My clumsy self

For those of you who know me, clumsy is my middle name. Even as an adult, I feel slightly like my dear 2- year old, running into walls, tripping over toys (okay, maybe not so unusual as a mom!), or generally being a freak magnet for accidents. Well, this past Sunday, I did it again--in public. Here's the rundown..
After debating over whether or not to eat out, we decided to go out for Mexican food after church. After five minutes of being there (it doesn't take me long!), I decided to go to the restroom and take Layton with me. While I was holding him and walking to the bathroom--I tripped and fell!! I think it was possibly the slowest fall in history! I slid on my wedge heels (don't you love being a girl? :) and slowly fell on my side (in my skirt I might add!), while holding Layton in my arms. I might possibly have been able to stabilize myself from the fall, but since I was holding Layton my balance was off. It was a little like ice skating (Michelle Kwan watch out!). It kinda reminded me of tripping in the high school cafeteria, and sliding (on my rear end) right up to the senior lounge with my tray still upright in my hand, fiestada untouched. An oh so embarrassing experience at the time, but so funny now... :)
What was even more amazing is that I fell not five feet behind Jason and he didn't even know it! Okay, granted he has had an ear problem lately where he can't hear very well out of his right ear, but there was a lot of commotion going on! A waiter came by to help me up and see if we were okay and helped me up. Luckily, there wasn't a whole lot of people at the restaurant--but still!! Aren't I too old to fall down like that? I know what you're thinking--I am a little bit on the clumsy side, but I'm telling you I am a magnet for accidents! Anyway, after getting up and seeing if Layton was okay, I calmly took Layton to the bathroom and came back. After telling Jason that I fell down, to his amazement and concern ("Am I in trouble now, because I didn't see you fall?") , I sat back down. What was really amazing is that I really didn't care that I fell in front of people (even while a waitress was looking at me with a little smirk on her face!) Am I now past my childhood insecurity? Not remotely--but I was a little bit that day!
