Have you ever had one of those moments where you just wanted to kick and scream, stomp, curse, cry, and laugh all at the same time? Well, I had one of those moments today. Now, all I can do is laugh. Now, I know what one of my beloved family member’s feels like. ;) (you know who you are).
Well, I was running late this morning (as usual) when trying to drop Faithy off at school this morning. There is a pull-around area in front of her school that you can pull into and drop the kiddos off, if there are no buses. I try not to pull up in there if I can help it because the bus drivers get REAL grumpy and get kinda nasty if you are there for even two seconds and they pull up. So, I try to think ahead and not pull in there if there are other people there. I don’t want them making a scene with me and embarrassing ME. I do that enough on my own. I don’t need any help in that area.
Anyway, I had to park off of the street. So, I figured I would walk Faith through the parking lot, because I didn’t want her to walk through the lot by herself (I don’t quite trust her yet on her own in a parking lot). So, I walk her up there and watch her walk in the front door. I turn around, in my little flip-flops (not one bit of traction), start to walk down the hill, and………………..WHAM!!! FLAT ON MY BUTT!!!! I know this happens to the best of us, BUT MEEEE?!!! :) Not only did I fall flat on my bootae, my $4 flip-flop went flying and broke, AND I let out a huge scream. So, I just couldn’t fall with class, I HAVE TO MAKE A SCENE! SERIOUSLY CHERYL?! Everyone and their sisters are there as they too are dropping off their children. Oh, really?! I just wanted to throw myself back on the ground, kick, scream, and throw my hands in the air. Yah, I’m okay (besides my favorite pair of pants being ripped and a pretty good gash on my knee…oh….not to mention my flip-flops having to be tossed in the trash). My pride is a little hurt as well. :( All I could think of is “please be okay, please be okay, I have Zumba tonight,” as I’m walking back to my van with a limp, torn jeans, and one flip-flop and and on flip-flop in my hand. :) So, I’m kinda waitin’ to see what the day has to bring me. I think I’ll be alright. I’m a little embarrassed, but I’ll live. So……..all I can really do now is laugh. That must have been really funny to see. :)
Anyway, just thought I would share and maybe provide a laugh to you too. :)
