Third Eye Blind

Chris is the music guru in our family, so couldn't tell ya what that group sings; however, thought appropriate title for this post that I'm so bravely dedicating to fellow zit-pickers everywhere...beware! This is the frightening scene that greeted me in the mirror this am:
You see I had a horn growing on my forehead last weekend & I couldn't leave it alone, so spent some time getting acquainted with it. Of course, it wasn't ready to be picked but I was ready to go for it & must've been disappointed by blood vs good stuff comin' outta it. So I let it go for another day or so & pursued it further. Used some cover-up & went about my business...Even bonded with 2 friends yesterday-never mind the erupting volcano that was spreading across my forehead?! In fact, I have since learned that it's a very sensitive (read: infection-prone) spot based on being predominantly bone then skin on your head...pretty sure I've lost some serious brain cells?! Now I can practically see behind me with this gaping hole. I've tried to hide out in my house today besides a bit of grocery shopping & of course, i ran into a good friend @ the store. I guess some neighbors saw me from afar too. Ironic that now I'm posting for the world to see:) In meantime, family's reactions have been interesting...Cole didn't even notice or pretended not to @ least this am when he crawled into bed with me-I started laughing that he would think I looked normal?! Dane said I needed a bandaid & figured no one would see me this way:Luke kept wanting to touch my forehead & staring @ me in his sweet baby way...
Chris said he couldn't even look @ me?! He said I would prob need something more serious than his fix-all Neosporin:) He joked that it had its own pulse, solar system & climate then wondered if our 4th child would come outta there, so I named it Reese as it might be the only one I ever have?!
I once bought the boys a book called Parker Picks re: noses, only then he switches to scabs...gotta say it's not so funny anymore when it's happened to me although i've had to keep it light & laugh about it or else i'd for sure cry & it's my own fault!! They say hindsight is 20/20 or in my case, 20/20/20-ugh!! Needless to say, won't be enhancing any blemishes anytime soon:( For all of you who have "told me so" in the past, you can bet I learned my lesson! Although my eyes are still a bit puffy, possibly also attributed to my night-owl ways, thank goodness my overall face condition is improving rapidly so I can focus on other Things...
