Flower Friday - the day the music died

Today was a disaster. While I was (quickly) trying to get a couple pictures of the newest seedling to come up....
This happened.....
I knocked the other planting box off of the table. Now, I usually prevent this by pushing the table against the wall and window so I can't push it off while I move it around to take pictures....but nooooo, the one time I forget. Not to mention Eddie is sick, so while I'm trying to clean up the mess and save my littlest babies, he is screaming in his high chair. He's all "WOMAN! What are you doing? Stop playing in the dirt and pay attention to meeeeeeeeeeeeee *cough cough* Hellooooooooooo - mooooooooooooooommmmmmmm what are you doing?" and you want to know what is going through my head? "grumble, grumble (expletive) (expletive), grumble, grumble - stupid me (expletive)". Cute, right? Now, do you notice how the dirt is right by that heat vent? Well, guess what happens next....the heat turns on. FOR REAL. Dirt is flying everywhere. But by God, I was saving my little seedlings. So I picked each one out of the dirt pile and did my best at replanting them in the pots. Not an easy task, especially when you have a baby screaming at you. How did it turn out...well, um...not so good. They look a little rough.
Poor little guys. The worst part? I thought the fallen box was doing the best out of the two. That's what I get for picking favorites. Basically, I have no idea what to do now. I suppose just some good old fashioned TLC and positive vibes....I gave them some water, blew some kisses and wished them strength.....keep your hopes up!
