On Halloween night while out trick or treating with my kids Abby our dog tripped me with her leash. If that wasn’t bad enough I was carrying Aly at the time in her Moby wrap on my chest. So when I tripped I sort of rolled into the fall in order to protect Aly from being squished. I was successful and Aly was startled but completely unharmed. I on the other hand was not as lucky. It turns out I sprained my ankle and the x-rays show a possible chip fracture. There isn’t enough damage to need a cast but there is a LOT of pain. The next afternoon my neighbor across the street found out what had happened and offered to take Cameron to school in the mornings (she has a daughter 1 year older then Cam). I am so thankful for her help. With out it I doubt Cam would have gotten to school on time at all this week. It is hard on a good day to get all the kids ready in time to get Cam to school on time but this week I think it would have been near impossible to do while limping around.
The help from my neighbor has really made me think and wonder if there is something more I could be doing to help someone else in need. So I have decided to try and be more aware of others and to try and do more “good deeds” to help other people.
