My feet are cursed

Remember my post about Aho running over my foot? It is still healing, and if I put a shoe on funny, it does hurt a bit. In our apartment, our kitchen chairs have rollers on them. Thursday (this is Sunday) I was rolling James in his high chair around the room, and it rolled over my foot, the same one that Aho rolled over! It cut my foot to shreds (that's an exaggeration, but I feel like it!) It hurts so bad. I am still limping around. It cut two nice slits in my baby toe, and the side of my foot. Sunday...it still hurts. Then, yesterday, I was out doing laundry, and came around the corner and could hear James screaming, because he was hungry, so I ran up the stairs, and tripped. Normally, that doesn't hurt, I have done it SEVERAL times, but these have metal in the step part. My shin hit it just right about the ankle and it kills! I finished the flight of stairs limping, opened the door, and yelled at Aho to get me some ice. It still hurts today, and I think it will for a while. I must have bruised my bones! I don't consider myself accident prone, but the last few weeks may suggest otherwise.

Oh Mel, You need to where lots of thick socks:) People usually don't realize how important their feet are till they damage them alot. I'm sure you know what i mean. Hope your feet get better!

Sad!! I'm sorry! I hate that and don't you feel so stupid triping UP the stairs??? I did it a couple months ago and I ripped my big toe nail off, bruised my chin, and scraped my fingers all up from the wall. I was carrying Matai at the time and I almost hit his head to. At least he didn't get hurt! And then to top it off 'Aisea just kept telling me "that I needed to be careful" LOL. Wonder where he hears that???

I got the backpack at the Babies R Us in Orem. They had a couple on display and we just popped Iva in them and tried them each out in the store. We picked the red Chicco one....so far she really likes it...and so does Josh (which is REALLY nice for me!)

What a stroke of bad luck! Are you still gonna be able to run this saturday in the race? I hope so. I love reading your stories, they always make me laugh.

Good grief, Mel! Maybe you should just stay in a for a little while until the curse ends--or whatever is happening to you!

Didn't you get the new kitchen table?
