Well today the girls and I got out alright and even had some grainy pancakes(sprinkles and honey on theirs of course), but I'm definitely signing Sarah up for the bus. The parking at her school is insane! Julia is still doing well with school; today she said "Mom pick me up at 1 and not 5;because if you pick me up at 5, I will cry."; she surprises me when she says things like that. Julia has her first school field trip tomorrow and they are going to the art museum for some culture. Sarahs' teacher has an award system for the kids and Sarah was awarded a token for being a door helper, Sarah is also working on her class cheers for her school fun run;very exciting.
The morning went well and the girls are doing great but after I finish closing up a Brokers Open house, about an hour before I pick up the girls, I do something very stupid....
I'm going down the stairs not paying attention and thought I was on the last step but I was on the second to last step and WHAM! I took a two step drop on my ankle and it twisted to the side. I was really panicked;first I started sweating profusely, then I heard a ringing in my ears, and then i felt like I was about to throw up. This happened right outside the office so I hobbled in and once Josephine, a co-worker noticed, she doctored me up and fed me;then she rallied some other ladies up and they were all ready to help me pick the girls up and take us home. Thank God I got a hold of my mom because it would have been tough for me to hobble up the stairs to get Julia and to Sarahs' class too since the ladies weren't authorized to pick them up. Mom was really great, she picked the girls up and took them out so I could relax,Dad was really great too; he iced my ankle up and got Buca de beppo carry out. Dan called and asked if there was anything I needed and what I needed was chocolate so he brought me chocolate on the way home and the girls have been really sweet, they tell me that they hope I get better;Sarah kissed my foot and Julia got me a glass of water and cleaned fruit for us to share. A girl could get use to this.

You poor thing! Did you get x-rays? Hope it isn't fractured. But man even a badly sprained ankle can hurt more than just about anything! Be sure to get it wrapped properly and stay off of it! Also, keep it up above your heart to keep the swelling down. I hope you get better soon!
Oh my gosh Beth I could feel your pain reading that. I agree with Angie x-rays are needed. And MORE CHOCOLATE!!!! LOL!
I should get X-rays, but we don't have insurance so I'm worried it will be a fortune. I'm definitely icing it and keeping it elevated. I don't think it's fractured because I can move it to the sides a little with out much pain; my ankle is just really swollen, it looks like about the size of a ping pong ball. I could definitely eat some more chocolate though:)! If it's not better in a couple days I'll have to get X-rays and bight the big one.
