And that's why we call her grace

We would like to add to our list yet another reason we are grateful to have Shelly in our family. Without her, I would feel like the several hundred dollars we spend on health insurance each month would be wasted money. With her, I think we're actually saving money by having insurance!

She blames it on Chase--says Chase was smiling and cooing at her and that she was concentrating on him. She tries to say it was because of lack of sleep. She tries to blame it on Toledo--saying Toledo is out to get her. I personally think her old age is catching up to her. I think her famous "female multitasking abilities" are not as good as she thinks. I think her athletic prowess leaves a little to be desired.

Regardless of the reason, the short of it is that Shelly found a way to break her foot in the simple act of walking down the steps in our home. Luckily, she was able to fall backwards after the painful insult to her foot and rolled down the remaining steps. This, luckily, meant that Shelly got her first broken bone of her life and Chase did not. She hobbled around on it all day until I got back from work and took a nap, then took over the care of the kids so she could go get X-rays, and, eventually, an air-cast and walking boot.



PS. We really do love and appreciate our Shelly, and, yes, she read this post before it went public. She adds that she may not have approved of one or two of the thoughts. She is wearing a smile, though.
