You may be thinking... Wow look at those cute shoes, and then you notice the scabby knee that made it's way into this pic! Or maybe you didn't even notice the shoes because you are totally distracted by this gross knee picture. I solemnly swear that I will never post another picture of me with a scabby knee again. But this is worth sharing!
So, I was totally enthralled in my favorite show on Wednesday night. Every time the commercials would come on I would hurriedly start picking up my house. You know the drill: toys, kitchen, clothes, and really anything on the floor. When I say hurriedly, I mean I was jogging around my house putting things away during the commercial breaks. Heaven forbid me miss part of my show. Did I not think about the DVR. Hello... I can rewind.
Well, in all of my picking up I missed my shoes laying pretty much in the middle of the hall. I heard the music to my show start up and I started jogging faster so that I wouldn't miss anything. That's when it happened. I crashed and burned. Yes this 31 one year old fell on her face. I would be lying if I said it didn't hurt. I'm too big to fall like that. Only little children fall like that.
Anyway, Ella was my only witness. Thank goodness! Matt would have never let me hear the end of that one! Ella just gave me this weird look and walked away.
Every time I think about it I laugh. The scab is there to remind me that it really happened. There have been a few people ask me what happened to my knee. I wish I could tell them that I was playing really hard with my kids (you know, being a good mom wrestling and tickling) when I managed to get this crazy rug burn. But... all I can tell them is that I tripped over my shoes trying to get back to the couch to watch my favorite show.
So, don't forget to put your shoes away!
Thank you Hurricane Ike for making my hair look nothing less than fabulous in the above picture.
