It's boot weather!

and I've got the most in fasion boot there is!
Yep I broke my toe!
So I don't advise you to kick the door when you are angry or not. (I was not, Im just a little accident prone)
I was starting the water for pj's bath. I hadn't got him in yet when Paisley started crying. SO I thought I would run in and give her her bink so Jordan didn't have ot go all the way up stairs just for that. WEll on the way out my foot hit the door! Boy did it hurt I let out a yell and fell to the floor. Parker started crying of course and Jordan came running up. He was about to tell me not to be over dramatic when he saw the toe. It was pointing in the wrong direcion. I then had to decide what to do about it. Im not good at making those decision. (It took me for ever to make a final decision to go to the hospital when my water broke with Paisley) It was SOOOO painful to walk on so we found a sitter. (the neighbors, they are so amazing) And we headed off to the insta care. Thankfully it wasn't to busy and there weren't many sick people. They put me in a wheel chair and we joked and laughed about my misfortune and how medically we haven't been that lucky this year. They wheeled me back. Took my blood pressure and what not then the dr.

Then the PAINFUL xray! (did I mention Im grateful insta care does xrays? I am cause a visit to the er would be a $75 copay! OUCH!) It actually wasn't to bad till she had to set up the last xray. Its hard to explain what I had to do but lets just say I was laughing so I didn't cry! The whole time I had to pee. Got back into the room and the dr came in and said sure enough its broke. (toes aren't suppose to point side ways apparently) So he was telling us he was going to buddy tape it and giving us options. Saying something about pulling it to get it to come down. Then I got dizzy and felt like passing out. Well the next thing I remember was waking up to Jordan saying my name. Ok I remember a little bit about being passed out. It felt dark and I just kept thinking I needed ot get out. (where ever that was) and and everything was shaking. I guess thats cause I was shaking. It really freaked Jordan out. I on the other hand have passed out a few times. Not a fun experience cause you feel sick the rest of the day. And apparently the next day too. They got me laid down and finally taped my toes together. I wouldn't let them pull it, but really didn't want to pass out again.

We got home and our kids were all asleep and I got to go to bed after taking some ibuprophen. Thank goodness I still have that from my csection! Paisley was great she only woke up once last night and I was already up to take so tylenol!

I think I will be taking it easy today! Just chill on the couch as much as the kids will let me. Oh what fun it is to break a bone. SO I broke my 28 almost 29 year streak of no broken bones. Im greatful it was just a toe cause boy does that hurt!

Sorry to hear your broke your streak. It took me a little longer than you though. I didnt break anything till I had the broken ribs from the ambulance crash. Prop it up so it dont swell. But that dont get you out of exercize. Do the yoga if you can.
Love ya. :)

Oh OUCH!!!! I think I broke my middle toe the other day! But it isnt misshapen or anything...Just bruised and really tender. I put my tennis shoes on to go to work and thought I was going to die! So in other words I am feeling your pain! LOL! I hope your feeling better! Oh and I LOVE your page! So cute and fun!!!
