Right there with you. Dropping F bombs is completely warranted in this situation.
What day is her surgery and do you need me to watch Robbie?
~C
Thanks everybody. We’re going to do warm compresses for now, and then show it to her doctor next week at the pre-op appointment.
Redheadjazzwriterchick – It’s on Aug. 5. My parents are going to watch Robbie at our house, but thanks for offering.
Yay! Goonies reference!
And I vote Absolutely on finding that moldy bag of cheetos.
Sloth fist bump!
Do cheetos actually mold? Ever?
Cute chair, though. What are you reading, btw? I need something new.
Good question. I bet they’d mold eventually, but it might take a really, really long time.
I’ve been working on the same book forever — not because it sucks, but because I haven’t been doing a lot of reading. (Damn Plants Vs. Zombies.) It’s called “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” and it’s a nonfiction book about how this woman’s cancer cells have been used to revolutionize medicine, but her family never saw any benefit. It’s more interesting than it sounds.
I saw her family on some talk show. They said that John Hopkins had never acknowledged or thanked the family. Guess they wouln’t since they took her cells and used them without her knowledge. Also of note is the fact that her children can’t afford health insurance.
Well, obviously not. Peter Parker and Harry Potter are both way too whiney to get along.
And it’s Pam for the win!
Yeah, I heard about the book on NPR. I have it requested at the library.
Hahaha! When your blog title came up on my Blogher ticker thingy I had to click on in…super awesome quote! Glad I did, too!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it.
I bet this idea of the two dudes in a graphic novel would sell!
so sorry to hear woman. Hope she gets better fast!
Thanks Holly.
Well I personally believe Harry Potter would kick Spidey’s ass anyday. Spidey’s only got one set of tricks. He can’t touch H Pot, yo!
That’s true, but Harry only ever disarms people in combat. How do you disarm Spider-Man? His webs are built-in.
Get thee a big bouncy call. When Bill and I are frustrated with the kids we ask if they want to play- they laugh so hard when it bounces off their heads and ohhhh is it cathartic for us.
Also? Money woes suck. (Especially when you’re mostly riding on a single income.) August is a whopper of a money suck for us so I feel you.
Hey, it’s only money! See you tonight.
Hang in there!
Thanks again for having me over last night. Was good to share in the crap. You and Rob are wonderful folks and I’m so glad to have you two in my life. I’m here anytime you need me.
Sorry you’re feeling kicked. I’ve been feeling kind of kicked myself. At least it makes the times when you don’t feel kicked all the more sweet. Plus it’s a good excuse to polish off a bowl of brownie batter….
Ha. It’s okay…you’re good at other things like writing, cooking, baking, cleaning up, changing diapers…keeping Kaylee alive and not throwing her out to wild badgers in the middle of the night…just chalk up the “not so good at legos thing” to the growing list of things you can hold against her when she’s a teenager.
Hang in there, Kaylee will soon be older and want bigger things and Robbie will move into her spot. Sounds like both psuedos have a mess that will take more than a beer to work out. Hope they can.
I thought about you guys yesterday. Glad things went as well as they could and wish Kaylee a speedy recovery!
Thank you! She was already ordering us around in a bunch of complex games yesterday afternoon, so I think she’s well on her way.
So glad things went well. I have had to play nurse to the S.O. after two different surgeries. I think he reverted to a toddler during that time, so I (sort of) understand.
Ohhh, little girl!
I can imagine this was trying experience for baby AND mama.
May a speedy recovery come her way!
I cannot tell you how many times I got dysentery while playing this game. Also, Here lies Poop Face? BEST EVER.
Yep, some months are just better done and over with. It’s nice you both learned so much in such a short period, though! I’m glad her eye is better and it was all worth it.
That sharp glare of hers is priceless. I have received it many times.
Before seeing the photo of you engaged in a traffic violation I had always been suspicious. I couldn’t imagine the police being able to capture a very good image of a driver zooming by a camera. That picture is a classic and there was no doubt that is was you. If you ever come across it, be sure and post it on you blog or Facebook.
I love, love, love that last photo! What a happy little dude … which makes it okay that he scratches and claws at your face, right!?
Yes, it is ok, definitely. As long as I’ve recently clipped his fingernails.
I want that cake, for it is awesome.
And I’m a little jealous you get to watch Lost for the first time. It will definitely help not having to wait months and months between seasons. I watched it from the beginning but didn’t turn into a geeky superfan until the season 3 finale.
