This week is going by so fast. It's great having Tom home. He's been taking Sarah to school every morning so she doesn't have to get up as early.

Yesterday, as I was leaving the house, I fell outside the front door. We've lived in this house over 2 years and there have always been 4 steps down to the driveway, nothing has changed. For some reason I just forgot about the stairs, guess I wanted to see if I could fly - NOT. I landed pretty hard on my left knee and rolled onto my right leg. Thank goodness it was dark outside and no one saw it - not a pretty site I'm sure. I have a huge cherry on my left knee and a big knot on my right leg. To add insult to injury - I got it in my head that the knot in my leg was right over one of the veins and I might get a blood clot. So off to the medical clinic I go but it doesn't open until 8AM so I sit in the parking lot for an hour waiting for it to open. The doctor told me that the only time to worry about blood clot from your legs is if it's at the back of your knee or groin area, otherwise all the other veins in your legs are just superficial. But he made me get a tetanus shot since I couldn't remember the last time I had one. My knee is really sore today.

Tom is shopping for a new car, that's what we'll probably do over the labor day weekend. Not my favorite thing to do but he needs one, his car is about 9 years old.

Sarah is doing great in school. She's stated she wants to take french lessons so we are signing her up, well I'm going to call and get more information. The good news is that they have the lessons at school on Wednesday afternoons so I could just pick her up there after work. We'll see but they say it's easier to learn a foreign language at a younger age. I want her to be at least bi-lingual.
