Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

My Deluxe Oh Crap Moment

September 19, 2010

Yesterday I was at Starbucks with my Treat Receipt to get a cheap iced coffee before I picked Chris up from work. I got out of the car and walked up to the store front and then I tripped. It was all in slow motion – the falling, my knee hitting the pavement, trying to put my hands out to stop the fall (and failing), and knowing that my head was about to hit the door and managing to only hit it slightly. Then I just sort of curled up for a couple moments trying to take in what happened. I looked up and saw no one at the counter so, being the shy person I am, was thankful at first that no one saw. Then I was mad because it was a crappy ending to a crappy emotional day. So I walked to the car, without going in (too embarrassed), but you know? It would have been nice if just one person who was in that store and if they had seen what happened to come out and asked if I was okay. But, as my luck would have it, that didn’t happen. So, when I got home I grumped to Starbucks. Mostly ’cause I just needed to. It’s not their fault, and I won’t sue, but it just would have been nice to have someone give a damn. You know?

My legs and knee are sore, my right knee is scraped up, and I’m feeling raw today. So, I’m going to spend the day brooding because I want to. Then, tonight, I’ll clean up a little, and watch thirtysomething. Tomorrow I’ll pick myself up and start again. It’s what I do. What I have to do.
