Wow! What a weekend it was! I am currently home from work today tending to a fat lip...more on that story later in this post.
On Saturday my daughter (who is 6 years old) had a playdate with 2 of her friends at an indoor playground. While we were there, the younger brother of one of her friends had a seizure on the playground! This was a first for him and his mother so there was huge panic. 911 was called and firemen rushed him to the hospital. This was definitely one of the scariest moments in my life thus far. I ended up taking this child's older sister (the friend of my daughter) home with us so her parents could go to the hospital with brother. Hours later we discovered it was a febrile seizure. These can happen with young children when they begin to develop a fever from a viral infection.
Then last night I was at my husband's softball game. He plays weekly with teachers from a nearby school district and my daughter and I usually come and watch. I had a few kids with me and we were playing catch behind the backstop near the bleachers and a fowl ball flew up over the backstop and while I quickly moved kids out of the way I ended up being popped in the mouth with the ball! I felt so stupid.
Luckily my teeth are still my mouth, but I have a really nasty bruise around my mouth and a huge fat lip.
So....I got a substitute teacher for my 1st graders today and I am taking the day off to sit on the couch and rest. My class has a field trip to the zoo tomorrow so fasting may or may not happen tomorrow. We will see....and I will not make a big deal out of it if I don't. I am going to continue living my life. If I am successful fasting one day....great. If not...I am not going to give myself a hard time or whine about it.
No drama here!

WOW so sorry about the fat lip, that had to hurt. Hope the little boy is doing okay.
I totally agree-if you beat yourself up over not doing something (OMAD or fasting) it really doesn't pay off. Negative self talk is the worst talk ever. If you don't do it tomorrow, it won't be the end of the world. I feel like for me OMAD has been a breeze and even if I screw up for some reason it isn't as big of a deal as it was when I counted every calorie consumed, maybe just a different way of thinking.
Feel better!

So sorry about the ball incident! That is awful! Luckily, you were able to save the little ones. I agree with Donna -- if it happens, it happens. If not, you can always get back to it when you're ready.1

Get better! That had to hurt a bit. Lucky it wasn't a lot worse!1

Thanks! I am almost better. Just a slight bruise under my lip and on the inside. The swelling has gone way down.0

Update...
Fasting did not happen last week. More like a 7 day binge morning, noon and night.
There is going to be a statewide teacher strike in Arizona beginning this Thursday for the first time in history, and as a teacher who does not want to strike, I find it very stressful as I am in the minority. We are a very red Republican state and unions simply do not exist. While I would appreciate a raise as well as more funding for students, I know that striking puts stress on the parents and kids as they scramble for childcare, not to mention the students who rely on free breakfast and lunch from school. It's messy and it makes me sad.
I also battled a mouth injury this week that began as a fat lip and then turned into very painful canker sores at the sight of the injury. One would think that would stop me from eating....but no, I ate lots and lots of junk food. Moving on.
We will see what happens this week with the teacher strike.

@ArizonaToast I wish you well.1

Our teachers in Oklahoma just got done striking. Thank goodness as my kids minds were turning to mush, because they automatically tune mommy out when it comes to teaching them a damn thing. Good luck with the strike.0

@ArizonaToast good luck with the strike and your eating plan for the week. Just move on, it happens to all of us!

Well....the teacher strike in Arizona is underway. It is actually being called a "walk-out" because it is illegal for public employees to strike. I have just been staying home with my child who cannot go to school...
I also managed to fast for 16 hours two days in a row, which brought me down about 2 1/2 pounds. Yay!0 -
Nice 2.5-lb drop!!!0
