Klutz!

Oh boy does this run in the family. McCullough's are notorius for moving too quickly which often results in something getting broken or someone getting hurt. I'm afraid I've passed that on to my daughter. She's constantly bruised and scratched up. I took her for her 18 month appointment yesterday with a big scratch up her back from a fall on Sunday, but the pediatrician didn't even seem to notice. Poor kid's always a mess.

But, this week it's been me. On Tuesday night, some friends were sitting around the table at Sarah's house playing Catan. I was just getting ready to set Allie on the floor when the chair broke and Allie and I both ended up on the floor. Granted, that wasn't really my fault but things like this seem to follow me.

Today, I was expecting a call but had forgotten to take the phone with me when Allie and I went to jump on the trampoline. I heard the phone ring and jumped down off the trampoline, zipped Allie in, and ran for the phone. BAM! I ran right into a thin string that Tim had running between the new fence posts he put in. I didn't even see it. It clotheslined me right across my face! It knocked me to the ground, split my lip open, and bruised my arm and chin. And no, I didn't make it to the phone.

Hopefully, Allie will learn to slow down and watch where's going and what she's doing....I'm still learning.
