Oh my Toe!!!!
Posted by: lisa0069 on: July 28, 2009
OMG I am such a clutz, always have been always will be. Should probably start a section in here just for that stuff.
I fold a quilt plop it in the middle of the living room floor for the time being. Walk away come back into the living room and snag my pinkie toe on a folded corner, felt like I kicked something very hard. Nothing there so musta pulled it on the quilt. Rest it for the night, hubby makes sure I can wiggle it and I can. I mean if it is broken what are they gonna do, nothing, it is a baby pinkie toe.
Wake up this morning and it is swollen (well was swollen last night) black, purple, red and a little yellow. OMG it hurts so bad it is not even funny. Yet I can grab it and wiggle it, pinch it and it does not hurt that bad so musta spranged my baby toe.
Only me could do that. Will add a pic. ones I can find the cord for the camera.

My name is Lisa, I am a stay at home mom of a 16 year old and 8 year old boys. I have been a stay at home mom for the last 8 years. Work for a few years before that and was a SAHM for 2 years back then and then worked again LOL. Now it is permanent unless something changes and I have to go back to work.
I am married to a former Marine. Retired after 20 years in the Marine Corps. We live in N. VA for now where he works for the Govt. for now.
I try to save us a little money here and there doing good deals at CVS, couponing, and doing as much home cooking as possible (that is always an adventure).
We are trying to eat less processed for and more Natural Foods.
Guess that is enough for now.
Thanks for having a look here.
