kseenaa | Family filled with bad luck? - Movie!

So... the 23e of January I broke my leg... A week later, my mom fell over and scratched up her whole face. Going on a check up, she found out that her bad knee? Had a crack in the kneecap. Fuck. No cast needed, but she needs a protective knee pad thingy to make sure her kneecap stays put. And guess what? The week after that my brother... got ran over by a cow (well, a heifer) and twisted his knee... so one of those knee pad thingies for him to, but he only had to use it for about a week or so.

WTH? o.O

And that's not all!

Mom came over last weekend to hang out and help us out a bit. As long as she's taking it easy and moving around slow, her knee is fine, so that's good. Anyway. Guess what happened then? She dropped her phone in the toilette! X-D No joke! We didn't find it there until about an hour after she'd noticed it was gone. And that's just because I needed to use the bathroom.

Geezes. Enough is enough universe! Give us a break!

At this point all there is is to laugh about it all, to be honest.

I watched an amazing movie the other day. Desert Flower. I pretty much broke down. It's about the life of Waris Dirie and her life from being a little girl in the Somali dessert to a model and to a spokeswoman against female genital mutilation. To say I broke down during that movie, despite the fun parts, would be an understatement. It was done to her when she was 3 years old.... Just 3. About the age as Alexandra....

To say Alexandra got plenty cuddles that night would be an understatement.

Watch it. I think it's an important movie. I've put a hold on the book at the closest library (where I'm supposed to be working if it hadn't been for my broken leg...). It's next to Alexandras daycare, so I'm sure

peting73 will pick it up for me.

spicehobbit, my best friend, came by said hi and helped me clean a bit as well not to long ago. She dropped off the book Temeraire av Naomi Novik. In english. ;-) So there's that. And I'm reading the book Toddler Taming as well. Because, damn. I have a toddler now. o.O At least Alexandra is a moderately calm toddler. :-)

Now I'm going to hobble with my walking support (looking like this) to go eat and watch some Supernatural and read a bit. Working on a link/pimp post as well. Gonna be a lot of 50 Shades of ~~Grey~~Fail in that. ;-)

Laters!

Holy smokes, what a string of bad luck for everyone! I hope things are done being so crappy and start looking up for you all!

I can't watch anything involving children anymore. I used to be able to watch anything, but after having V - it's so hard. I've turned off movies due to violence against children. (Especially documentaries)

The whole terrible twos thing for toddlers didn't really happen with V, but treacherous threes? Whole different story! LOl. V is such a good kid though, I really have no complaints.

I just hope the rest of the year will be a good one. I think we've had enough of the bad luck now. ;-)

I know, I mean... I knew the story basiclly about Waris female genital circumsticion, but to actually watch it played out on screen? That was tough as hell. I went online in the evening and donated to Waris charity which helps women that have had it done and helps spread awareness to make sure to help stop it being done to kids. A worthy cause I think.

Alexandra is pretty good to, I have to say. There's tantrums, of course. But they're few and far between thank heavens. I am keeping my fingers crossed it won't get to much worse, to be honest. :-) At least know I can have sort of a conversation with her. She gets to watch Disney and play around with the TV on, she's good. :-D
