Toes and my inability to walk

I'm not always so good at walking. Over the course of my life I've blamed it on all kinds of things (the shoes I'm wearing, I can't see well, i'm really tired) but the fact is that I'm just not that great at walking. I am constantly triping and stubbing my toes. Friday was one of those days.

I came home from work and was doing some things around the house. I don't wear shoes in the house (some people think this is too hazordous for me.) I'm walking into the bathroom when I miss judge the door frame and stub my toe really bad. I shout out a few choice phrase words and hobble into the bed room. At this point I decide that walking is too dangerous for me right now and that lying on the bed and watching Oprah would be a safer option. (this is saying a lot because I don't think Oprah is always the best/safest thing to watch.)

After lying on the bed for almost an hour my toe is still throbbing really bad. This can't be good. I begin to walk aorund again which is really painful. My toe at this point is turning a nice shade of purple and is swollen. So swollen in face that when I went out last night I had to wear flip flops becuase shoes just hurt too much.

By Saturday morning my entire toe, both top and bottom and a little into my foot was compleatly black and blue. I would be worried if this was the first time this has happened but unfortunately this is not a unusual event in my life. I'm sure if I ever took the time to have these things exrayed I would find that I have broken my toe at least 2 or 3 times. :o(

mothers day and family pictures

Back at christmas time my sister and her husband had a family picture taken on them infront of their fire place with their dog. It was a really cute picture and they sent it out with their Christmas Cards. My mom loved the picture so much she went and bought a nice frame. The picture now sits on an end table in the living room.

Then in March my brother and his wife had their picture taken infront of my parents fireplace at their rehersal dinner. My mom also loved this picture very much and got a nice frame for it. This picture now sits next to my sisters on the end table in the living room.

I was feeling left out, so I got my mom a nice frame for mothers day and put this picture in it.
