Clear to go back to work!

Next week! LOL Can't WAIT! Dang, am I sick or something? No, just broke....and going a bit stir crazy.

Saw the surgeon today; 4 weeks post-op. He wanted to see me off it for another 4 weeks! HUH? I think he could tell by the look of "are you f__king kidding me?" on my face that it wasn't going to work for me. He compromised and said I can go back starting next week but only 4 hours a day. There's still a bunch of healing to be done and I have 2 toes that are numb (like I care) so he's a bit concerned. Will go back in another 4 weeks and hopefully everything will be fine.

The fun part? I get to wear my boot another 4 weeks! Jealous? I know....I have an extra for anyone who would like to make such a fashion statement.

Nothing else new. Jamie will be home saturday....YAY. The day after Halloween; which LittleE just realized today. She's sad about daddy missing her being Cinderella. She's been sick the last 2-3 days. YUCKY nose (gross) and fever. So she's not sleeping well....I'm tired! and so is she, lol.

Alrighty, have to go get the oldest from basketball.....have a great night!

boring blog....still...

Nothing new around here. Same ole, same ole. One week down, one more to go!

Have a great weekend.

Nine words women use....MEN: pay attention

I received this today from Kimberly and KNEW I had to put it on here. Just hoping that any man that reads this will memorize it....this knowledge will help you immensely in the future.

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something,and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint . Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true,unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bringon a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement,meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Ladies? Am I right? You know it!

Only in VT

See the white house on the right? Our house is directly across the road from it.....like the construction sign?

The sexiness, that is ME....at the moment.

So I have a gimp foot, but I've got HOT nails! LOL Had them done yesterday....as a hopeful pick-me-up.....it worked, I'm loving them. Weird that fingernails could pick me up like that.....just shows what a weirdo I am. (oh, and yes I'm still in my pj pants....not much else fits over that leg! ha!)

Nothing new on this front really. Jamie's gone all weekend, and I've been dreading it....actually making myself sick about it....but so far so good. It's 10:40am and I'm ok! phew! Next will be the 2 weeks stint on my own. Jamie's home this week, then gone for 2 weeks. I'm scared to DEATH. I just have a hard time doing ANYTHING and it's making me mad and frustrated. I CAN'T do what the Drs say and keep off this foot when I'm on my own with the kids. It just isn't possible. So I'll do the best I can and pray that I don't ruin anything in there....it's all I can do and need to stop worrying about it.

It's a beautiful fall day here in VT and I'd love to take the kiddos to an orchard and get some pumpkins.....guess that's out this year....we'll do it next year for sure (if no one's on crutches). I LOVE this time of year! Halloween is my fave and I have tons of decorations in the basement....maybe I can get one of the kiddos down there to get them for me....that'd be fun!

Puppies....yikes! It's been ups and downs, but they're doing very well. FINALLY 98% potty trainined....VERY few accidents, if any now which is great. They're growing so much and SO fast. They are presently at the "I'm all legs and big feet" stages and very clumsy....funny. Both are love bugs and crave attention. I'll try to get some pics soon and post them.

Have a great day and weekend my friends! Run and skip and play for me! K? thanks!

Two posts in one day?!

WHOA! Cool huh?

Not really. Just wanted to update you all on my dr. appointment today. NOT good.....not good at all. Dammit. They didn't like what they saw, and I admitted I'd been putting some weight on it. I told them I'm a freak of nature on crutches and am going to hurt myself and others! They didn't care. I'm supposed to be NON-weight bearing for 4 weeks and I'm just out a week from surgery today.

IF I continue putting weight on it, the repairs they made will be ruined and it'll have to be done again. NOOOOOOOOOOO I can't go through this again. So I'm going to be good....but it's so hard. I HATE HATE HATE asking people to do things for me; I think they hate it when I do, but I can't get a glass of water AND carry it to my chair on crutches.....say nothing about laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc, etc.....what am I going to do?! Jamie leaves on the 18th for 2 weeks....I want to go with him! I'm going crazy sitting in this house all damn day.

