Should have gone with Take Out...

I made Jared some homemade Chinese food for his birthday. He wanted sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, lo mein, egg rolls, and wontons. I should have just gone with take out because I could have avoided this....
Yep, that's my arm. I was frying the chicken and the tongs slipped out of my hands and splashed the hot oil up clear up by the crease of my elbow. It only hurt for the first 24 hours, it was fine after that. It was fun hearing people's comments like " I've never noticed your birthmark before" or "What the heck did you do?"

I love doing things for my kids, it is just a casualty of being a mom. It's not my first injury on the job and I'm sure it won't be my last. =)
