I swear I am constantly stubbing my toes on things. Last night I hit my foot on the door frame really hard. This morning I have a nice lovely purple bruise on my pinky toe. It seems like every time I heal I hurt myself again. Are you a klutz too?

Oh don't get me started on how klutzy I am!! Been that way all my life! And it's not just toes, but my head too and everything in between! :D
Abridged Summary:
Kindergarten - tripped over desk leg, hit head on corner of desk, got 4 stitches
2nd grade - fell in playground, got splinters in elbow- LOL!
9 years old- fell in kitchen, hit head on counter, got 4 stitches
12 years old - walked into a tree, scraped side of my face (this is a re-occurring event. I walk into walls and doors ALL the time! Most recently I was going into our bedroom with something in my hand, the bedroom door swings toward you to open. I got it halfway and then must have had my feet on either side of the door because when I went to go through the opening, walked straight into the door. It had bounced off my feet and back in front of my face. Stupid door. Stupid feet. Stupid bruise on face.)
High School - oh boy... Did dive roll over 3 people in gym class. Landed wrong - fractured a vertebrae; went on bike trip with swim team, front tire went off the path I fell over, skidding across the path. Got 3 bruises on my knee and a nasty scrape on my elbow that took forever to go away because the scab would pull off in the pool; got hit in the head by a 12 foot two-by-four!
That doesn't count the many many scrapes and bruises I got while growing up. At about 12 years old I think I counted 16 scars on one knee and 17 on the other!
I feel for you Lilybug. Stubbed toes don't feel good!

Ah yes, the clutz gene. Most of the women in my family have it. One brother does too. I am terrible about hitting my elbow or stubbing my toes. Once, a big storm came up and I saw a tarp was flying about the yard. I ran outside, yes, bare footed, and chased it down and nailed my big toe on a cross tie. OMG! It wasn't just painful, I split the nail and tore the skin and ouchie! I said a few not so nice words too. I've had trouble with the toe nail growing in ever since. I've nailed the other toes a few times too. It could be worse. I do have a freind that insists her hubby has her on video tripping over her own shadow, lol.

I'm always hurting myself too. My boyfriend is about to ban me from the kitchen! I stub my toes too. I hate it. About a week ago and I accidently kicked the trash can and I don't know how but I ended up with a huge blood blister on the end of my toe! Agh, it hurt SO bad!
