Oh man... Here I sit with an icy hot patch on my shoulder.

Why, you may ask?

Because for some reason I thought I could still do cartwheels LOL turns out... I can't :p

Lol I hear ya. These things were so much easier when I was a kid.

Another example... We went to a place here filled with various bounce houses. The kids were zooming through them like nothing while me and the other parents were falling all over the place and hudfing and puffing trying to get through it lol

Ha! I couldn't turn a decent cartwheel when I was young - I know better than to try it now! Kudos (and another ice pack) for trying it!

On my birthday last year (with the help of liquid courage) I believed I could still do the splits. I also believed I could do them quickly and on concrete floor. I went down hard on my left thumb. To this day, nearly a year later, it hurts pretty good to put any pressure on it (like if I were to try to crack my knuckles, I would not try with that thumb) and it no longer moves as freely as my other thumb. Whoops!

I have never been able to do a cart wheel. I remember complaining about my inability to do so when I was in my teens and my 70 year old grandmother goes 'they are easy' and lands a prefect cartwheel:yikes:. I hope I age half as well as her!

I can still do one, but now I make sure my shirt is tucked in so my belly doesn't hang out.
I can still do a hand stand and a head stand too.

Show-off!! ;) If I tried a handstand, I could probably land on my head - would that count as a headstand?

Great! You can hand me my award as they cart me off to the ER. :rofl1:
HAHAHA that's what I said to Brian this morning when we were leaving for Church. I forgot something in the house and was running up the drive way and he said "Slow down woman before you hurt yourself" I asked "Why? you don't feel like swinging by the hospital on the way to church this morning?" :rofl1:
