Have A Nice Trip...........

I bet you're all excited and happy for me...........she's going somewhere fab for Christmas right?  Hawaii or Spain.......or the Galapogos............

Nope.  Saturday morning after groggily climbing out of bed, scooping up the little dog I headed for the stairs and took one step.  One step, then landed rather harshly on the landing........almost like gliding down the full six steps, except I left behind skin and some pride.  Yeah I fell down the stairs!  Graceful no doubt and amusing, however no one saw it except it the two pooches and trust me after three Greenies each, they ain't tellin'!

I'm too old for this crap. I could have broken a hip!  But honestly I checked the nails first, as I grabbed carpet and bars mid flight......didn't break a one neither - real or fake!  I recommend the new Shellac polish!  Survives even the toughest spills.......

Most damaged was the left elbow.  It lost some skin and has a nasty bruise.  My back was torqued too, cause I knew if I landed on the little dog, I'd kill her.  So yeah I pretty much saved her life (well let's not mention that I pretty much put her in the position of needed saving at the same time). 

On Monday night, I was out Christmas shopping at Shopko, cause that's hows I roll............and hubby was home with the boy and the dogs. Apparently the big dog had worked up a mighty thirst lying in his kennel all day cause hubby walked crossed the kitchen floor, performed a banana peel split and landed flat on his back...............because of drippings from the water dish....... and because I had mopped the kitchen floor on Saturday (I know right? after my back was severely injured from my tumble, but the boy had had an accident.....and I haven't mopped in 3 years....in a long time.....so it could have used some sprucing up) so there was no grit and crumbs for traction! Poor guy, he could see his reflection while he writhed on the floor........

Hubby is fine too, more bruised ego than anything.  Seriously though.........it's like Clown School around here..........bring on the big, floppy shoes and squirting flowers. The shoes outta be a big help on the stairs............ and I all I want for Christmas is a Medic Life Alert bracelet or the fashionable pendant....either or......

This is hilarious! Reminiscent of the "I've fallen and I can't get up" commercials?!!!
