ouch!

have you ever hurt yourself before? i'm sure that you have if you're able to read this! i was cutting up carrots this morning and i cut off the tip of my thumb. note: it is on my non-dominant hand. even so- i am realizing how much i use that thumb on my left hand. i keep bumping it on simple things and it HURTS a LOT. i'm trying to be super gentle, but to no avail. i put a shower cap on my left hand for my shower today so i wouldn't have to waste a band-aid (i put it on right before my shower) and it worked really well. then i had to bathe baby #2 and i did it w/o getting my thumb wet. it was a dire need for #2 to be cleaned up. the kid is almost 5 weeks old (tomorrow) and i've only given it one real bath prior to today. that is disgusting in my germ-a-phoebe mind. that was a side-note. anyway- i was noticing how everything i do is more clumsy, with more things dropping to the floor. has this ever happened to you?
below is a *hot* photo of me with my band-aid (mr. incredible- water resistant band-aid that the hubby bought for kid #1, and specifically told me that i am not to use them. my excuse- we don't have any other water resistant band-aids!).
