Broken Toe!?

Earlier I was winding the maze of packed boxes and stationary objects in my home.  I did pretty good until I went to take a load of coloreds to the washing machine.  That was when my pinky toe got a little too friendly with my treadmill.  It is very round, oddly shaped, swollen and bruised now.  I have ice on it so it looks a little bit better.

This is my normal pinky toe

And this is why I’m sitting here blogging about it

Matty came in and asked for food.  I told him that I couldn’t hop up at the moment but I’d see if Lauren could.  Fragile X kids are just so sensitive to other’s need that he lightly punched me in the calf and growled at me.

Better

It did get better after Friday morning.  At least it was livable and I wasn’t looking for a big rock to hide under.

This will be a short post because I have a ton of stuff to do today.  We are putting our house on the market Tuesday. FSBO is slow here so we are hoping this will speed it up.  So on top of my normal weekend cleaning I am also decluttering rooms and Kevin is taking stuff to a storage shed we got.  Today I’m tackling the little kids rooms.  At 9 & 12 I really need to quit calling them that.  They will be bigger than me soon. (I’m only 5 foot tall.)

Enjoy your weekend.  I hope someone reading this is resting

Shoulda Been Monday

This Friday is sucking already. 

Lauren is home sick.

Austin wishes he could but we made him go to school.  Apparently, he got hit in the stomach in football and he feels pukey now. 

Matt peed himself once he got to school.  He had no change of clothes.  The nurse called to let me know.  I called Kevin because he was still in town.  He ran home but he locked his keys in our room so he couldn’t get in.  Because of our computers we lock the door.  We don’t want teens surfing the net when we aren’t home.  The school nurse called me back.  Apparently it is picture day at school so they were trying to hurry us.  PICTURE DAY!!  I have two sons at that school and not a one had anything about pictures.  I didn’t get crap from either of them.  Plus it is like the second week of school.  Why the crap are they doing pictures already. 

Please Lord send a buyer to my house so I can get out of this crappy town and away from these stupid schools.

9:21 ~ It still goes.  Kevin looked at his check and the $500 bonus we were counting on for Austin’s birthday this weekend…wasn’t there. So now we are majorly strapped for cash.

And did you see that stocks fell and oil rose.  Putting gas in the van will cost an easy $90 now.

10:23 am ~ Kevin went to the school and changed Matt.  He didn’t tuck himself in when he went to the restroom.  So he peed all over himself.  Ewww!!!  The one GOOD thing of the day is that Kevin ran back in the house to grab a shirt.  No one told us that all of his clothes were nasty.

We did learn that the teacher is out so Matty is stuck with just the aide.  I feel bad for the aid. 

Oh and I have another good thing.  We actually got an SSI payment for Matty ~ $14   This is why I work.

Too much = 0

Do you ever have so much that you could say…that you can’t find anything to say???

That would define this Thursday. 

Hopefully, Friday will have something more concrete to discuss.

Or maybe not

Lolcats WW – Vision Exam

Austin had a physical for football and we learned he needs glasses ASAP!!

Aha! Moment

This is apparently one of those weeks when the “Oh I get it” or the “I wonder why” part of my brain is functioning.

This morning I was brushing Mattys teeth.  I was working on the bottom row and was pondering why this child has such good oral hygiene.  He has only had 1 cavity.  Other than that 1 tooth he has never had a bad dental appointment.  His teeth are in fantastic shape.  But he only brushes once a day.  We are lucky to hit the 1 minute mark.  Far from the 2 minutes that are recommended.  He uses no mouthwash or pre-cleaners. 

Then it hit.  He does use a precleaner of sort.  He drools like a mad man.  There is no way anything gets a chance to stick to his teeth with his saliva glands working triple time.  I get it now. 

Onto Other Realities…

So I chopped off my hair Saturday.  And I’m kinda wondering if my hair just massively sucked before and I wasn’t aware of it.  My husband “really liked the way it looked on me.”  My coworkers “love it.”  One of them even wants to run down and get hers chopped off now.  One oblivious dude even noticed.  I don’t get it.  But now I’m worried.  Have I been walking around for months looking…grotesque!!
