As is the custom of most teenagers, they like to wait until almost the last minute to finish homework…and this was the case Monday night. After Cori finished up her homework, she was searching everywhere for one of her binders (notebooks to us older folk). Looking high and low, in places it has never been, hoping maybe somehow it walked in there on it’s on. I asked, ‘did you leave it in the car’? ‘I don’t think so’, continues searching.
So I decide to put on my coat and shoes and go check and see if she left it in the car. It had been raining so the sidewalk was wet and it was pretty cold. I don’t think it warmed up as much as they thought it would (they being the weather persons). Most of our snow was gone except for the areas that had been piled up. I felt a little slick spot as I went to the car…the wet sidewalks were starting to freeze a little. I go around to the passenger side and look in the back seat. LO AND BEHOLD, there is her binder! I get it out and head back to the apartment…that’s when I busted my @$$ on the sidewalk…. go ahead you can laugh…I am fine…wasn’t hurt; I was somewhat prepared since I knew it was slick in places.
The next morning when I reached for my reading glasses by the bed they weren’t there. So I checked in the bathroom, a few other places I might have left them, not there. I usually keep them on the top of my head until they are needed. (This is why I lost a pair at the lake when Mom and I took my niece fishing. I leaned over the rail to look in the water and they fell off). AH Ha! They must have fell off when I landed on my rear. Jarin was going out that morning to get her charger out of my car and I told her to check and see if they were out there…. and they were!
The only ill effects are a sore muscle in my upper arm from having to call it into action so quickly to break my fall…ha.
Oh and I hope it was late enough and dark enough that I don’t show up on y0utube. :D
Take care,
Sheila
You be careful and that goes for all my southern friends that get ice more seldom than not. I take baby steps when I am on ice and make all kinds of promises to him or anyone that will listen not to slip. One slip and you are gone. Joe fell by thee mailbox yesterday but did not tell me till today. It is "snicing" like crazy. That is snow and rain making it more snow and rain rather than sleet. I love your blog design.

ReplyDeletedangerous. I love the snow but the ice has
got to go. All of our snow is gone I did
enjoy seeing it fall. I had to use a golf
club to crack the ice off my deck. We
