Falling when you're 40 is NO FUN!

First I have to ask - WHY are there 10 year olds at the skating rink on a Monday morning? Why aren't you in school? As far as I know 10-30 is not a holiday.

So there I am, skating around the rink with my 4 year old when --- WHAM -- I am nailed from behind by said 10 year old, out of control, hockey skater, who was playing tag with his other 2 delinquent friends. The kid hit me at the back of my knees causing me to fall hard, directly on my tailbone. WTF?!! Pissed I tell you, and hurt. The parents that just let their kids go, unsupervised --- the rink that has no skate monitor during the week because it's usually a couple of skating moms and retired folk. I tried to put a brave face on for my horrified daughter... she knew I was hurt, and frankly I am glad it was me and not her. He could have killed her!!! Skating days are not over... I took my Aleve a few hours ago. I put ice on my backside. I still feel it - a lot, so I can't imagine what tomorrow will feel like. Oh well.

At WW last week I was up .2 -- after being down .2 the week before. I figure that eventually I will get my stuff together, and as always, I hope it will be this week. I find it SO hard not to eat at my house. I am not bored - I just want to eat! At least I write it down. It's a good habit to maintain. I want to get it together. I know I need to work harder.

And now I am off to swim with my little one. As far as I know - swimming is not a contact sport.
--- Maybe it will help my poor aching backside!!

Happy Monday!
