Okay, nuf of this already!! Yep, I was going up one step from DD's office room into their living room. Only one step and not a very high one. I misjudged the height of the step and didn't quite make it. I go upstairs backwards using my walker, easier that way. Fell down..boom!! Nothing seriously hurt, just a bit sore all over. "Old" people should not fall down..LOL!! Then there was the little problem of getting myself up again. Fortunately one of my DSIL's was right there and picked me up..and I'm no lightweight..LOL!! I'm gonna hit the muscle relaxants and Ibuprophen tonight for sure!!

I had a great time at DD2's house, loved it!! We were on the patio first while the kiddies were playing in the back yard. Then I was throwing a ball to Conner who was hitting it with a bat..no..make that a rubber sword!! Then I was chasing Scott around..him on a little scotter thingie..me in my wheelchair, fun!! Kyra was doing some of her gymnastic tricks and some on the bar of the swing set too.

Then it was time to go in and eat yummy grilled cheeseburgers with pasta salad, chips, and fresh fruit. I put the diet aside and ate as much as I wanted. It had been such a long time since I had "bad for you" food that I decided ahead of time that I was going to go for it tonight..and I did for sure!! Then the cake came out..white cake with whipped cream frosting with strawberries and blueberries arranged like an American flag. I had two pieces..LOL!! Gosh I needed that!! ;o)

Kyra and I then played Crazy Eights cards and Checkers and Pick Up Sticks. Scott and Allison rode around the house on my lap while I wheeled. Scott was singing so cute (1½ yrs old) on the Karaoke michrophone of Kyra's, then Kyra played the guitar.

My DSIL's were watching a Formula I car race on TV for awhile and I got to visit with my two DD's. I also gave baby Allison her first hair trim, only her bangs. She wanted me to hurry up and get finished. So cute!! We saved the pieces of hair for her memory book too of course. The weather was perfect and I loved my day out and had a very good time.

I want to real all about your day too, but I'm sore and very tired, so I think I'll wait til tomorrow for that. If I'm not on the board til tomorrow afternoon, it's because DD2 is taking me to get a pain block done in my left hip. This is a routine thingie that I get ever so often.

Hope you all had a great day too, or a nice relaxing one. Sweet dreams everyone.

Hugs,

Oh, Susiebug! It's not time yet to do gymnastics on the stairs. I hope you didn't do any serious injury. You probably won't feel the worst of it until tomorrow. I hope your pride was hurt more than anything else (lol).

We had a beautiful day here--sun, 60s, slight breeze. Nothing exciting. I made brats and hamburgers on the grill and was entertained by several of DD's friends and their music (where's the aspirin).

I feel so foolish. I worked on my computer all morning trying to figure out why the printer wasn't working. After several hours, I finally gave in and asked DH to take a look. Presto! It wasn't plugged in all the way. Will I ever be able to live that down?

I'm watching your man Robert in "The Horse Whisperer" right now. I've never seen him in a movie I didn't like. I'm going to hit the pillow as soon as it is over if I stay awake that long.

CU tomorrow. Kathey

Am I going to have to come down there and make you behave yourself young lady? lol....Glad you were not hurt worser....

I did the non diet thing this weekend too and gall bladder didn't like it but so what I had fun. Things are quiet again now.

DDIL bought some wine coolers and left 3 of the 4 for me. I had only tried one years ago and it was a strawberry thing that reminded me of that stuff I had to take before hospital tests. It was carbonated like pop but it was like strong CoolAid with out sugar but like a pop....the nastiest thing you ever drank.......OOOOOOO but they have improved them since then.......she says....

So this afternoon I thought I would try one of them....It was a Margarita flavored one and lets just say that I won't be going to Betty Ford anytime soon.....if you know what I mean.....the last 2 of those might still be here for her when she comes back in a year or so.....lol.....

But we had a good visit. DS1 is a nut so we were laughing a lot.

I too am going to call it an early night I think. I have to shut the windows again but then they say maybe 80s tomorrow.....

Susie, so glad that you weren't seriously hurt! Other than your fall it sounds like a wonderful day for you and yours! So nice! I almost fell on Sunday also, DH and I had taken Anna to the dog park and were walking back to the car(I was holding Anna on leash)and because of all our rain the pavement was mossy and slippery under the trees and I almost went down, DH caught my arm, TG! Not a fun thing to do. Take Care and (((HUGS)))KC

Poof!!! I'm gone!!

Good Morning Susie...

So you must be getting good at this "falling down" thing by now..LOL Really girl take care of yourself, we need you up and around by Sept.

Doesn't it feel good to "be bad" every once in awhile. I can't remember the last time I had a cheeseburger...my favorite is a Bacon Cheeseburger..Just remembered the last time I had one...it was back in January when my nephew was in the hospital and my brother and I went out for something to eat....can almost taste it...

Well again take care....

Ouch! Hope you aren't too sore today.

Sounds like your day, other than that fall, turned out pretty nice. Now I'm hungry for a cheeseburger!

You be careful, Susie! I have plenty of walking planned for you in September! ;-)

Seriously ... Do be careful. Being sore is difficult enough, but if you injure another part of your body ... Ouch!

I love your description of children's games and activities. Sounds like everyone had great fun.

Enjoy the day!
