Hello Waiter, I'd like a slice of Jessica please?

Yes, yes... I have been sliced up like the fixins for a Submarina sandwich.

Well...a little.

Sliced enough for a few stitches counts, right?

Well, here's the real story: I broke a glass a few days ago and put it in the trash. I took that trash out today and the glass had its vengeance on me for throwing it away. Sigh... 4 or 5 stitches and a tetanus shot later and here I am!

And, I thought you'd want to see my battle wound.


Here I am just after arriving. They're taking all my vitals to make sure I'm alive. As if walking into the room didn't tip them off. lol

Here's a close up of my leg. Mikey's mom came over to watch the kids while we were gone, and she brought a plethora of supplies and bandaged me all up for my journey.

Here's a close up. **Shudders**

"Hello! Nice to meet you! I am the human pin-cushion!"

All sewn up and ready to go! Looks like a caterpillar or something.

So that was my excitement for the day! Oh...they put me on Antibiotics just in case... the pill is ENORMOUS! it is about an inch long, and a half an inch wide! it is a hard pill to swallow.

ANYWAY, presents, money, baked goods, salty snacks.... all are welcome as condolences for my suffering. I also accept indentured servitude. Appointments can be made with the receptionist in the lobby. I look forward to your visit.

HA!

this pic is so stinkin funny!

I like the Dorothy pic of Liz that I put in the last post, but I found this pic and it is so stinkin funny! So I thought I'd share!

[Picture removed per face owner's request]

Yeah I'm sure Liz will love that I shared it...but hey, a picture's worth a thousand words, right? How many words come to your mind? What are they?

hehe

Ahh Birthdays!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Lizzy, Gwenny, Mikey, Mommy and Abby! Happy Birthday to you!!!!

STUPID.

Everything is stupid today.
Stupid stale pretzels that I wanted to eat but now are gross.
Stupid mono that my husband has, making me into a sick dude's servant and a single mom for the whole summer.
Stupid babysitter to remain nameless that didn't feed my kid dinner or change her diaper even after I reminded them to.
Stupid stinky greasy stink all over me from eating dinner at Benihana which was only ok.
Stupid b**chy girls sitting next to us at Benihana that made it even less only ok.
Stupid airfare being a zillion dollars so I can't go to a friend's funeral on Tuesday.
Stupid month of july with month-long jury duty and a sick husband in it, so we can't go on vacation.
Stupid month of august with a million things to do in it, so we can't go on vacation.
Stupid Gwen's school starting August 23, instead of Labor Day so we can't go on vacation after all the stuff to do in august.
Stupid unfolded laundry.
Stupid expensive cat food for cats that aren't even my pets.
Stupid mess that no one in the house cleans up that I keep tripping over.
Stupid trash that no one takes out EVER. And even if I take it out, somehow it's always full right away again.
Stupid dishes that i am always washing but the sink is always full.

ARGH! Stupid everything.

Oh Wow.... this is pathetic.

So, I'm sitting here at the computer, and I noticed that under my armpits and extending across my chest really hurts! Thought about possible reasons why..... Oh, right, I did 15 girl style push ups last night. What a wimp!

I really need to work on getting in shape. I am skinny, but that doesn't mean I'm healthy or in shape.

I have no idea what to do. I think I'm gonna start taking walks and stuff. There's just not a whole lot I can do as far as sports or anything... I CAN do Yoga, and that tones and lengthens...

Hmmm....

Anyway, I am trying really hard to eat better, but we'll see. I just feel like a grody sloth. And my arm pits hurt from girl push ups and that is so SO lame.

Any suggestions from the peanut gallery?

Need to sell some cloth training pants - SOLD! :)

Anyone know anyone that might be interested?

Description:
I have 6 new happy heinys side snap, pocket trainers and 12 new large microfiber inserts. They have never been washed or worn.
Size small (24-35 lbs)Prints:CowKelly Green solidBrown with pink hibiscusBlue with white butterflies and yellow polka dotsNeon multi-color with flowerslight green base with monkeys/ bananas pattern
The inserts are all white, from the same lot.

Both sides have a row of three snaps for ease in messy clean ups and to make stuffing in the inserts easier.
Makes it easy for potty training as they can pull up and down with the elastic waistband.
Quick on and off. The inside is custom milled fleece and there is an outer PUL layer to hold in wetness.
Happy Heinys Trainers have been child tested and last 12+ hours overnight with absolutely no wicking for most children.
They have a 100% poly laminated outer layer and work wonderfully for potty learners who still need protection overnight.

$110 for the whole lot ($4 discount over buying one at a time), or $19 each set (one trainer and 2 inserts)

My Kid is almost 10.

Wowee does that make me feel old.
