Workplace Injury

You know how when it's 7:40 a.m. and you're struggling to get the kids in the van and it's cold and you were supposed to have left the house 10 minutes ago and you're trying to hurry to make it to school by 8 but it's freezing outside and you quickly get your 4 year old buckled into his carseat so you think, finally, you can get in where it's warm and get on the road but not so fast, your 6 year old is wearing a bulky coat and needs help with his seat belt so instead of standing outside the van to buckle him in you climb in and hastily pull the door shut behind you, slamming it right on your hand?

I HATE it when that happens.

Um...I don't have a van so I can't say I understand completely. ;) But, I have had similar experiences with other doors and all I can say is, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!

Maybe you can use this to your advantage - I can't cook because of my hand, I can't clean because of my hand, I can't do laundry because of my hand.
