Were YOU a Witness?

So... I pull into the school parking lot that has a rope dividing the school's driveway.  I was in a hurry.  It was snowing.  I had boots on... because it was... well, snowing.  It was 3:04 and I was suppose to be there by 3:00.  School gets out at 3:05 so there were LOADS of people waiting in their vehicles at the time.  

What do I do?

Trip over the rope.

I didn't catch myself in any way.

My entire left side was wet... from the APRIL snow.  When I say "entire," I mean my face too. Good thing I had mittens  on to wipe my face off.  (Did I mention that it IS the end of April and I had mittens on?  Just checking.)

About two hours later... I had a throbbing headache and my ENTIRE body hurt.

Hmmm... wonder what could have caused that?

I didn't look around.  I just got myself right up and pretended it never happened.  I made eye contact with no one and hurried on my way.  

(I do NOT want to know if you saw me.)

((Let's not mention that I totally biffed it a few weeks ago while walking the two smaller dogs and pushing Nathan's scooter at the same time.  We were right smack dab in the middle of our neighborhood that time.  I visited my good friend, Mr. Chiropractor.  I have a feeling I will be seeing him again REAL soon.))

(((Hmph... I bet it WAS Spring then if I was out walking the pups.  It was definitely a short season.)))

Just be thankful you weren't in your pj's right?
I've had several of those "no eye-contact" moments.. I feel for you.

Thanks for sharing your embarassing moment to entertain us! :) Very funny.
I feel your pain about the April snow, over here in CO we just had a really bad snow storm last week! Then, of course since it is CO we were up to the 80s this week! Gotta love it! :)

Embarassing moments. What would we do without them?

Your situation reminds me of a cool guy in our high school. He would always saunter around with his books in one hand and his other hand in his pocket. We had chains around the front yard of the school. Low chains. That day cool guy came sauntering up to the chains with both hands occupied and ATE the grass. You could hear the laughter a block away I'm sure. He casually got up, picked up his books, brushed off his pants and stuck his hand back in his pocket. He then went on his merry way. Cool guy.
