Newsflash: Blood, Gore, and Horror!...not.
So today was interesting.
And its only 1:00.
I was assigned to river and he was doing his usual stupid things.
We had a sub teacher and everything was perfectly fine, trotting along at a nice, easy pace.
BAMMMM
River flips out, twists one way and bucks the other and then runs out from under me
I go to the side, land on my back.
fucking OW.
So of course I'm in the dirt, god knows what River does after doing that, and there is a collective gasp from the audience. Seriously.
I cannot get comfortable, my back is on fire, and I want to just go to sleep right there and not move.
Cate, the sub, pesters me with questions and tells me to wiggle my toes and asks me what hurts. I keep telling her its my back, and finally she gets that I did not land on my head.
Then Sue comes over and I go into this really happy sort of trance where everything I say is strangely cheerful. So I can walk to the office but still I cannot get comfortable no matter how I stand or sit.
The barn moms are calmly assuring by-standers, and Mrs. Lucas sits with me and we talk about how now I have an excuse for physical therapy.
Sue calls my mom and the first thing she says is 'Its not an emergency' but I know my mother and I ask to talk to her. Apparently she does not want to talk to me, but I ask for the phone anyway.
The fact that i'm still in my happy little daze helps calm my mom down- if I'm not crying she knows it can't be too horrible, but she gets to the barn in less than five minutes anyway.
So now I'm here with ice strapped to my back and I'm desperatley trying to find kate's cellphone # so I can ask her to bring me MY cellphone (which I thought I lost in Harris Teeter yesterday) so I can call people and talk to them and not be lonely.
Ow.
