February Prompt #14

14. What was the most awkward thing that happened to you this week?

We live on a busy main road in our town, and the speed limit is 55mph on the road and where we live there are only 3 houses, we are the middle one. Down the road is the tiny little police station and on the other side of our neighbors is a Dollar General....so as you can tell...there is constant traffic and people going by. I went to leave earlier to go pick up my oldest daughter and give her a ride to her house from work right at 4:45..ya know...right when Friday rush hour is starting...so I get my coat on, tell my furbaby Zoey that I will be right back and I open my front door...take a step out and Whoosh...I was doing that "OMG crazy, I'm about to fall and bust my ass HARD" dance..trying to regain my balance so that I did not fall. See, I tend to fall every winter...I thought this was it and I was going down...but nope..my crazy arm waving and legs shaking dance saved me from falling. Thankfully cause I do not think that with the back problems that I am having that I could handle a fall right now! So as I am regaining what's left of my composure and dignity, I look up to see that there was stopped traffic as people were turning into the Dollar store and I am 99% sure that this dude was laughing his ass off in his truck at me....so um yea...Yay I didn't fall but dang I bet I looked super goofy!! What made it even worse was that once I started to walk again I about slipped again walking to my truck! I am sure that had I gone down that there would have been several people entertained on the road by watching me do stupid people tricks for them! Ha Ha It is funny because our house is not right up on the road and we have a big backyard, with only a neighbor on each side, it feels a lot more isolated then I suppose we are. The traffic on the road I thought as first would be so hard to deal with but actually, inside you don't even hear it at all and it is really quiet around our house...so sometimes I forget just how major of a road we are on and the fact that people passing have plenty of chances at catching me doing something dumb like falling!
