Mommy I don't want you to go to work...

Okay so today was TOTALLY embarrassing... I'm known for being a total K L U T Z, but wow did I ever out do myself. I was in the break room at work, when I turned quickly - b/c for those of you who know me I do everything quickly! When - WHAM! I slam my right knee cap into the ice machine, the ice machine that is sticking out an extra four inches. I know, I probably could have hit it w/out it sticking out but at least this lets me save a little face:-) So I'm in the break room hopping around clutching my leg, feeling as if I might throw-up! I have no clue how I wasn't screaming obscenities, I guess the "I have toddlers who repeat things" filter was working b/c I was only cussing in my head:-) So I make it back to my desk (about 15 feet away)... when I say to my neighbor, "Donna?" Donna responds, but I'm clearly not the brightest bulb b/c I proceed to ask, "are you there?" which she says, "Yes?" I then tell her, "I just hit my knee on the ice machine so hard I might pass out!" So Donna being nice and not at all thinking "DRAMA QUEEN" comes over to see what I'm talking about. Apparently I looked rather pale, so she being a nurse was going to check out my knee, when I followed through with my claim and PASSED OUT:-) Donna not being prepared, tried to catch me but failed, said I was like a "skinny slinky w/ hair" so I hit the floor.

But on the positive side, I woke up w/ Donna holding me;-) A crowd of co-workers looking in on me, and memories of a wonderful dream. Now granted my knee still hurt, not to mention later I had a heck of a headache. So of course it couldn't just end there w/ an embarrassing moment - they have to call an ambulance and bring in EMTs. If they had their way I would have left on a stretcher - a total nightmare! I refused treatment, no surprise there... and then had to follow-up at the Employee Health Services.

Matt must have told Grace a bit about the story, b/c the first thing when she saw me was to ask about my knee. And then declare, "Mommy I don't want you going to work anymore - you might get hurt!" Matt must have failed to tell her, "you're Mommy's a klutz and could get hurt anywhere!" But it's nice to know someone loves you;-)
