did I deserve this?

Ok, your last post had me laughing so hard, I couldn't stop. Not that your misfortune or ridiculous camping trip is something to laugh at. But COME ON! That is an unbelievable series of unfortunate events! If I were there right now, I would bring you chicken soup, good juice and some really good movies.

So you asked about my weekend? Well, I've been feeling pretty burnt out and after last weeks parent meeting, I couldn't cope with one more thing. So, I decided that since it was a long weekend, we would do something we never do, the place with all the "M"'s There was something wildly liberating about going through the drive thru and a little nostalgic.

I got home and told Stefan that I had dinner and as I stepped off the concrete in front of his office, my right foot caught something unstable and I went down like a ton of bricks. The drinks and food went flying and I found myself curled up on the ground holding onto my knee groaning with blinding pain. What I had stepped on was a brick that Liam had taken out of the ground and left sitting there, after Stefan told him a million times to put them back.

So I hobbled into the kitchen and like a five year old, winced at the pain and felt so nauseous at the sight of the hole in my knee. Stefan patched me up, but it hurt so much I couldn't sit at the table. After a while I decided to go upstairs and get changed.

I thought I heard Stefan calling me to come downstairs and so, I hobbled down our twisty staircase only to fall down it. One hurt knee, one very hurt right side of body. Then I started crying. Oh, and did I tell you I fell down the stairs the night before at 1:00am while I was going to get Violet who was screaming? Is this all bad karma for giving my kids "M" for dinner?

My knee is better today, although in hind sight I probably should have gone to get stitches. I still wince at the sight of it, but at least I can bend my knee and walk a little better.

So yeah, this Mercury in retrograde....SUCKS! If it weren't for the Ruby Slipper Project, I would just want to sleep through the rest of the month. I hope you feel better soon, or at least have someone take your kids so you can take care of yourself!

Love you lots.