To be honest, we lost a little steam watching the second season, but I hear it gets better again. I am a huge fan of Netflix instant streaming, because now if I want to I can spend a whole week watching all of Lost without sleeping at all.
That cake is awesome.
I was going to make some ridiculous remark and *pretend* it was a spoiler. But with “Lost,” nothing seems out of the realm of possibility. My lips are sealed.
Thank you! And you’re right — I probably wouldn’t know the difference. You wouldn’t want to accidentally make me hate you.
Heh, I had the same thought Pam. What could I say that would sound too outrageous to be true? Nothing that really couldn’t be true. And I haven’t seen the final season myself.
Fantastic cake, Heather! You should make some stick on Dharma labels for the pop and beer at the party, too.
Thank you! If it were an actual party, I would totally do that. Most likely, my family will just be sitting around on the couch while Kaylee forces us all to watch Toy Story 2. Again.
Damn, girl, you showing off some mad steez there!
I had to google “steez.” Thank you! (And thank you, Urban Dictionary.)
Happy birthday! Yum.
Thank you!
Ha! I can’t imagine why you want a part-time job. Adult conversations? Maybe?
Just get to Texas by way of Minnesota! You can borrow our seasons 3-5 of Lost and I’m SURE the kids won’t mind the extra 37 hours it would add to the drive. Maybe the goo from your head exploding might bother them but I’m here to tell you that Lost is totally worth it
.
Also, the packing up a baby and all their stuff is a ridiculous task. We DO have to borrow a trailer (and my in-laws Durango) when we go on vacation with the kids. This year was the first year since K was born that we had foot room!
Good luck!
Hmm, an extra 37 hours could only mean one thing (on the return trip) — Lost marathon on the portable DVD player!
Oh, I remember those days! It seems like the smaller the child, the more support equipment you need to pack. Good Luck!
And check out used DVDs for season 3.
Thanks! My husband signed us up for Hulu Plus, which has all the episodes from all six seasons, so we’re going to see how that goes.
Come on, you have five days. You can do it!
Five days during which I’ll be traveling. :/
Whew! Does NOT sound like fun! But try to have fun … and when you return, you can borrow my season 3 … and 4 … and 5 … and 6. I got the complete collection yesterday! Yeah!! I’ll pass along season 3 when you return.
)
Woohoo! We might try watching it on Hulu Plus (which goes through the TV) until the next time I see you. The DVDs are definitely more tempting than Hulu, since they don’t have commercials.
Good luck today!
Glad to hear you didn’t pee your pants. Sounds like things are going okay … hope they do get a bit more exciting for you. If nothing else, you got some nice new clothes out of the venture! Good luck getting the wastebasket!
Thanks. I’m glad I didn’t pee my pants, too.
Diet coke makes me feel like I’m on crack. AND I love it.
Good luck on your new/old job. Places where you have to where nice clothes are way overrated…..ZOMBIE!
I don’t actually have to wear really nice clothes, it turns out. I just noticed today that most people in my department wear jeans. But I bought the clothes, and I’m going to wear them, damn it.
you will do fine. i will loan you my tee shirt with an armadillo and lone star beer logo on it. that should definitely class up the place.
That would be PERFECT.
And you can zombie up the joint with some (not so) discreetly placed toys and/or pics. Just keep telling yourself, it’s not reality, it’s just a job.
Hmm. Good idea. I need to buy a bunch of those little plastic B movie victims.
I so don’t miss that air conditioning, even if my home office gets a little hot. And exactly what kind of pants were these? Zipper, snap, clasp or padlock?
They were that flat hook-and-eye-type clasp you see on a lot of dress pants, but I suspect there was also a tiny padlock.
you can have my writer’s clock if you want, seriously.
I do still want that clock, but I want it for my office.
Or you could just hang it with no glass and always have a story to tell. The best decor is decor with character and a story. But whatever clock you hang, you might want to use a bigger nail … possibly an anchor, too.
P
It didn’t actually pull the nail out of the wall, it just sort of fell off the nail. We hung it back up and it stayed just fine, maybe because it’s lighter without the glass.
LOL! Sorry about the clock. I am somewhat of a decorating dummy myself.
It’s good to know I’m not alone.
we will give his head a good soaking in the pool tomorrow and see if that lightens up the bruises and brings down the swelling.
Good idea.
