Apparently I’m The Queen of Freak Accidents

I mean, if you’ve been around me long enough, you’ve probably already figured that out.

I told you about how I branded myself with a curling iron in high school.

And how I broke my wrist.

Oh wait, I never actually told you how I broke my wrist…there’s a reason for that. It’s embarrassing.

Short story – my knee popped out of place (it does that sometimes. It hurts. Really bad.)

I fell.

While I was taking my pants off.

Landed on my wrist.

I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I had to tell that story and every time I wished I had a better opening than, “Well, I was taking off my pants...”

(You know like, “One day in kickboxing class” or “Last week while snow skiing.”)

Aaaanyway….

Fast forward to the present day. I set Sophia down on the carpet, turned to walk past her, intending to shut the window, somehow knocked her over with my leg which caused her to fall on my foot and scrape the side of her head on my toenail.

Yeah…you can just go ahead and hold off on that Mom of the Year award I know you were planning on giving to me. I really don’t know if there is anything worse than realizing that you have {even unintentionally} injured your child.

And of course, because it’s in such a visible place, now I get the added embarrassment pleasure of explaining to everyone that I scratched my child’s face with my toe.

Not only am I a klutz, I clearly need to spend more time grooming my feet.

I guess, on the positive side, maybe this could help me make a case for getting a good pedicure??
