This is one of those stories I should keep to myself... but when have I not shared?
Saturday morning we were getting ready to leave the house and go to lunch with my dad for Mason's Birthday. I was in the bathroom switching out a load of laundry, when I noticed a few things fall back behind the dryer. I hate losing clothes that way, so I pulled the dryer forward a few inches and climbed up on the washer, braced my self with one arm and leaned forward to reach behind the dryer.
Most of you know I am short, vertically challenged, and because of that I have no reach, none. From the top of the dryer to the floor is, I can say with out a doubt, well out of my reach! I leaned and stretched and reached until I lost my balance and fell behind the dryer! Imagine my round little body upside down in a handstand behind the dryer... it was a moment I am glad we did not capture on camera. I tried with out success to get out of my predicament without calling for help.
I decided very quickly that no amount of bending and twisting would save me, so I called for Micah... I had to yell for him 3 times before I could cut through the ESPN anouncers voice, and get a response from my husband. The panic in my voice finally got through to my husband and father. Mic came to the door and tried to open it, but remember I pulled the dryer out and with our realizing it had blocked the door. I started to freak. Mic couldn't get in, he couldn't get a good angle on the door to bust it down with out ramming the dryer into me. I was upside down, in a state of undress, and images of very handsome firemen breaking down the door to save me went swimming through my mind. I bruised my shoulder, hip, back, forearm and heel... but I got out of there before Micah could call for help!
I have promised that I will not retrieve clothing from behind the dryer with out a spotter again!
Laugh and then send chocolate... I am going to need help recovering!!
