Crash and Burn!

Oops! Notice the bump and scrapes on my forehead.... lovely!

After it was all said and done, I found this too funny not to share! Leave it to me to be a clutz!

I was at a friends house yesterday running around in the backyard w/ kids and dogs... And I was running fast! The dang hose got in my way and tripped me. I FLEW about 5 feet and landed hard... of course not into a bed of pillows, but a huge pile of pointy rocks! It completely knocked the wind out of me and took a while for me to get up and breathe. My head smacked the rocks and actually bounced back up. It even chipped the lense of my glasses which of course I had declined the extended warranty for replacement because I "never" do anything to them! I got a nice welt and scratches on my head, scrapes on both my arms, about 12 small gashes in one knee, a welt and huge bruise on the other hip, a whole bunch of scrapes/bruises on my stomach, and a deep gouge in my hand where I tried to catch myself.

My friend said her kids fall all the time and never get that banged up! I guess the saying is true... The bigger they are, the harder they fall!!!!!

This morning when I woke up I felt like I had been hit by a train. I have been so sore today and feel like I got a little bit of whiplash. But I guess it could have been worse. If my head had hit 2 inches further, I would have split it open on the brick. That's the last thing I need is a head full of stitches! How embarrasing. Even though I was mad about my glasses, I realized that they probably saved my eyes. If there weren't 6 small chips in the lense, I'm sure the rock would have poked my eye. The glasses can be replaced!

Kurt told me next time I go out to play I need to wear a helmet! :)
