Ok, here is how I almost broke my ankle. Alright, yes I can be some what of a dramatic person at times. But this is for REAL! Anyways, it all started Friday night, well technically it was 4am, so I suppose that makes it saturday at this point.
Let me start off with, my husband and I do not sleep in the same rooms. He has been banned to the spare room, until he goes to an ear/nose/throat doctor because he snores like a damn freight train. My husband is also like most men out there, which he refuses to go to a doctor any time soon.
So I wake up alone at 4am, because I am a "mom" and a very light sleeper. I think I hear a creak in the floor, as if there was someone walking around. So I sat up in bed, of course my heart feels like it is going to burst out of my flippin chest. It also felt like hours that I sat there completely silent. Waiting to see if I could hear any other "sounds" like there was an intruder. Finally, I decide that I need to go check, as random thoughts go thru my head (in all the horror flicks ppl always go check out the noise, and get killed. What the hell am I thinking?) So I lean over the bed and grab the maglight that I have on the side(btw, everyone in my family has one on the side of their bed. Does this seem strange? I dont' think so.) So I get out of bed and go down the hall. I do the traditional, room to room check of the house. I find nothing! So as I am going back to bed, down the hall, and as I am climbing over the damn baby gate(which is for my dogs, NOT for a freakin baby) I am lifting my leg over and somehow manage to hit myself in the ankle with the end of the flash light. OMG! it was all I could do not to cry. Of course then I got angry. I finally laid back down in bed, after I sat in bed for another 45 minutes waiting and listening. Of course nothing happened, and I finally fell asleep.
So I tell my husband that morning after he woke up what happened. He asks me "why was I walking thru the house in the dark" , assuming that I had just the flash light on. I told him I had all the freakin lights on, the "flash light" was for protection. He says "from who"? Yourself? ha ha ha, yes LMAO, he thought that was so hilarious. I said no, it was for in case there was an intruder. Again with the laughs. I honestly did not find it all that funny!
Maybe I should consider getting rid of the maglights in the house, because this is not the first injury in our house due to the "mag light". The first time I accidentially hit my chiuhuahua in the head with one. Please ppl it really was an accident. That one landed us at the ER vet, which was #2 time for her. Glad to say that she ended up with just a really bad heahache. Whew!
Good news is my ankle is NOT broken,
just bruised and I will be fine.
No sympthy cards will be necessary at this time.
Thank you
