For Xmas, I gave each of the girls a sewing basket with eveything they'd need to sew a garment and I'd give them lessons to complete the job. Daimhin decided that we should have 'Sewing Saturdays' on Saturdays that nothing else was going on. This morning was the first 'Sewing Saturday'.
I headed over to Scott's to arrive at 10:00 am. Upon arrival, I was thinking about the teaching task ahead and not watching my footing. The next thing I knew I was spread eagle on my stomach on the sidewalk with the wind knocked out of me. My glasses were off, my purse was somewhere on the sidewalk and I was crying. There was a small patch of ice on the sidewalk as I turned to go to the front door and my foot briefly made contact with it. Boommmm! I was afraid to move for a few minutes but then realized no one would hear me if a yelled so I better try to get up. I began to move and realized that I seemed to be intact. When Scott opened to door, he wanted to know what was wrong. I told him and that I just needed to take a moment to settle myself. He left me and went to salt the patch of ice.
I am quite stiff all over but no broken bones or any serious hurts or sprains. Thank God. We carried on with Sewing Saturday and the girls got their garments cut out and ready to sew on the next SS. This is one time that I'm glad there is no picture to post on the blog.
I shall survive to make life interesting for all of you.

Ow!! Hope nothing shows up in the next day or two and that you're OK. I suppose that there are advantages to a bit of extra padding. I swear that few extra pounds broke my impact when I hit that car windshield.
Sorry we had such a hazardous entry.
Take are of your aching muscles. If you need anything, I am sure your negligent son will run right over to take care of you.
wife of the negligent son
Scott was removing the evidence.
Feel better! Nothing like getting the wind knocked out of you to make you feel humble.
Ted, not actually related to negligent son
OUCH! you'd think with all of our extra padding we'd bounce...we don't! Feel better soon:)
