Let me set the stage... I was chasing Taylor (in my flip-flops and sweats) to stop him from running and barking at our neighbor dog that jumped the fence and was approaching our yard. Suddenly, I tripped over one my strategically placed decorative rocks (they are pretty mossy rocks). I had placed them to stop Taylor from running - yes, a small bit of karma this morning. Anyway, I fell face first (my hands did prevent me from a face plant in the rocks - good thing) scraping my toenail polish off and busting my big toe nail. The good part was the spray bottle I was carrying flew through the air, landing near Taylor causing him to stop running and for the neighbor dog to head back over his fence. What a vision I must have been to anybody looking out the window eating breakfast - I have a feeling it didn't look that graceful. (sigh) I hope this isn't a preview of the rest of the day.
So after getting ready and going down to the kitchen to get some juice - I was sweetly attacked by Taylor and his nutcracker solider toy to play. This was either a peace offering from the morning's events (especially since he knows this is my favorite ballet) or because he thought a distraction would keep me home for the day. I had to leave anyway... but it made the rough start to the morning so much better!
I love my boys - they can always put a smile on my face and brighten even the rockiest day!
