is it friday yet?

OMG, I fell down half a flight of stairs bringing my kids back from the Book Fair in the library. And do you know what consumed my thoughts as my flailing arms sought purchase on the stairway rail? "Don't say 'shit'! Don't say 'shit'!"*

Later, some kids mentioned that they thought I was dancing. It does seem possible; it was one of those slow-mo, Everyone Loves a Slinky! stumbles where just as you think you've got your footing back, your other foot slips off the step below, and you crash down three more, while everyone just kind of stands there in a sort of frozen amazement.
