I Make My Own Hurdles

We all have hurdles in life. What would we do with out them? I know what I do. I make my own...

Here's my day. One of those great days when there have really been no obstacles that you feel defeated by. They're so far and few between. I got to sleep in, shopped all day, my kids are spending the night at grandmas, the husband is hunting. That's right, the house to myself baby! Good day..

So onto my hurdle story. Playing on the computer, and I hear the sound.. my favorite sound. A text. I jump up and run (ya, run) into the living room. In the middle of the floor is one of my kids little lawn chairs (ya, that's where they go, in the middle of the living room). Remember, I'm in run mode, so instead of going around it, in a split second I decide to hurdle it. Uh huh, 8th grade track.. Right lead leg..

But I missed. And I fell. On my face. Hard.

No worries, I landed safe and secure on what little ego I have. I just laid on the floor for a minute thinking how thrilled I am that no one was home and how I was gonna explain the carpet burn on my chin.

Stupid text anyway.
