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.

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
