OW!

I must miss my acting days because I just did something stupid straight out of the movies! I was pulling on a shirt, talking on the phone and quickly heading to the back door to tell my kids to come back inside when I didn't notice the stupid McDonald's toy sitting maliciously on the stairs. Curse those Happy Meals!! I stepped on the penguin full on which caused me to do the not so nifty stunt of falling down the stairs, swearing into the phone and landing in much pain!! Wah! Bottom of my foot bruised, knee all scraped up, arm scraped, calf and shin - a mess of purple, screaming pain and other foot bruised! Honestly!! The other day I fell off a little people chair when I was trying to install a basketball hoop and covered my rather large thigh with a humongous bruise! Not long before that I tripped on my brother's step and banged up my other knee and elbow with road rash. Seriously - I'm a glutton for pain lately. The upside of today...my cute sons came running to me when I was writhing in pain and crying my little eyes out today, not sure if I could get up. Ammon hugged me, Yousef ran and got me a bandaid and a toy to play with. Then Ammon went and got his power tools so he could fix me and Yousef laid down on the floor next to me and said, "Let's just lay here for a bit." He got really quiet and said, "I feel sad for you Mom." It's important to be loved and pampered when you get hurt! I love my boys!!
