ouch.

Well, yesterday I sprained my ankle pretty severely when I was carrying my daughter to the car in the snow.  There was a patch of ice under the snow and I fell.  I made sure Adelle was okay and she landed on her feet, but my ankle popped and now I have a high ankle sprain.  Oh, and I was wearing heels because I had just come from a job interview (which was a HUGE waste of my time).  I know, not very smart to carry a child in fresh snow... I'm learning my lesson.  I am grateful for my parents' next door neighbor who happened to be outside and heard me yell out when I fell.  He literally carried me on his back into my parents' house and I'm not a tiny girl.  So, for his kindness I truly am grateful.  I'll have to make his family some cookies or something with a card.

In the meantime, Luke is taking care of me as he has quite a bit of experience with every type of ankle injury you could imagine.  I am really HATING being so immobile.  I have crutches, but I'm already so exhausted from having to hobble around.  Can I have my leg back, pleeeeeaaaaase???

Thank you to Mom & Dad who are watching Adelle today so that I could manage on my own.
