Our lives have been a little crazy around here. We've been very, very busy with Fred's father passing away. Family has been staying with us and we have been doing a lot of housecleaning at Grandpa Bandley's home. There is an amazing amount of "stuff" that has to be looked through and either filed away, given away or thrown away! It has been wonderful to have everyone just hanging out together. The brothers and their sister got to do some serious bonding. Someone dying will do that to a family and I mean that in a good way.
Anyway, back to the klutz story. As everyone had their boxes to sort through, it was noted that it would be handy to have a paper shredder close by. Ours was downstairs so I thought I would be helpful and bring it upstairs. It wasn't that the shredder was super heavy, more like ackward and I guess a little top heavy. I was hefting it up the stairs and had made it all the way to the top when my super gription (that's a cross between grippy and traction) shoes caught the carpet on the top stair causing me to fling forward (with the help of the shredder) and land on both knees. It hurt pretty bad, but my pride got in the way and I jumped up stating I was okay. I told Karalue that we better not tell Fred about the accident as he claims I'm always having accidents. I looked down at my leg as it felt like water was running down it, only to realize that it was not water but a lot of blood. It was a very deep, jagged cut that required about 20 stitches. We had to tell Fred afterall. Karalue was kind enough to take me to the hospital. A tetanus shot and about an hour later, I was home and and back to shredding. Go ahead. . . . call me a klutz!
P.S. The cut doesn't look all that bad but it was pretty deep requiring stitches underneath as well as on top.

Youch!! As if you didn't have enough to deal with as it is....
I would love to do lunch. :) This week is all booked up with helping at the kids' classrooms and field trips. But anytime, except for Tuesdays and Thursdays work for me. Let me know what works for you and we will hook up. :)
I'm so glad you weren't hurt any worse!! Maybe you should use different shoes when you're going up & down the stairs!! We need to get everyone together soon!!!
Maybe we can do either Monday or Friday in the first week of November? Or a Saturday would work great too...then I wouldn't have to bring any kids. :D I could do any Saturday.
