Okay, so for those of you who stayed with me.... Go to the picture of the whole family...see the corner hutch? See the couch next to it? Normally there is a large, heavy coffee table where the table is. On Saturday I climbed up on the couch and then on to the arm of the couch to put up a Christmas decoration. Image if you will, me falling straight back from the arm of the couch ( yep, lost my balance....) and hitting the corner of the table in the middle of my back, having the force be so great that it moved the table 8 inches. Then as I slid when the table slid, hit the back of my neck. Really happened, I have the bruises to prove it and my permanently traumatized kids who saw the whole fall. I have been on drugs, that's why my Thanksgiving post is late. Is that just typical of me or what? Good grief.

Sorry we missed it.
happpy thanksgiving.. looks like a great time- minus the diapers.. darn!
I'm coming to yours next year. Ours was loud and everybody fought over the one chocolate pie.
Sorry about Rachel and your fall!! no fun. "2 much food" -- love it!
Wow, I am surprised you were still standing! Everything else sounds great, except poor Rachel! Lots of family fun!
Glad you had such a great holiday. Sorry about the fall.
And I wish I would have thought about inviting Lauren And Skyler over one night this weekend. We could have played games or something. It can be so hard to be away from family. I'll think better next time.
Ouch. I hate it when my furniture attacks me.
I like the set up. Is that the pool table?
I love your title. Very clever. Hope your back/neck are feeling better soon!
Good grief! Will you stop hurting yourself please! Despite the injuries, looks like an amazing Thanksgiving.
Sounds like a great day minus the diapers and especially minus the fall. Ouch! I hope you feel better soon.
Awwww, how's your back? You poor girl. Your dinner looks delicious like always. And no holiday would be the same without Byron doing the dishes!
Ouuuuuuch!!!! Well, at least you didn't bonk your noggin because the post and the title was very clever...I loved the, "give or take a thousand" concerning caloric intake. I am sorry you got hurt. Our Thanksgiving had the whole, "hearing loss because of the children's fun". I want you to go take a nap, okay friend!
I hope Rachel is better, too!
wow girl!
I hope you're okay.
i like how you took a picture of the food from up above. it made the food look more slender.
I am so sorry that you got hurt. That sounds awful! Poor baby.
Oh, can I relate to the mucho diapers! UGH! So sorry you had to deal with that at Thanksgiving, though.
Clever title. Clever wrap up. Sorry about the injury!
It wouldn't be a holiday with some physical injury or someone with bowel problems, right?
You poor girl. I hope your neck is ok. Cute post!
