...when Mami's break down...

Oh readers, as my facebook status states, I am muddling through this morning...though hobbling might be a better word choice. Last night on 'When Refrigerators Attack', the Man of the Hour and I were having a moment of good natured fun in the kitchen, blissfully unaware that the fridge was, even then, plotting my demise. Somehow, a little bit of push coming to shove ended with me getting my foot stuck under the door and bent in half. My dancer's feet stood me well on that point, as it bent and arched instead of snapping bone. Unfortunately, that didn't help one little bit when the door was pulled back abruptly, caught on the back of my ankle and cut down right into my achilles tendon.

I am so thankful for the miracle that is the shock effect! The pain didn't set in until I was halfway bandaged up...but oh my gosh, it bled like a head wound! This morning I saw all the dried blood pooled on the kitchen floor...ugh, so gross...and what a pain to clean up later!

So the Man of the Hour had to rustle up a pair of crutches at midnight while I tended to the first aid component of my wound.

And this morning? Ugh! Trying to make breakfast, pack lunch, help the Mister Man get dressed...even making coffee...ten thousand times more difficult!!! I never realized how much I usually get done (I'm a total caffeinated multi-tasker) until I had to do only one thing at a time and with only one hand!

....new week, new inspiration...

I'd love for any of my non-commenting readers to leave me a comment...and yes, I know you are out there...see, at the bottom...Live Feed! :)
And if you really want to wow me...go ahead and suggest some other topics for Inspiration Point!
This weekend my son was in an extra cuddle-bug kind of a mood...which made for some lovely extended storytime snuggles on the sofa. We're reading our way through a compendium of fairytales...he reads one page, I the next. And so, straight from our sofa to you, I'm stuck on Snow White this week. Ya know, she of the rosy cheeks and charcoal hair...the great beauty sleep...the fairest of them all...
Who wouldn't want to go down as the fairest of them all?!?
