real life wednesday: Clumsy

Wednesday, October 10, 2012 7 Comments

So, let’s get real for Real Life Wednesday, I mean really real!

I, Melissa, do confess…I am a total klutz.

True story, I broke my foot in my sleep once.  What’s that you say, crazy lady?

Yep, broke the foot in the sleep.  How does one break their foot in their sleep?





Here’s how it all went down…I have no stinking idea!

Let me start off with telling you I also sleep walk & sleep talk (that’s a whole other RLW post, my siblings should really guest post for that one – hahaha ;).  So, one morning I woke up lying on my bedroom floor by my bedroom door curled up in the fetal position and my foot hurt, I mean REALLY hurt.  I went to the ER & it was broken…what???  How did I break my foot in my sleep?

Did I run out in front of traffic?

Did I try to kick my door open (i.e. laying by the door)?

Was I in a ninja fight?

Was I stepped on by an elephant?

Who knows, I’ll never know, unless I find it on YouTube one day – HA!

So, back to the point at hand.  I’m a klutz.  Need proof?  Here’s a photo montage of all my current visible scars (not including my appendix & gallbladder removal scars – because those were not due to my clumsiness) & war wounds (a war with myself –HA!).

  1. burn scar on my right arm from stirring a pot
  2. surgery scar on my back from having back surgery
  3. bruise on my left arm from…dunno?
  4. scar on my right foot from falling down a ravine
  5. cut on my left leg from walking into the open dishwasher
  6. bruise on my right thigh from constantly walking into the corner of my side of the bed
  7. cut on left pointer finger…don’t know either, it just appeared?

What’s your most creative theory?  How do you think I broke my foot in my sleep – do tell!

xx ♥ m

    oh ouch! that is some sleep walking trip!

    I am a sleep walker too.. really bad as a child, not so much now… but my middle child looks like he is going to be a keen sleep walker too. The other night he got up, did a puzzle and when I disturbed him he got upset.. still alseep I sat him on my lap and he pee-ed all over me! Ah the joys!

      oh my goodness Kate – THAT is hilarious! He did a puzzle? Well, I guess if I can break my foot anything is possible…next he’ll be doing some complex math problem…”wait a second mom I’m figuring out the space time continuum” :) I think mine (SW & ST) is waning too…haven’t woken myself up in a while talking or walking…hehee!

    I am so impressed you did not wake up.

    Clearly though you were fighting off Zombies to stop the start of the Zombie Apocalypse.

    Hello fellow sleep walker and talker.

    I would love to read that post.

    My siblings share funny stories too. Stories I was a part of but can’t remember. My hubby, however, finds my sleeping antics completely frustrating.

These Cookie Butter Muddy Buddies are soooooo yumm These Cookie Butter Muddy Buddies are soooooo yummy - I know cause I may have snuck a chunk fresh from the bag 😜 #shhhhdonttell 

I completely forgot that I put this recipe up (on the ol’ blog) forever ago & was reminded of it today. The kids wanted to try a bag of muddy buddies from Wawa & I said fresh muddy buddies are soooo much better… and fresh warm muddy buddies with @traderjoes #cookiebutter is to die for.  #youhavetotrythis #youwontregretit #traderjoesmusthaves

As a creative, I often forget to take the time to just intentionally sit and draw, just to draw, with no clear path in mind.  To let the pen lead me in a direction. 

I don’t know who she is… she was just in my head ✍🏻🌼🌸
{V said she looks like if Frida had a daughter} 🤔😆🤷🏼‍♀️

It felt good tho - really really good - to just draw.

✔️Me Time Goal: be more intentional with loose, process based, no rules, creative time.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
