Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed...

Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. Today was one of those days.

Preach was working from home, so I decide to try and show him that I don't just lay around all morning in bed. I get up, pour me a cup of coffee, and walk down the stairs. Somehow, I can't even remember how, I slipped and fell down the stairs. My coffee flew out of my hands, my leg was twisted under me, and slid down about 4 stairs with my DH and DS staring open-mouthed at my descent. Oh my gosh, the pain! My leg hurt so bad! And all I could think about was my back. (I had back surgery 2 years ago for a ruptured disc) While sitting on the steps crying, I apparently screamed out "I hate this house!". So Preach helped me to a chair. While I sit there bawling my eyes out, Preach is vigorously scrubbing the floor and walls where my coffee flew, and Prince kept saying over and over "We never should have moved to this house" (he's a little obsessive-compulsive worrier). Princess slept through it all.

Now for the even better part of my day...

So I lounged in bed most of the day. Then while reading, my ear felt funny and I felt inside of it. Immediately I felt FLAPPING WINGS inside of my ear!!!!!! No, I am not kidding. I even told myself that I was crazy and tried to ignore it. It flapped some more. I told myself it was just my hair that had gotten in my ear. (Yeah, stray hairs love to FLAP!) Finally I just couldn't stand the suspense anymore and went and got a Q-tip. I dig around and see a couple of black flecks. I poured some peroxide in my ear, then dug around some more. Sure enough, I found a wing and some unrecogizable gnat parts. Yep, a bug had flown in my ear. The even sadder part is that I never found the second wing. I can only hope that a one-winged gnat flew in there. ::sort::

I keep saying I never should have gotten out of bed this morning....but I guess that bug would have gotten me anyway. :)