I asked about work; was hoping to go back at least part time maybe next week. Nope, she said "NO work until further notice, probably after your appointment on the 27th" Nice, tell that to my employer (they're NOT going to be happy, though I warned them weeks ago it might be a possibility) and someone PLEASE explain to the bill collectors....K? Thanks.

SO, so much for puttering around town while I was out and about.....putting NO weight on my foot makes that impossible for me. I know other people do it, but seriously, I was worried I wasn't going to get to the car. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Going to sit in the recliner and take a nap....maybe.....since I've been up since 3am.....we'll see.

I'm loved!!

YAYYYYYYYYYY! My friend Caren of citymommacountrymomma.blogspot.com tagged me and gave me an award.... "I heart your blog" award AND tagged me to list 6 random facts about myself.

That's not an easy feat for me....I think the few of you that do read my blog, know everything (the good-the bad-the ugly) about me. LOL

1. I hate snakes. Caren prolly knows the medical term for it....but it's almost debilitating. I can't breathe, my heart races, I'm a pile of mush. Even to see them on TV makes my heart skip a beat and I close my eyes real quick.

2. Like someone else I know, the idea of a new tattoo is STUCK in my head and I can't get it out. Time to get that puppy done!

3. I have an ear fetish.....HAHA. Just ask my husband. Even when he just gets home from work and wants a kiss, I HAVE to touch his ear....just a touch, then I'm good.....but don't come near me for a snuggle thinking I'm not going to cop a feel.....of an EAR! What a freak I am.

4. I'm addicted to TV. Especially Reality shows....Survivor, Amazing Race, Big Brother, Project Runway....LOVE them....and will NOT miss an episode. Oh, and Army Wives.....totally addicted. And you better believe the DVR is set to record ALL episodes of the CSI's (all 3), NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, Heroes....oh heck, there's more....but you get the idea.

5. (this is getting hard) ummmm, lets see....I'm very picky about pens. If I find a pen that writes the way I like, don't touch it!! Even at work, my pen will be out all day, but when my shift's done, I have a special hiding spot so the next shift doesn't use/lose it!

6. I can't think of anything!! hmmmm, well, I love my morning coffee, but will NOT have it if I'm out of creamer....and it HAS to be Coffee Mate either Hazelnut or French Vanilla.

That's it!

Ok, I'm supposed to pass this award on to 6 other bloggers that I love. Well, I don't HAVE that many!! LOL The couple I do watch have already been given this award and been tagged.

That was fun.....what am I up to today?

Finally going back to the surgeon and getting this damned cast off....hopefully! It's driving me nuts! So I have that appointment at 10:15am and then it all depends on how the ankle's feeling. If it's doing ok, and I'm in the walking boot, I may stop and get some groceries....if not, it's back home to the recliner for me.

Other than that, nothing planned after the kiddos get home this afternoon....homework-dinner-baths-bed-laundry-dishes-etc, etc etc.

FUN FUN!

Yeah, I'm still here....

......and OH-SO-BORED!

Surgery went fine. Not supposed to be putting any weight on it, but seriously, if it doesn't scream when I touch it to the floor, do you really think I'm not going to hobble around? when I'm such a freak on crutches?

It's a little achy here and there, but all in all, better than I thought. Of course, I'm still in a cast....that could have something to do with it. Hopefully that will come off tomorrow at morning dr. appointment.

Ok, for the first few days, I was an emotional mess. Sometimes I struggle with depression, anxiety, etc....but it doesn't last long.....this time it was at least 3 days! I cried at the drop of a hat; yelled just as quickly; anxiety would hit my like a train and I couldn't breathe. Now it's gone.....don't get me wrong, I'm SO happy to be past it, but WTF was THAT all about?


Now I'm just bored-bored-bored! I REALLY should be enjoying the quiet of the house during the day when the kiddos are gone.....am I? Hell no, this sucks! I want to crawl out of my own skin!

K, nuff bitchin (even though this IS a bitchin' blog) Off to warm up the recliner again....yeee haaaa.
