I just ran outside to put out the garbage - I heard the truck coming down the street and realized that we got home so late, I forgot to put it out. I guess we either have nice garbage men, or they’re hoping for a Christmas tip, because they took pity on the crazy woman running outside in her jammies and backed the truck up for me.

On the way back inside, I decided to pick up the garland that’s been hanging out on my porch for a week - it’s loosely wrapped up half of one of the posts, and Jim never got any futher with it. Wishing to avoid the label of “white trash of the neighborhood”, it needed to be put up, or put away. So put away it was…and in my haste, I didn’t notice one of the entry lights above my head and whacked my left temple on it. Reeling back from THAT, and I whacked my right temple on the porch post.

I think it’s time to go back to bed.

Wait, wait… don’t answer that. I don’t wanna know.

Yeah, that’s my life too. And I am always telling my hubby I don’t want to look like the white trash of neighborhood too!

[...] With my head injury keeping me confined inside to “safer” activities (so I can be close to the Advil), I decided that since the kids are all gone, I’d finish wrapping the gifts. What can happen with a pair of scissors and giftwrap? (Don’t answer that!) [...]

[...] My head is feeling better, but my back is KILLING me from wrapping presents yesterday afternoon. 4 hours of bending over my coffee table and the lower back is burning. At least everything is wrapped, so today I can just clean the house and watch my last DVR’ed episode of Heroes. [...]

Sorry that you hurt your head, but I had to laugh. Your description of the happenings really is funny. Hope your head and back are both much better by now.
