This has absolutely nothing to do with PC! Warning, this will be a long post.
What a miserable, painful day I had today. First of all, I was helping my DH load up a bunch of tile in his trailer because he had to work tonight. Well, anyone who's familiar with a pallet jack knows that if you don't turn the handle, they will roll.
So, me, being dipsh!t extraordinaire, decided that I was going to try to stop it from rolling with my foot. (Had about 400# of tile on it). Well, guess what? Didn't stop! Rolled right over the top of my foot! Did I say Ouch? Oh yeah, and then some! So, after limping around for a while, I smashed my other foot on the trailer door. Double ouch!
Well, then after swallowing a handful of Ibuprofen to make it feel better, (somewhat), my DD wanted to practice pitching (she plays softball), so dummy me say "sure, I'll catch for you". Well, the first time I tried to squat down, I thought I was going to cry! How that hurt my feet! So, I decided to kneel...(I know you're all smiling, knowing where THIS is going!) She pitched the first ball, bounced right off my left knee! So, as I'm laying on the ground, writhing in pain, (of course, DD is laughing hysterically), I'm thinking, "this is probably not a good idea to be doing this today". But no, stupid me continues trying to catch for her, now standing up. Next pitch, throws it RIGHT AT ME, so in trying to avoid being hit again, I lost my balance and fell right on my arse. (go right ahead and laugh...it had to have looked ridiculous!). So, once again, I'm lying on the ground in pain, while DD is laughing hysterically once again, trying to ask me if I'm okay. No, I'm not okay, but I'm laughing so hard I'm crying at this point. So, I said enough of this! Then my DS decides to throw the ball so my sweet little dog can play with it. All's well until he throws to ball at me, bouncing it off my shin bone.
As you can probably guess, I said I quit, and hobbled my battered aching body back into the house.
Got NO sympathy from either one of my children, they are still laughing about it. If I keep up at this rate, I'll be in a wheelchair for conference!!!
Just needed to whine.
Happy to have provided you with a laugh!
