Soooo, today's post is the embarrassing/klutz moments post. I've had several this past week, and felt so inclined to share.

Last Sunday started my week like all weeks should start. I'm a master at falling up stairs. I have fallen down them, (Take the time at my brother's house and the wipe out that had me limping for a day), but most of the time I fall up stairs. Go figure;) Our church is finally in our new building, but the stairs are a bit dangerous. They have a dangerous lip on them. Anyhow, as I was walking into church last week, in my classy, (totally dumb) heels, I caught my toe in on of the lips and started to tumble. I managed to ungracefully catch myself and grab the handrail for dear life. It's at this moment I look up and note a man from our church trying to hold in a snicker. His consolation: "I did that same thing, too". hehe, well if I'd been him I would have laughed too. I seriously think I could have won an America's most klutzy home video competition if they had one.

The next two moments all happened in one day--yesterday.
I was playing "Bad Grandpa" with my charges. Bad Grandpa is game we invented which basically is me or a poor, unsuspecting babysitter chasing rowdy kids up and down stairs while accusing them, in a VERY bad accent of some kind, that they are bad grandchildren. Grandpa, (me) then catches and tickles them until they are rescued by another "grandchild". I have often asked how they came about calling me grandpa, and they have no explaination. Anyhow, I was trying to catch Justin who was running in circles around the table, and his little sister somehow ran into me and shoved me into the china cabinet--hard. I'm amazed that I don't have a purple jaw line this morning. It was a very ungraceful moment in my nanny career.

Lastly--Jeanette and I were dropping off my car last night, and while stopped at a light I started making faces at her in my rearview mirror. She was in her car behind me, and having had a bad day; naturally, I thought I should cheer her up. So, I started jamming to my music, laughing and being a general idiot. I thought she could see me, and was reacting, so I kept it up. It was then that I felt eyes on me. I looked to my right and what should I see, but a guy in the neighboring lane pointing, laughing and raising his eyebrows at me. I quickly grabbed my cell and called Jeanette up. She informed me that she had not seen me at all. I chose not to look back at the guy who seriously must have thought I was out of my mind, and drove, fast when the light changed.

So, there you have it. I'm such a unique creation, and so felt the need to share some of my strangeness with you. Have great day on this rather springlike January day. Let's just hope I don't have more things to share at the end of this day..

Later!
