Stupid School System!!!

[Janet]

We had a two hour delay today and it should have been cancelled. Took me 25 minutes longer to get to school the roads were so bad. I was so anxious to get on the highway but when I did it was horrible. I couldn't see any pavement. The highway was snow and ice packed and it was like driving on a road with pot holes all over it. Very dangerous.

When I got home, I stepped out of the bus and fell, my back and hip hit the first step so I am in a lot of pain right now. Hopefully the Tylenol will kick in here in a few minutes. I'm afraid to lie down, afraid I won't be able to get back up.

Called my Mother to let her know she needed to cancel tomorrows Dr. appointment and she said the roads were not that bad, but hasn't been out of her house for 3 days. I told her we can schedule it for next week and she said she wasn't rescheduling. She just wouldn't go at all. So.....I politely told her I needed to go take some Tylenol, hung up and cried.

I'm not having a good day at all.

I hope you're okay! Do you get "injury in the line of duty" days off? (We did in NYC).
If you do take them and rest up. That's a terrible way to start your week.

Mom is too funny! Just ignore what she says. She'll go to the doctor.

Anyway, a big hug to you and I hope you feel okay!

I hope you didn't mess yourself up too bad in you fall.

As for Mom... well she's only hurting herself. If she chooses to act like a toddler at her age there's not squat you can do about it.

Janet - gosh I hope you are ok. That's horrible to start your Monday off w/ stressed out nerves then to physically get hurt on top of that.

Id cry too - so lots of hugs to you. I do hope tomorrow is better for you.

I'm sure Mom will come around and realize she's just being silly. Maybe she needs you to Mother her and just tell her this and that. Reverse rolls now.

Please hang on climbing outta that bus next time ok?

I very often fall down half the stairs. The first words outta my mouth as I yell is "Im sober ~ Not my fault!!!!". Usually at that point hubby see's what type of shoes Im wearing then gripes at me for that. My excuse is Im just in too big of a hurry most the time to slow down and pay attention So....make sure those shoes you are wearing are good and solid so ya don't slip. I already know you're sober, LOL!!!

[Janet]

You're right Sheryl, I'm sober, but I sure as heck wish I wasn't!!! I am hurting so bad. I sure hope it's better by morning. It all happened so fast. I just stepped out of the bus..I thought it was just snow, but it was solid snow/ice and my feet just went out from under me. I hit the back of my hip, very big knot about as round as the size of a cereal bowl and also hit my upper side/back. My shoulder blade is hurting more now, but when I slid, I must have tried grabbing the handrail on my way down. I wanna be drunk so bad right now!

Maybe you should go get checked out by your doctor Janet. It sounds like you hit pretty darn hard. Did you notify work that you fell?

Ever do something and say 'Ohhhh that's gonna leave a mark?'. I say this often and well I think of you now.

Maybe soaking in a hot tub w/ epsom salts will help? Pain killers work too!!

Do hope you feel better real soon!
