Last Friday I received a text from my sister with a picture of my mom. Her eye was swollen to the size of a golf ball and was black and blue. She had been walking my sisters dog and fell on the sidewalk. She was running and was so worried about keeping a hold of the dog she never put her hands out to catch herself so her head was the first thing to hit the ground. Luckily, she had no other injury. All tests came back fine and nothing was broken. She turned out to be quite lucky. However, her face continues to bruise darker everyday and spread all over the one half of her face. The day after her fall, I was heading out to help Brian on the deck and walked right into a hole on the deck and sprained my ankle pretty badly. I was put in a boot and given crutches. Since it was my right foot, I was not going to be able to drive. Luckily by Monday my moms swelling was down so she could come drive us around. This week the kids had school, we had to hit the laundromat, It was Halloween (also Kya's birthday), the girls had doctor appointments and I needed to grocery shop. So to say I was grateful she came to drive me around is an understatement. However, when we ran our errands we looked like we were coming back from some sort of wrestling match or just walked away from a car accident. People stared us down everywhere we went. My mom tried to wear her sunglasses everywhere which also looked pretty funny. Shopping with your sunglasses on also seems weird to people. It was quite a week with the two of us.
Poor Brian had to finish up the deck alone. I sat outside and tried to cheer him on. I don't know if he loved it or hated it though. The girls had a nail and hair salon outside while he worked. I think we ended up just being in his way more than anything. He's too nice to tell us though.
