Guess who did the stupidest thing yesterday?
As it snowed rather heavily for the first time in AGES, I didn't bother sending the kid to school and once Steve had gone to work, I got dressed and went over to my mate's house up the road. We all decided to take two sledges, five kids and ourselves down to the park to slide down the slope and build a snowman. Having been incapacitated with a bad back for however long, I felt a little better and thought the exercise would do me good and might limber my spine up a bit.
I'll never learn.
Unable to control myself, I took a sledge to the top of a very long alley way that led from some houses down to the slope in the park, sat on it with this kid who wouldn't stop bugging me and off we went (my kid was busy having a tantrum coz snow is cold. Her intellect astounds me daily).
Now some moron chav and his equally idiotic companion decided to jump on their sledge about two feet in front of us as we were going down and so I yelled at them to move. Then, the annoying child I was with decided she wanted to get off, so she made a dive for it, the chavs swerved off course and I went head first into a fence. Did that deter me? No, because I am an idiot.
Instead, I went even higher up the alley this time, set off on my own and within about 30 seconds had come off, flipped over in an action movie stylee and crashed, back first this time, into a tree. I am now worse off than when I started and Steve has to literally help me do everything...it's like being a million years old...
So if I'm not online for large chunks of time it's coz I'm about as mobile as a mountain.
Some good news though - I managed to run over that annoying child on my way down...always a silver lining, people, never forget that
