Helmet Head

I had to slap something else up here. I felt guilty leaving that up. I feel much, much better after a little Yoga and some running around like a chicken with my head cut off days, which explains unfortunately, why I have not had time to respond to all your thoughtful and support-providing comments. I will. It's a holiday tomorrow.

I have to say honestly that there are days when I am amazed that I am let out of the house without a helmet. To protect me. Or you, depending on how you view it. Walking out of the house yesterday to retrieve dh from work, I skipped down the stairs composing a blog entry - some piece of shit about random acts of kindness that I won't make you suffer through here. Today. As I exited the building, I noticed that my pants were undone. I panicked, wondering if I had shown off my frillies to not 1, not 2 but 6 grades of students yesterday. Surely, some unassuming child would have yelled, "Hey! XYZ" or something to that extent. Right? RIGHT? Wouldn't they? Because I was so fixated on my pants, I forgot there was a curb separating me from the stairs (even though I walk over them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.) and tripped. A big trip. Not one of the speed bump in the carpet trips, not for me. More like a pratfall. I couldn't have faked it more convincingly. Great. As I was steadying myself, I stood up and walked smack into the branches of a tree (which I also duck under EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.) and straight into a spider web. MARVELOUS, ain't it? I swiped at my hair, determined not to be late picking dh up. He's wasted many minutes standing out there, wondering if I'll ever show up. Nevermind how many pieces it is in. As I approached the car, I placed my hand in my pocket and grasped my keys getting ready to unlock the door and slide into relative anonymous safety. I stared at the keys for a full 20 seconds before I realized they were house/classroom keys and not CAR keys. FAN FUCKING TASTIC. I knew I was already late. What I did not know, but quickly realized as I turned to make the whole treacherous trip again and in reverse was that our first floor neighbor was sitting on his balcony, laughing his ass off at me.

You would think that would've been a Monday, hunh?

OMG...
Well, at least it proved to be quite an amusing blog post. ;o) I've had days like that myself. I do hope the rest of the week has a better turnout for you than today.

Sounds like a day in my life. I did that outside of Taco bell a fee days ago. My heel got caught on the edge of the curb and I fell like a sack of potatoes! EVERYONE was staring at me!! Atleast your audience was only your neighbor ;)

Hope you aren't too sore, I was for a few days LOL

That's like every day of my life. I am the biggest klutz ever, always bumping into ANYTHING that might be in my path. I have so many bruises I sometimes look like I've been battered and abused. But no, it's just me and my lack of spatial awareness.

Might as well add me to the list of people laughing their ass off. DH's life must be far more interesting with you in it.

Now I don't care who you are, that right there's funny! I sprayed water when I read the helmet line!

Hi There again. Sorry about the "backside" slip, lol. Go for it and use it. I think it would be awesome. You know..."Ass" and "Backside", rofl. I'll check back for the change. Have a good night. :-)
