Last night we head out to the K for what is to be a great night of baseball. After all the clouds only look like it could spark a massive thunderstorm or tornado (we were in a tornado watch) at any moment. It was Retro Night, Buck Night and Greinke was pitching so we knew there would be tons of people but it should be a great time. The storm never amounted to anything but a cooling breeze which helped cut the humidity. The $1 hot dogs were not as bad as they can be, Addi did eat 2. We were having a great time and Zack was not pitching a no hitter but he was racking up a fair number or strikes.
Then it happened, a foul ball was headed directly to Lucas. I mean it had an infrared sensor directly to his glove. He was reaching as high as he could. Addi was standing in front of me so I leaned my body over her, because having a small child hit with a fast moving ball is nothing I care to live through. I feel this amazing rush of people laying on top of me. What, what is going on. Jeremy leans over to get the ball for Lucas but no luck it is touched by too many finger tips and flips rolls and jumps far away. I thought the excitement was over and lean up just in time to get an amazing elbow to the nose. It was the biggest elbow I had ever seen and it was there to take me out. I hear some deep voice say, oh sorry as it leaves the side of my face.
I immediately cover up my nose because I can feel the blood flowing onto my hand. I know I have to get out of my seat but the stars circling my head are keeping me from jumping up. How sad that the first thing I thought was this is going to suck, my allergies are far from under control and every time I blow my nose for the next 2 weeks I am going to get a bloody nose. I make my way to my feet ask Jeremy to keep an eye on the kids.
As I am running up the stairs a guy on the aisle stops me to ask if it is broken. Broken?!? What I have not even thought about that. Thanks, guy.
It takes about 15 min to get the bleeding to stop. I opted to take a seat in the bathroom as I looked like I had some strange medical condition with all the stairs I was getting leaned over the sink. I finally leave the bathroom to find Jeremy and the kids right outside, they all looked so worried. We decided to take the kids to the Lil' K for some playing time. Since I looked like girl Rudolph, I led the way.
The thing I still don't get is the fact the row behind us was made up of 60 years old and we had a kid and the folks next to us had a kid. Good thing they are not our kids grandparents. They would take all their fun toys at Christmas and keep them for themselves.
I am glad that it was not one of the kids and I guess Lucas totally forgot the ball was coming at him to have so we did not have to deal with that disappointment and at least my nose is not any redder this morning than usual!

Oh my gosh! That is so scary!!!! I'm glad you're ok and it's not broken but still a bloody nose is no fun especially with lots of people watching you. Geez, he could have bought you a beer or something. What a jerk.
