Feeling the love

[keelywolfe]

Today I decided the best way to start the day would be to slip and fall, so that went well. I have hardwood floors and found a patch that was dangerously slippery to my sock-only feet. I was carrying a plate to the kitchen and it broke when I hit the floor and cut my hand. Tiny cut, but deep, and bleeding.

So there I am, laying on the floor dazed and bleeding, and my four-year old started to cry...because I broke her plate.

I can see that I have ingrained sympathy in her from birth. *G*

P.S. I'd like to report that I am okay, just a little sore. It didn't occur to me that I had to add that when I texted the event to my husband and he frantically replied to see if I was all right. I was sort of hoping the ability to text meant that I wasn't lying on the floor in a coma, but at least HE cared about me and not the plate!

One time I fell down the stairs and my kid just looked at me, like, "Hey Mom, what'cha doin' on the floor?"

*Hugs you* I've been there several times. Ice the sore places so they don't bruise as badly, and drink lots of water and be gentle with yourself. Falling like that is traumatizing.

My tush certainly wasn't happy about it and I think I strained my wrist, plus my cut hand but all and all, a little advil and I'm all right. Good thing it wasn't the girl's Hello Kitty plate, she'd never have forgiven me.
