Mommy Down, 6th Green
So after 9 days on vacation we're home.We had a fabulous time!
But it is nice to be
Especially after my fall yesterday.
Oy.
During our 3rd trip to the mini-golf course, I ran to the restroom.
Literally.
Ran.
Through the lumps, bumps, hills, valleys, obstacles, and treacherous-mommy-attacking course.
Guess what happened?
Yep, I tripped.
And fell.
Hard.
It was one of those slo-mo-I'm-really-going-to-fall-on-my-face in front of all these tweens, families, and my own kids, type of fall.
I constantly, CONTSTANTLY tell my kids to WALK, not run anywhere, everywhere.
But, I had to get back on the course and get my 7-stroke-on-a-par-3 score!
Well, I paid for it.
Major golf-course-faux-grass-carpet-burn on my knee.
My right ear plugged from the impact.
The headache I had was scary-awful.
The aches in my body the day-after are still throbbing.
And, nope, no award-winning photo to capture the pure ridiculousness of it all.
Thank goodness.
The only bonus was hubby winning a jackpot at the end of the course, winning a free game.
We went again today before we headed home.
I walked.
Slowly.
Around the course.
I think my blood is still on the "carpet" on the 6th green.
And some skin.

I am glad to see that you are back and that none of your fingers were broken in the fall...broken fingers = no typing = no posts for us to read!

Watching The Bachelor right now and am just disgusted but relieved....

July 6, 2009 at 8:26 PM

July 6, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Awww, that stinks... Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip.
July 6, 2009 at 8:40 PM
Oh my goodness, poor you!
July 6, 2009 at 9:40 PM

So sorry about your fall, but it made for great blog fodder.
Welcome back!

Good lord...you must have fallen REALLY hard! Glad you're okay! Next thing you know you'll be running with scissors and pushing at the water fountain!! :)

Ugh! Sucks. But I have to admit seeing a grown adult trip and fall has some comic relief.
July 7, 2009 at 5:52 AM
Glad you are home!! Missed you! I hope you heal up quick.. that sounds awful!!!
July 7, 2009 at 6:29 AM
I'm glad I'm not the only one that does face plants.... Thanks for taking one for the team.
July 7, 2009 at 7:36 AM
Oh my, I hope you mend quickly! We just can't fall like we used to!
July 7, 2009 at 7:57 AM
Your my hero! Your such a trooper. lol
July 7, 2009 at 9:24 AM
Ohmygosh, you poor thing! Isn't it amazing that kids can do that same kind of fall, cry a little, and then be fine. But at some point, we just lose our sponginess or something. Our impact absorption. (Cause I'm pretty sure we're technically spongier than when we were younger!)
July 7, 2009 at 12:33 PM
Yuck!
I am such a klutz I do stuff like this all the time.
July 7, 2009 at 12:52 PM
Welcome back and... be careful.
July 7, 2009 at 1:51 PM
Glad you had a great vacation (well, except for the falling part--OuCh!!). Welcome home!
July 7, 2009 at 1:57 PM
OH honey. owie. Totally something I would do. Hope you're feeling better!!!!!
July 7, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Oh no! That sounds painful! And you still went back, huh? I probably would've avoided the place. Home you still made it to the bathroom in time!
July 7, 2009 at 6:58 PM
I'm sorry I laughed a bit till I read you were really hurt. I hate that more than your ego got bruised. Feel better!

Welcome home! Now get going on those Bachelorette posts! I chose not to watch this season so I heavily depend on your commentary! :)

Oooooo sounds very painful - hope you heal quick!!! On the bright side next time you tell your kids to walk you have a good example to give them.
