Granny Overboard!!

This was a day I wish all of my friends had been with me as Mike and I were launching our Bass Tracker for a boat ride on the lake this beautiful Saturday afternoon!!! It would've been a day for free comic relief!! As always, Mike backs the boat in, I scoot over into the driver's seat to pull the trailor out of the water and go park the truck/trailor in the parking lot while Mike is cranking up the boat and heading over to the dock to wait for me to get on board. Well, normally all goes well and good and within a few minutes we are cruising along with the wind in our hair and the water spraying on either side of the boat. However, today it took us a little longer to get to that point, because what does mama do??? As I was putting my foot on the side of the boat to climb in, for some reason as I stepped on the boat with my right foot, the boat began to float to the right and instead of me leaning to the right, I leaned to the left, and, you got it, I ended up going all the way under the water!! While I was under for the millisecond I was, I was thinking, okay, I have Mike's truck keys in my pocket, my phone in the other pocket, my good Clark's flip flops on, a bottle of water in my left hand, and our binoculars in my right hand. AND a frozen shoulder, to boot!!! I kept thinking if I can just get a hold of the dock and throw these things in my hands up there, then I can make sure the keys and my phone don't fall out!! Mike said when I came up I looked petrified, so he started worrying that I might panic and drown. Does he throw me a life jacket?? NO!!! He keeps saying pull up on the dock. I try and then a sharp pain hits me in my right arm, and I remember, my FROZEN shoulder!!! Then I did start to panic!! Mike calmly inches the boat over to me, and tries to pull me up over the side of the boat. He gets me to where my armpits are hanging in the boat, but the rest of me is floating in the water!! By this time, I am laughing my head off, thinking how silly I know I look!!! He is frantically telling me to stop laughing and says I have to help him help me get me in the boat. Finally after a little more adjusting, I'm in and so grateful that I didn't pull anything out of kilter on my body!! Of course, by tomorrow, who knows how my body, and Mike's body, will feel!!! Needless to say, I laughed the whole time we were riding around thinking about how ridiculous we must have looked!! Oh, did I mention that a student I used to teach was in a boat that was launching right after us. I wonder if he saw his fifth grade teacher making a big fool of herself???
