Slip Slidding Away

Fishing ended up being so much fun! I caught two little fishies and my husband caught a nice big bass. We did the catch and release thing....which mine would have been releasers anyway. We also seen a couple deer and a snake (yikes!). We were fishing by the boat docks where boat owners come to put their boats in the water. It amazed me to see people with boats that had to cost thousands of dollars, in which they put hundreds of dollars of gas in them, only to have them in the lake 10-15 minutes and then they would load it back up and leave. It hardly seems worth it to me. Once we got home we found out that we were infested with tics. Yuck! Nasty little critters. I was the only one that had one embed his head in me and my husband had to burn it out of my stomache. Still 4 days later I feel like I have bugs crawling all over me.

Early Saturday morning a storm rolled through. Our dog is terrified of thunder and my husband is not the dog lover I am and refuses to let our dog sleep in our bed. So I had to go upstairs and sleep with her on the couch when she woke me up at 4:00AM crying because it was thundering so loud. It took about an hour for her to settle down and go to sleep. In the meantime my 50 pound dog was walking on my face, hair and body. At 8:00AM I am awaken again by my husband screaming "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I ask him what is wrong and all I hear again is "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I immediately think he is having a heart attack or something so I jump up to run down stairs. I had socks on my feet (remember I have a bum ankle....and I don't wear my brace at night time) and we have hardwood floors.....so you know where this is going? Things happened so fast but I believe my ankle gave out as I was running because I slipped on the floor and this all happens at the top of the staircase. The next thing I know I am doing a summersault and then was bouncing down the stairs on my back head first. Now I am screaming "Ahhhhhhhhhh!". I turns out my husband had a charlie horse and since I was not down there to rub it out he tried to get up and walk it out - which didn't work. I have a huge ugly bruise on my back and my right gluteus maximus hurts like hell but (no pun intended) other than that all is good.
