Klutz Jr.

For anyone that keeps up with the Bains/LeFebvres via blog or facebook I'm sure you've noticed a trend of falling a lot.  Mara even chronicled some of her falls here: Klutz with a capital K!!.  And we have Erin's falling-over-a-kid-chair-with-a-laundry-basket incident, and Charlie's anti-slip-rug-fail fall at Snap fitness.  Erin and I found it extra funny when setting up her Wii Fit profile that during the balance test results it asked her: "Do you find yourself falling a lot while walking?"

This weekend I was no exception to the family klutz curse.  It was the Roomie's birthday last week so Saturday we went out to have a few drinks at a bar in town.  Apparently the task of walking down three stairs proved to be too much for my feet.  [Before I go any further I would like to add that I swear I only had two drinks in me at this point, we had just gotten there.]  Somehow I manage to fall on a set of three steps, someone grabbed my arm before I could do a complete face plant: my knee hit the ground but my foot was still on the step above so my shin got caught in the middle on the edge of the step. I didn't even spill my drink, but now my shin hurts like a bi&@%.

 

I know this sounds bad, but I'm kind of disappointed in the resulting bruise.  It doesn't look nearly as bad in comparison to how much it still hurts over 24 hours later.  I never knew that socks could be painful to wear.

So here is a picture...labeled and everything.  LoL

And to add to things we wanted to try on knee length bridesmaids dresses yesterday when Sam bought her dress. Perfect.  I'll have to be wrapped in bubble wrap two weeks before Sam's wedding so I don't end up with bruise covered legs for the wedding.
