Well apparently the same applies for socks......
.................choose wisely when you put your socks on in the morning,

or you might end up in the emergency room with a broken foot wearing a smashing pair of John Deere socklettes......
I couldn't have chosen a better time to break a bone in my foot. We are moving in 3 days and the house still needs to be packed up. OH DEERE.
Yesterday Matthew was having one of his completely unreasonable two year old fits, so I was carrying him out to the car. As I came down the back stairs I lost my balance and twisted my ankle and rolled over onto my foot. I was able to set Matthew down uninjured. At first I thought I had just twisted it a bit, until I saw a bone sticking out. I got my mother in law to come and watch the kids and my neighbor drove me up to the hospital. I got Xrays right away but then had to wait 3 hours for the doctor to tell me I had a broken bone. The put a temporary half cast/splint on and made me an apppoinment to see the orthopedic specialist at the cast clinic on Monday. Hopefully they can put some kind of walking cast on right away, because holding a two year olds hand and walking with crutches is just not working for me.
So now I'm left with a house to pack up and two kids running around making more messes than I can clean up. At least I have an excuse to get out of the heaving lifting during the move. As the doctor said, "You need to sit back with a cocktail and watch everyone else move" Doctors orders!!!!

I wish I read this sooner and I could've come and helped you! How did the move go?

oh no! That's really bad timing. Hoping for a speedy recovery
thanks Erica. We are not moving until Saturday. I have my mom and sister coming to help pack so I think we are covered, but I'll let you know if I need anything.
