It’s been a week since I took a tumble down the metal staircase of death.
I can’t feel a four inch patch of flesh on my shin, and it stings whenever I step down too hard. the moosh has the uncanny ability to land any and all sharp or hard body parts she owns on my left leg, for this I am grateful, it’s making me tough. GRRR. And it’s teaching me all sorts of creative covers for swear words.
How I didn’t break something is truly a miracle. I attribute it to the fact I had just gone to the Temple and was divinely protected. Because honestly?
I should be waaay more busted up than this.

Yikes, those bruises are crazy…. the kind I envision a person only getting on a football field. Apparently gravity is a tough contender. I’m sorry!
Hey, at least you saved the camera!

What is it with kids that they are somehow drawn to our injuries? It’s so funny that you say you’re finding clever ways to cover your swears. ha!
“Holy fish paste! That hurt like hee haw heck!”
That one’s been uttered from my mouth after one brusing incident or another.
LOVE your adorable new header!!
Yay for the thaw!

Just how positive are you that you didn’t break anything? A week later? You shouldn’t be that jacked up.

Did you show that to anyone besides us? Really you need to see a professional for this, a week is a long time to look like that. Of course Mossh probably kissed it to make it better, but just in case………

Sorry for the pun.

Yeeowch!
I *still* have a dent in my left shin from a meeting with a bench in high school.
As for swear words, at our house we’ve been saying “What the French, Toast!?” a lot lately…

Ok my stomach rolled & my leg cringed looking at those. I’m a wuss, I would so totally have been crying for pain pills & ice packs!!
2 questions though:
Under the church page there are guidelines for attendance & it says that clothes are not available to be rented… um – are they available at most LDS churches? Is this a normal thing?
Is your family LDS also?
(Oops – that was three – sorry)

ooo. ooo.ooo.I wanna answer the church question!
Bellamomma-The thing you read was about renting Temple clothing. When we go to the Temple we change into white clothing. You can either bring your own or rent them there. Some of the new Temples however, are what we call mini Temples and they don’t have room for the cleaning of clothes so they don’t offer rental of (Temple) clothing.

My sincerest apologies for the pain would be sent your way except the other night I sat on my foot and when I got up to walk away I stood on the TOP of my foot instead of the bottom and , I think, gracefully flew across my slate kitchen floor and landed like the morning dew! Ok not really but I’d like to think so. I felt my eyes cross and my head spin and the sensation that ran through my body made my unique reaction of hysterical laughing set in!!! All by myself. I was laying there and seriously thought of you! I totally had a moosh moment. I feel your pain sister! I hope you return to your full capacity lickity split!
