Call me Grace.

I think I could be one of the most accident prone people that I have ever encountered. I have sprained, broken, twisted, torn or otherwise injured just about every bone in my body at least once, usually doing something stupid harmless stemming from the fact that Jacob and I are endlessly competitive with one another. I don't know why this is- he can do just about everything better, stronger or faster than I can, but I just can't accept that. One day I will prevail not only the winner- but the injury free winner, and I will rub it in his face for all eternity. (Hey honey, nice halo. Remember that time....)

But I digress... I am clumsy as all get out to boot. For example- today, while groping around in the dark at my Momma's house, I kicked a chair leg and broke my toe. Again. I have broken this toe before putting on a pair of shoes saving 24 boy scouts from an early demise by lifting a boulder off of their rental van. That's just the caliber of super hero I am. I don't even bother getting worked up about it anymore- I pull the out the man attitude "it's just a sprain, walk it off" with everyone except mom and Jacob, who I can be honest with and say "CRIPES THAT HURTS LIKE THE DICKENS." And it does. So if you see me coming, move all the breakables. I'm a walking disaster area!

PS- Two more days of work to go!
