As if it would surprise any of you that know me to be late... This is a good excuse, though, so I'm already forgiven. (Thanks.) Last week was pretty much a whirlwind of things going on - we had to pack up and move out of our rental by Saturday 12/22, as you know. I stressed about it all day Friday, knowing my husband was there alone finishing up everything. I mean, I couldn't lift anything anyway, but when he told me, "I just need you here," when I called him during my lunch break, I realized that taking the day off of work would have been much smarter. I was looking for things to do at the office, I had gone thru my work so quickly. Anyway, by the time I got off work (they let us go 30 min early), Don & his friend were finishing up, my mom was there helping out, and we just had a few more things to do. We packed up the remainder of things (our clothes, etc) into our 4 cars and drove off. Phew! Saturday, we drove back out there and cleaned up, got any extra things we couldn't fit Friday night (cleaning supplies, etc) and got ready to make our escape. In all the "fun" of cleaning both bathrooms, I must've had some water on my shoe, because as I was rounding a corner, I slipped & fell. It scared me! I slipped, went down on one knee, then the other, and caught myself w/my hand. I literally saw my life flash before my eyes when I noticed the corner of the wall right at my left eye. Don came running over asking what happened, and I just started crying. Well, I tried to, at least. No tears. I told him what happened, he consoled me w/a chuckle (nervous, I'm sure), and then I cried for real. Ah tears. You know when you want to cry, but no tears come out, and it's such a disappointing feeling? I never cry, well, rarely if ever, so this new hormonal thing is interesting. So ya, that happened. We were all done and out of there by 3'ish, so the whole day wasn't shot. Note to self: hire cleaners next time, especially if pregnant. OMG, I overdid it w/the bending over, scrubbing the tub/shower, even doing the mopping. When we close on the house, I will take the day off, hire someone to clean & not worry! The one good thing that came from all that moving around - I got to feel some kicks from the baby!
