Ever.
I had bunco at my house last night. The plan was for Colin to come get the kids between 3:30 and 4 and go...well I don't know where but I really didn't care as long as they weren't here (I have my priorities straight). At 3:30 I get a phone call from Colin.
He's on his way to the ER.
Of course.
We should really have an ER discretionary fund built into our budget.
Let me just say straight out that my husband is quite the handy man. I really am very lucky. He had been building some stuff for the baseball team. Long story short, he fought the table saw and the table saw won. It always does.
Thank heavens for in laws who came to get my kids, because heaven knows I wasn't going to play bunco with them around. The kids, not my in laws.
He still has a finger. Barely. It's his middle one so he hopefully with a little rehab he'll be back to flippin the bird in no time.
But I'm not going to lie, internet. It's going to be ugly. I was asking Colin today how ugly. He told me I was awfully concerned about the appearance of his finger and wondered if he should start looking for a new wife. I told him, we'd see what his finger looked like first.
You can follow this link to check out pictures of his fingers. http://gallery.me.com/colinw7#100163&view=grid&bgcolor=black&sel=4
Ok, Colin added the last part with the link without my knowledge. If you like gory movies, then by all means look at the pictures. But if you like happy things with flowers and butterflies or if you ever want to eat again, do not follow the link.

oh my gosh my worse nightmare is getting a finger cut off with a saw. I bet that FRICKEN hurt!!! ouchie mama! So who won bunco?
If ever there was a reason to get a new man, it would be the appearance of a perfect hand. I'd watch carefully...your fufutre depends on it.
J/K...hope he gets better!
Whoa, that is so scary! Glad to here he's okay. =)
Can you get a handicap sticker for your car now?
Ok, you should have a warning with pictures like that. I almost puked all over my desk! I'd start the divorce proceedings now! :) kidding!
Oh my, Emily! You guys do have a rather adventurous life. Poor Colin! I'm glad he did not hurt himself worse. Not to sound insensitive, but it's great that you still got to play bunco. I'm always really sad when I have to miss bunco night.
OK--I had to look. Colin, you get a little sympathy from me since I can't stand anything to happen to anyone's hand (the piano player in me. But just so you know...I've seen much worse. Just ask ATB 2003about his adventure with Barking Donkey's boys and the bunk beds.
Okay, I just followed the link. Not a good idea. And I thought that Viv and Kendall getting their pacifiers mixed up was gross!
Colin, that's freakin sweet! Chicks dig scars!
Colin - you have ALL my sympathy! I'm not siding with E on this one. My dad almost cut off his finger with the table saw when I was growing up. He put the tip in a bottle, hung it over the saw with a sign "THINK SAFETY!" which we had to see everytime we went out to the car passing through the garage. But it definitely made an impression on me - and his finger grew back oddly enough! (the fact that it grew back - and grew oddly...)
All I can say is if I had a major accident and my spouse didn't cancel Bunco to be with me at the ER, no matter how stupid what I might have done was, well...
That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it. Sorry Em!
Cheri I cooked and cleaned ALL DAY. Someone was going to enjoy it!
Plus, he didn't ASK me to cancel...if he had, maybe I would have.
Okay, I came down hard on you. Sorry!
I have seen worse, but that was pretty impressive photography. I heard he went back the next day and kept working...he ain't skeared. Colin, I've gotta give you props for this one.
