Parent's Night with a Difference
Random Dandelion Head Picture
Well Laura, Karen and Emma are all off out to the pictures tonight to go and see the new Twilight Movie. I kind of wish I was going with them but it's nice to see them all go out and having fun together.
My poor Karen has been struggling with a headache all week so I'm hoping she is ok in the cinema!
Well, wait till I tell you what happened to me last night. My face is going red just thinking about it!!! Ah the anticipation, I bet you can't wait to find out what it was now ha ha.
It was Emma's parents night at school last night and
Danny wouldn't be home in time from work to go to it so it was just me and Emma. We drove to the school in plenty of time and were wandering around the side of the school where it was extremely dark. There are a couple of steps there and of course I didn't see them - remember it was extremely dark. Well I tripped on the first step and tried to save myself and then I tripped on the 2nd step and went flying through the air. You know that sinking feeling you get when you know you are going down in a big way and why is it when you do it goes in slow motion?
Anyway I put my hands out to save myself so they hit the ground first, then my knees, my shoulder and then my cheek. It was raining and miserable and I also managed to wash my face in a puddle. I lay on the ground for a minute trying to work out what exactly had just happened. Emma turned around on hearing the thudding noise to see me lying prostrate on the ground. She started saying "mum get up" - she was worried somebody might see me!!
Let me just assure you I was FINE, just had sore knees and hands - and was really wet. Once Emma found out I was ok she was doubled up laughing - all night!!!
Well, I laughed a bit as well, it must have looked awfy funny.
I had to sit through 3 teachers meetings and try and pretend everything was ok all the while thinking 'I wish I could check my knee is ok'. Anyway I survived it all and when I got home I discovered I'd skint my knee and had a nice big bruise on each of my palms. My cheek is fine though so that is something.
It is a long time since I had a good fall and hopefully that will be my last. I don't wish to do it again any time soon.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!

glad to hear you are o.k., it sounds like it could have gone either way!!
Oh my gosh I know how that feels to fall.
Usually you wanna get up quick so no one sees ya.
I know you must be feeling it by day 3?
Sore and beat up.
I have seen people fall and it breaks my heart.
If I were there I would of saved you.
Are you going to blog your injury photos?

I am so glad you are okay!
PS I like the image - very pretty!
I hope you don't get sorer as time goes on!
I was in Lorelei's room changing her diaper, Roger and her daddy had come in there behind me, and so had their pitbull...well, he came laid down right outside her door and I did not notice him.
I got Lorelei changed and was heading back to the living room, and did not see Ottie...I tripped over him...
I did not want to drop Lorelei, but did not want to squash her either....so I just held on to her till I was like a few inches from the floor....I caught my upper body weight till I didn't fall on her...she did not cry...
But oh, my poor knee...I got like a rug burn and it was raw for days...that has been over a year ago and I still have a big red spot on my knee!
Rest up. ...Marsha
Oh, my God!!!
Lucky you that not so serious damage. It might have been worse, isn't it!
Well, I feel scary when I have to go downstairs to use bathroom during the night. Sometimes really drowsy.
I hope you're perfectly OK in a couple of days. No laughing matter for yourself, I think haha.
Have a wonderful weekend, my dear friend, xoxo Orchid*
Gorgeous dandelion head!
