Accident waiting for a place to happen
Well, I did it again. I ran over my OWN toe with my rolling desk chair. I think my toenail is going to fall off. At least I didn’t swear in front of the kids … just managed a muffled, “mmmmmaaaagggghhh!”
Yep, that’s right. Not only did I run over my toe with my own chair, it’s not the first time I’ve done it. Don’t ask me how, I don’t know.
I think the main reason that I have problems like this is that a lot of times when I’m doing something physically, I am not paying attention to what I’m currently doing, I’m already looking at what I’m doing next. Someone once told me that it’s a sign of ADD … don’t know if that’s true or not.
I guess I need to slow down and focus.
Ow.
I knew when I input this category, it would be used sooner than later. I am one of the all-time-greats of klutzery. When I was growing up, my mother always told me I was an accident looking for a place to happen. I haven’t changed much since then, and now my husband is the one teasing me about my clumsiness.
So, I was in the grocery store night before last and I was carrying a hand basket. It contained a 12-pack of diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke (go get one, they’re good) and a box of dish detergent. So, the basket was pretty heavy, and I kept switching it from hand to hand.
Somehow, when I tried to pass the basket from one hand to the other, I slipped. I guess my right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing. Anyway, the heavy basket fell on my flip-flop-shodden foot with a thud. I resisted the urge to scream, paid for my groceries and limped out.
Another day in the life.
