likely will be a BIG HUGE totally obvious wound of some kind that is IMPOSSIBLE to hide from the glaring eye of a camera lens.
That is what happened to us yesterday. Almost at the exact time that I was booking the appointment for 10:30 am next Saturday, (and wondering how the heck I was going to drag a teenager out of bed before noon, much less have him cheerful and presentable), my precious, perfect baby boy N was falling and hitting his eye off the playground equipment at his school. Of course, as is the norm for school injuries, there was no first aid performed, and when I went to pick him up, he had an eye that was so swollen closed that he said he was having trouble seeing.
And so now we wait, and hope and pray. Wait for the swelling to go down. Hope that when it finally does he is not left with bruising that will make him look like hes wearing purple eye shadow. And pray that none of the other kids get hit by Mr Murphy. Don't get me wrong, I know that its coming; but maybe, just maybe, this time, it wont happen until AFTER the pictures are taken.....wish us luck!
