the worst mother ever

last night after work i went to michael’s to pick up some crafty supplies for the centerpiece for my sister’s shower on the 19th. i’m turning the tool turn about from pampered chef into a “wedding cake”. it’s not edible, just pretty. anyway, i was a good mom to nelson and went home 1st to let him out, then ran to michaels. i got back and put the kitties in the office and let nelson have free run of the house. we’re trying to get them all used to each other, it’s just a looong process. so we were hanging out on the couch and he finally settled down into a half sleepy mode so i thought- what a good time to clip his nails. i clip nimbus’ nails all the time so how hard could a dog’s be right? the first few were fine, then he jerked his little hand and the clipper came down wrong and it cut into the quick! blood was flying everywhere because he was shaking his paw. it was all over my face and shirt and the couch (thank the lord for slipcovers) and then he’s running around on our cream berber carpet(!!) and all through the kitchen and down the hall. it looked like a massacre scene. he yelped when it happened but quickly forgave me. now if i can only forgive myself. i feel sooo bad. i called my mom and almost cried when i told her then i had to clean it all up. i called jon (who was working til midnight again. i hate his job) he says “let’s just leave that to the professionals.” thanks for your support. and sweet nelson just wants to hang out with his butcher of a mother. =(
