Once is funny, Twice is silly ...
Anyone remember that line from the Frances books? It was always a favorite saying in my home ...
but today's application is a little different.
Once is funny, twice is silly, three times is a bruised tailbone.
Yeah, apparently I'm getting a little old for going down bumpy hills ... I should've stopped when my tailbone was just a little sore, but I went down one more with Sputnik, making the mistake of using an unpadded sled and going over the little bump. YOUCH!
I'm sure I'll be fine in a day or two. But apparently I'm not 10 anymore. Go figure.
I'll leave you with this picture from last Saturday that I never got around to posting -- which is a much bigger hill and jump than the one that did in my tailbone:
Nice Air!!! you should try out for the x-games--maybe they have a sledding competition. ::giggle::
Posted by: Becky at February 4, 2008 10:39 AMThat looks fun! I hurt my tailbone over a year ago and it still isn't healed. I did it in a very lame way though. Nothing cool like sledding.
Posted by: marcia at February 4, 2008 12:58 PMOuch! I hope you're feeling better soon!
Posted by: Erin at February 4, 2008 3:36 PMYIKES!!! I'm glad you had fun and hope you heal quickly!
Posted by: Chris at February 4, 2008 4:38 PMYep, sledding is way more fun than falling down three steps on your tailbone, like a certain nameless but still tender after three years person did. Do you know how long it has been since I've been sledding? Sigh. I can't even remember. I'm always either pg or have a little baby.
Posted by: Barbie at February 4, 2008 6:10 PMLook at you Kim, looks like fun ... but ouch! Oh that can hurt!
Posted by: Daisy at February 5, 2008 10:43 AMMy mom broke her tailbone falling down stairs and had to have it removed! It's a big joke in our family that when archaeologists find her skeleton, they'll think they've found an evolved human! ;)
But it does hurt something awful. Go to the drugstore and buy a "donut" to sit on until it heals. That helps a LOT.
Posted by: Peggy at February 5, 2008 10:50 AMSorry to hear about the tailbone! My mom bruised her tailbone skiing and that is why we never learned to downhill ski. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Posted by: karen at February 5, 2008 11:48 AMOh no! I hope it heals quickly. We girlies lovvvved watching your YouTube sledding videos the other day. We watched them over and over the other day.
Big hugs to you, Robin
Posted by: Robin at February 5, 2008 6:33 PMOh Kim - thanks for the laugh! Makes my tailbone hurt just looking at the air you got on that sled!
