Job hazards

Working on an aircraft carrier, I was very aware of the dangers. Although my job wasn't dangerous in and of itself, just living on the ship can be dangerous if you aren't aware of  your surroundings.  Never would I have thought I needed a sign to remind me of the dangers of motherhood.

This morning, I was nursing Henry.  He was having a difficult time "focusing," so I gave him a break and put him on my shoulder for a burp.  A minute or so later I heard a very large "blast."  So, I gently lifted the top of his diaper back to take a peak... and you guessed it, another blast sounded right at that moment.  Let's just say, he has some power and my face received a bit of the shrapnel.  Lovely.  It could have been MUCH worse, and was really just a little drop or two. I suppose I should print this picture and paste it to the wall in his room to remind me of the hazards of this job!
