Knock the stupid right out of me.

Last night my mother-in-laws best friend Cori dropped by to drop off her old kitchen table. They got a new one and offered us their old one. I heard a knock at the door and she was afraid at first that she had woken us up because the house was dark, but I was just getting the kids to bed. My wife was out with my mom and my sister at the movies watching some cheesy girl singing show called Lalalulu, or something like that. Maybe it was dancey pantsy? It was some musical show with some girl singing. Anyways, I'm sure I wouldn't like it so I didn't miss much. Ok, where was I? Oh yeah, the table. So Cori and her husband Randy dropped off the table and offered to help me take it inside and I just told them to leave it on the front lawn and I will have Emily help me when she got home. I needed to haul the other one outside anyways.
So as soon as they took off I hauled our old one outside and I picked the new one up which was quite the workout. And as Cori had told me the table was very, very solid and very, very heavy. I should have probably waited for Emily to come home and help me take it in, but I love surprising her and I wanted to see her surprised when she walked into the kitchen. I had managed to get the table in through the backdoor, I'm not sure how I did that without denting or scratching it. It was pretty heavy. And then I went back and I proceeded to grab the benches. As I was walking back along the driveway with the first bench it was pretty light compared to the table so I was moving a lot quicker with it and I was trying to hurry and get it inside before Emily got home. In my rush I had the bench held out in front of me and it was the length of my body so I couldn't see around it too well. All of the sudden the leg hit the garage window seal and caused the bench to come to a sudden halt as I was still moving at a pretty quick pace. Needless to say I managed not to drop the bench although I was swaying from side to side from the impact of my face meeting the bench.
It caught me right on the corner of my left eye and about caused me to black out for a minute. Although now dizzy, I still managed to get the bench in the house. I then went slower with the next bench. I managed to get everything in the house and by this time my head was throbbing and I could barely see out of my left eye. The thought came to my mind, "I could have passed out in the driveway with the front door right open and the kids asleep in their beds." Scary thought. I then text Emily that I had a major headache and she text back, "Migraine?" and I replied back, "Let's just say that my eye looks like Buddy's eye. (he has an eye infection right now). She then text back, "That's sad." and I said, "Yes, it is not neat when face meets wood." She then text back, "Huh?"
Emily came home and I still hadn't passed out so I guess I was Ok. She was happily surprised to see our new table and benches. I came out with a headache and a very sore eye. Moral of the story- never try to surprise wife again.
