Just Biff It!

So as many who know me may know, I really struggle staying on my feet when walking. I guess it comes from my overpronation (the tendency to walk/run on the outside of my feet), but I have been pretty lucky/safe with it so far in my life, although there had been a few close calls. It doesn't help that I do like high shoes

(like these for instance) that I often have trouble staying on my feet in.

Well, this morning, I lost my fall-free streak. I biffed it--right in front of the school! And I almost took out a former student on the way down. It wasn't the least bit graceful, either. Luckily, I just ended up with a few small scrapes and bruises, but my shakes and red face lasted a bit longer. A few other 4th-grade students hurried to my rescue as the things in my arm went sprawling. They were very concerned and I was very embarrassed. Luckily, there were even some parents there to witness my tumble as well.

Anyway, I have just been thinking about it all day and hoped I could provide a chuckle for some today.
