Grace and the WiserAngel

Since we've already discussed my ballet career (short) and lack of grace in motion, let me fill you in on my morning. Woke up to a nice slick coating of ice on EVERYTHING. Got the girls up and breakfasted, while they were watching P&F, I was out spreading sand and salt so the cute chicks wouldn't slip and bust their cute little tushies.  Got them out to the van safely and into school without incident and decided to treat myself to Subway for breakfast.

Home with a 6-inch flatbread egg white with veggies and a light Lemonade, keys and drink in one hand and sandwich in the other, I set foot on the bottom step and... WHAM! Flat on my back. Not a drop spilled or a sandwich squished; but I'm laying there splayed out with my feet up on the 1st and 2nd steps (don't remember that) and freezing rain coating me. Contemplated just laying there until the cold took me, but I'm no quitter.

Rolled onto my hands and knees and crawled, breakfast still grasped in my hands, up the steps and into the house. I've got a hot pack on my neck and shoulder and a cold pack on the tushy. I'll post pics of the bruises as they develop. Fucking Texas Spring weather.

    Glad you're Ok! Spring here needs to shit or get off the pot - though at least we didn't get the ice you guys got.

    Thanks Paladin, the only serious damage is to my ego. In my younger days, I would have jumped up and done the Mary Lou Retton "Ta-da" ending.

    Butt of course! Fortunately, it's a working neighborhood and I'm the only stay-at-home mommy. But I'm sure if anybody at .gov was satellite spying, they got a good giggle.

    We can look the other way for double fudge bacon brownies. Lots of them. Run outside and pull your shirt up so we can photograph the bruises.

    Sorry DHSDude, my bacon brownies and boobs are for Patriots only. You know, bucking up the troops and all. Y'all will have to settle for Mooch's Easter egg boobies or Napolitano's Iron Eggs.

    The coldest place I ever lived was north Texas. I learned to hate freezing rain. Glad your ok. If I was a little closer, I would offer to kiss it and make it better.

    Glad you're okay and breakfast made it inside unscathed. I hope the rest of the day is uneventful. Reminds me of when my mom was doing a horseback trip with my dad and her horse took off on her. When my dad finally caught up to her, she was fit to be tied because dad was laughing so hard. She'd held onto her Pepsi the whole time!!

    Thanks CM. I feel for your mom, but I know the importance of saving the caffeine at all costs.

    You be careful out there. We lost the sushi lady at the local grocery to a fall a couple of years ago. Working around her pool, fell, hit her head and drowned.

    And LOL at DHS dood.

    "Santa had just did as you did, and was laying there in pain. When the Christmas angle came around the corner and said 'Santa, where should I put the Christmas Tree?'"

    And that Children, is how the Christmas Angle got to be on the top of the Christmas Tree.

Play nice. None of you are too old for a spanking.
