Quirky Mom, Quirky Family
Summer is here! My husband commented yesterday that we are going to run ourselves ragged keeping the kids entertained this summer. I commented that they will have awesome summer memories when they get older of their parents hanging out with them. I think both statements are right! [Read more...]
I had my husband draw this for me sometime last year… the year before? I can’t remember. Anyway, I had him draw it because I was having trouble drawing a foot to look the right way and hey, he draws every day. More than that, I wanted it because for probably half my life now I’ve had people tell me how strong I am, how they don’t know if they could do “it” (whatever “it” it happens to be at the time) if “it” were happening to them, you know, you’ve heard it before.

So…. I made a deal with Michael that we can go into the shop every fourth Monday and work on me. See, I have no munchkins at home to look after during the day anymore. Except I had stupidly decided that freaking Labour Day was my first Monday, in which all of my munchkins were home. Then he worked the next Sunday and I don’t like making asking him to go in on the day after he worked. I just don’t think it’s fair to ask him to work on his only day off. So this is the first Monday since Labour Day that he didn’t work the day before. Except he did work yesterday (he wasn’t supposed to) but he took off next Sunday because we’ll be out of town. That’s a mouthful lol
He did basically my entire lower arm (the actual alley part of the piece), a bit on the inside mid-arm and the pins up on the outside under my elbow. Photos will come later after I unbandage and wash up. It took… two hours? I dunno. I wasn’t paying attention. We had to clean up a little before 11, so less than 2 hours really. Maybe 1.5 lol He is headed to Miami to take his yearly cross-contam class and will hopefully be home before I have to take Dor to the ortho.
I am sooooo happy. You have no idea.
Family issues suck.
My ear is still irritated. I got some tea tree to put on it last night. I need to keep it up. Wish I could wear contacts – I think it’s an easy fix if I could.
Windshield replaced. We need to test the SunPass. Maybe this weekend.
Huge(ish) bank deposit – must put it on the card. Payday is Friday. Yay! Just need to eek out the gas till then.
Spent some money @ Michael’s today on a calligraphy pen & ink, some crafty love for the kids (we missed craft day today) and I think that’s it. I need to bust out the pen. I have some plans. Made dolphin bowling with Eshiva today, and made a treasure chest with Dorian this evening. Malachai did not want to make his tonight. I have some hats to make too, maybe over the weekend.
It was pouring this morning, thunder & lightning, the whole nine yards. We cuddled in bed (all of us) and watched Titan A.E. and then Michael got up and made breakfast.
Around 11 we made it out the door and to Best Buy. Michael got his phone this morning (he bought the 8gig that dropped down to 100$ – more on that later) and is in heaven. He’ll be fiddling with it all night I’m sure 
He opted to get the “old” one instead of the new one as I told him if he did, he could spend the rest of what he saved on a tattoo book he wants to update. The author has a deal that he’ll send a check back if you return the old version to him, kind of a rebate for having purchased the original version. Yep, I bribed my man.
Then we dropped him off at work and went to therapy. Then on the way out the kids were horsing around and Dorian slammed Malachai’s arm (around the elbow) in the sliding door of the van. Poor kid. I spent five minutes trying to pop an instant cold pack which wouldn’t pack, so I spent ten minutes driving home with a wailing child. Called ahead and had an ice pack waiting on us. He seems OK now – gave him some ibuprofen for the swelling and he flipped through the new bento book that came. He’s on the computer now. Guess he’s all right Dorian felt awful.
I have to go make dinner. I have garlic-ginger lo mein on the menu (it was a hit last week) but I didn’t defrost the chicken and I have two pot roasts that need to be made in the fridge. I think I waited too long though (which I did yesterday too) as they should have gone in the crock this morning. I forgot I wouldn’t be home at 1 to put it in. Tomorrow maybe… that leaves something for tonight though.
Tattooed a little yesterday. I like shading with the rotary better than the coil machine. Eshiva has the skully I did on her arm – silly girl. I love that the stencils make her so happy.
