How Embarressing!

Yesterday I was running a bunch of errands and finishing Christmas shopping for the hubby! Well I had to run to the post office to mail a gift and of course Jaxon was throwing a royal fit in his car seat! So when I pulled into the parking lot I decided instead of carrying the carseat, or pulling out the stroller I would just carry him in. Sounds reasonable right?? Well let me back up by saying I was wearing heels, carrying my bags, a present and baby. As I was shutting the car door with everything in my arms I stepped in a puddle of oil and tried to keep walking carefully... and you can guess what happened... I TOTALLY FELL!! Hard on my knee! The result... Jaxon was totally fine (and looked at me like what the heck is wrong with you mom) the present was fine, just a little hole in the wrapping, all the bags were fine, BUT I bruised my finger and knee, and the saddest part.... RUINED my white heels! :( Huge black scuffs across the whole front!
The sweetest little old lady saw it happen as she was getting in her car and came to help me... but could barely walk and I thought for sure she was gonna fall too! But it was so sweet of her to come offer help! I was so embarressed! UGH! Those are the moments you hope NOBODY is paying attention so you can act like nothing happened! Haha

Dang! Glad you're okay though, that could've been a lot worse! I can't believe you still carry Jaxon in his car seat!
