A journey through my pregnancy. My meltdowns (which I seem to have alot of), my triumphs, my worries and anxieties. And now the journey continues!! Life as a mommy of 2!!

Hell wants me sooner


A visual aid.



So here I am walking along minding my own business. The jeep is next to me, but I'm not much of a paint artist.

And this is what I looked like after the ground opened up to swallow me whole.

OK a quick review of last night. We parked the car. I got out of the passenger side (btw, this is at our old house). I opened Danny's door and unbuckled him but then decided I wanted to get my purse from the back first. I was walking on the strip of grass that runs between the sidewalk and the curb. Next thing I know I'm falling and splat on the ground. I screamed for E to get me up. He thought I just fell, but I yelled that my leg had been swallowed whole by the ground and I couldn't touch the bottom. I was seriously in the hole up to my hip/cooter. The pic is not completely accurate b/c my shoe actually fell off. I was so freaked out and I have a nice road rash on my elbow and it aches up to my shoulder. And I have a nice black/deep purple bruise on my hip. I tried to convince E to go take a pic of the hole so I could share, but he said no. BTW I called the police so they could put up barriers before someone, like say a small child??fell through. The police showed up and shined a flashlight in it and said "Yup. It's a hole. Have to get somebody to fix that" And then they left. E put a piece of plywood over it. The city filled it this morning.

Oh my goodness! Sounds awful! So sorry your body got banged up. But, better you than either of your darlings, I suppose.
