Another Laugh On Me

I forgot to mention that we were minutes from heading out to the High School orientation when The Boy poops his pants.....I know...it's always about the boy pooping his pants.....David looks at me and being the good wifey poo I am, I say "Fine....I'll change him". So once I am done I realize that the diaper genie needs dumping. So I quick whip out a garbage bag from under Daniel's changing table and a load that puppy up with a boat load of nasty diapers. I grab The Boy, grab the bag in the other hand and head down the stairs. As I lift my leg up to step over the gate, I hear it.....followed by a cool breeze on my left thigh and buttocks.....YEP....ripped my FAVORITE flare jeans from the The Gap........NICE!!!!! So much for "stretch" denim. Humph!!! All I can do is laugh after the week I have had! ;)

Now...on Friday morning, I head out to mail out my SP gift. I get to the post.....fix up my box, make sure everything is all in it, put my card in, seal the box.....and by golly...where the dilly did I put her address??? Now mind you, I know it by heart at this point, but I was unsure of the zip code. I'm sure that since it is not in my pocket or purse, that I must have left it in the Mama Machine. So I leave the box in the Post Office....hoping that someone doesn't freak out and think it is a bomb and go and search my vehicle. NOPE....not there. As I am walking back in, deep in thought, I somehow managed to step off the sidewalk which in turn made me come crashing down to the ground. I can only imagine how UGLY it looked....arms flying up, the expression on my face, purse flying....... Oh yeah....I fell right on my knee's....HARD.....purse and contents are EVERYWHERE.....left foot is killing me....and I am thinking.....IF . I. JUST . RIPPED . ANOTHER . PAIR . JEANS . I . AM . GOING . TO . KILL .MYSELF!!! I pull myself together....amazed that I didn't have a naughty word/words escape my mouth for the little old man to hear that asked me if I was ok....."Are you ok Ma'am"...when did 40 become "Ma'am"???? I whisper "I'll be fine" like Kevin, on Home Alone...I frantically reach back to pull my shirt and jacket down (I'm still on the ground at this point) because otherwise I'm sure the guy could see right down the back of my pants.... which the thought just HORRIFIED me....... I head back into the post office only to feel the blood running down my leg.....top of left foot is throbbing.....pay to ship...get the heck out of dodge.....look at my knee inside the Mama Machine....... to see about 3 rows of skin pushed back....LOVELY.....that should make for a nice crispy scab...especially after my next tanning visit. ~sigh~ I'm NOT laughing anymore!!! Drink's are now 24/7! Call me.... ;)

Polar Bear said...

You have certainly had a rough week! I hope you can get some much needed rest this weekend!

You're a much stronger person than I - I would have crawled in a whole and hid by now!!!

Enjoy the weekend!

~Amy~ said...

OH Steffie...what a week is right! Get to Maui ASAP so nothing more happens to you! ;) Happy Saturday friend!

Kristy said...

You crack me up!!! Haven't we all had days like that when you look around to see if anyone saw you!!! lolol Hey at least we have our sense of humors right!!!??? Go have yourself a really big margarita and have a good time with it , you deserve it!!!

Gail said...

Oh man, what a week you have had.
Don't ya just hate it when your favorite jeans are ripped, yuck.
As for the falling, a naughty word or words would have definitely flown out of my mouth.
Hang in there girl, Maui will be here soon! ;)

Marla said...

OMG, you poor thing!! I hope your time in Hawaii makes up for all that has happened. You deserve a nice relaxing vacation! And LOTS of drinks!!

Hope the rest of the weekend is uneventful. ;)

mommy24treasures said...

oh no!!!!

I am so sorry. I know how awful it is to rip your fav jeans.

hope to day is a good one.
You sound like me on errands too, on the whole organiztion thing. I am terrible about writing down stuff on a piece of paper and then have to look EVERYWHERE for it. And every time I tell myself I will be more organized. Ha.

Denise C said...

OH sweetie! Bless your heart! Hope your knee is ok! and your foot too!
Gosh....I am sure Maui is looking mighty fine right about now!
Hugs to you sweet friend!

Olivia said...

oh my goodness girl! What a week! We've been crazy here to, my little Evie has her first stomach virus..no fun! Hang in there and just try and have a realaxing weekend!

Nikki said...

Well, at least all those mishaps make for good blogging! You are keeping all of us entertained...it's OK if we have a good laugh at your expense, right?

Love you, honey...and you are ALMOST out REALLY out of dodge...look at Maui!!!!!

Love you!! (and I hope your boo-boo is all better)

Kim said...

oh my word woman! Are you OK? REALLY??? That sounds like you took quite a spill...you know at your age you can't be too careful (I'm soooo kidding) ...about the age part anyway. I hope you are ok. Vitamin E for the cuts (after they've healed) keeps the scars away but scars can be sexy too...

You know those pants that you ripped...? They'd make a nice pair of Daisy Dukes. Just give em another rip on the other side and VOILA! Your summer outfit is ready for the lake ;)

Middle-Aged Moi said...

Um....maybe you should just crawl into bed for a little while......hope next week is better!

kerri said...

3 time is the charm, I think that's the end of your mishaps, ouch.
This is making for interesting blogging, LOL.
I told you we are kindered spirits, love ya, Ma'am, LOL.

C's Mom said...

Oops! You DO need a break :0)

Nancy said...

My, Oh, My!!!!
I was enjoying the Mama juice last night. Margaritaville to be exact.
You can add my favorite pair of PJ bottoms to your list of things that ripped out this week.

Jewels of My Heart said...

Big Hug..... it's got to get better.

Ashley said...

Oh my! That was funny (not for you, I'm sure ... but the way you write about it was funny!) Come on Maui!!! :)

Gwen Oatsvall said...

ok, sounds like you needs some R&R in Tenn ... we can shop for a new pair of flare jeans when you come ...

day by day said...

Oh, no! You must be REALLY looking forward to Maui now.

And I hear you about the Ma'am! : )

Have a good week-end!!

You really do need a drink! I'll send the margaritas over.

Young Creations said...

OH my gosh. I can't believe you tore your jeans and fell in the same week. You need calgon and a stiff drink.

Take a look at my blog and you will hear about someone else who had a tough week.
Here's to a good next week.

Relax, it is over and behind you(no pun inteded) enjoy the thought that soon you will be relaxing and in another world. Sending happy thoughts your way.

jennifer said...

You have had quite a week! I am laughing out loud, at your expense, I'm afraid. I fell a couple of years ago and skinned my knee. I still have the scar. Very graceful.

redmaryjanes said...

Oh girl, I could't even laugh at this post because I feel so sorry for you. Hope you leg is ok ma'am.

insanemommy said...

I had a pair of Armani years ago that I love. "gold" tag. Same thing happened to me. I tape and sewed those things up and got another couple years out of them. What I'd do to be able to squeeze my cheecks back into them!! lol..
