Happy Sunday!!!!!

Joe and I had a great time at the casino with my parents yesterday. We even walked away with a tiny bit more money then we started with.

Boots and Bananas · Guru

(((hugs))) Apies

I know it is not quite the same since you and Matt have been together much longer but I totally know how much your heart hurts right now and I am keeping my fingers crossed and saying prayers that you are all back together soon.

April, I hope Matt sells the boat and the house really soon. But most of all I hope he gets his transfer out there tomorrow. I totally agree that it is hard to live with someone else and given all that you have been through prior to coming out there, I think I would be missing my husband something fierce too. Sent a little prayer for you.

Roxanna, I hope the adjustment to not having your dh there goes better than you think. It's amazing how they can just drive you crazy, but then when they aren't around you miss them so much. Hopefully you will see him more than you thought.

Yesterday was my mom's birthday (hence the casino trip) and today we are going to her house for Sunday dinner and cake.

My brother is there every Sunday with my niece and his girlfriend so we will get to hang out with them.

It's going to be a little wierd though, it's the first time we will all be together with our new significant others.

I really wish my sister would start dating again.

LL, woohoo on walking away with more than you started! I am glad you had a good time!

Boots and Bananas · Guru

I really dislike this part of pregnancy.

Most of my early symptoms are gone which is great

But because I have felt the baby move I want to feel ot all the time and it's just not big/strong enough yet so I get worried when I dont feel it for a really long time.

I can't wait until it's movements are strong and regular in the next couple of weeks so I know there is really something in there.

Thanks libby...

I got woken up at 8:15 by Travis storming in my house to get Nikki.

Can someone please explain to me why the eff he or his father cannot text her to say they here (they pick her up for church, Lucas was already with them, he slept there last night)

I will tell you why because effing 5 knew Joe and I would be sleeping so he sent Travis in.

This happens every week though even when it is just me here sleeping. So damn ridiculous.

I need to start locking the door so people cannot just walk in here.

Jo · Guru

april - I'm sorry you're having a rough time

believe me, ITKWYM about living with someone else and how hard that is. we did it for four months, and it was soooo rough. especially when dom would leave us to go on biz travel.

hang in there, and I hope it won't be long before you can have your own place

thinking about you

Jo · Guru

LL - it won't be long before that little one is kicking up a storm! I can understand the worry, though.

are you still considering moving to another place, away from 5? I wish he'd grow up and stop giving you grief

Jo · Guru

I'm getting ready to take the boys over to a friend's house to hop in their pool. Dom is already there doing some video work, so we'll pick up lunch on our way and probably spend a good part of the afternoon there. I hope the weather is good, I haven't checked that side of town.

Cuppycake · Guru

Heya girlies.

I'm totally in a post party coma. Even after taking an ambien so my sleep would be uninterrupted, and Joe let me sleep until 11.

I don't want to do annnnnnything at all. But, I have a ton of laundry to do. Like, a TON. Hannah helped me sort it all earlier today, so hopefully I can keep motivated to keep switching it, so I can get a ton of it out of the way. It's piled along our entire bedroom, plus the hallway, and that's not even getting into the clothes that people brought to Hannah that are piled up in the third bedroom. Ahhhh!

GM!

We went to my inlaws farm yesterday. It is such a drive (3+ hours each way), but so worth it.

We spent the morning at a fair in the tiny village which is always adorable. The afternoon was spent getting what we could out of our garden since we won't get back for four weeks and by then much of it will be past. We're going to miss the tomatoes altogether, they were all still green as the grass :( Such a bummer.

BUT...got several bags of green beans, broccoli, carrots, and something like 10 cucumbers- and that was after I was giving away cucumbers to anyone with a pulse.

As a bonus, the blackberry trees were ripe, so we picked 4 quarts. I don't love blackberries, but the boys like them. I thought my inlaws would take half so they wouldn't have to deal with the prickles themselves, but they declined...so today I need to look up recipes to use all these blackberries before they go bad.

In a slight bummer, the wild blueberry patch we usually get several gallons out of on public land was plowed under this year and is now regularly mowed. I'm guessing they were tired of crowds stopping to pick. Huge bummer there.

Sounds fun! I love blackberries :)

Libby, I hope DS does not cause too much trouble once he moves in.

Robin, sounds like switching rooms was a good idea.

April, I can understand how it would be hard living in someone else's house even if it's your close friend. I always worry about not wearing out my welcome too. And I hope you'll see Matt soon.

I am not going to see DH till December... I try not to think about it.

gogona · Guru

LL, good to hear that casino trip went great! I've never been in a casino, I am not a risk taker when it takes to $$ smile

and hang in there, baby will start kicking up a storm before you know it.

We had friends over today and we spent 5 hours in a pool, I am exhausted and so is Christopher but we had a lot of fun.

I need to cook something but I sooo don't feel like cooking. I am too spoiled by my mom or DH cutting things up for me and since neither one of them is here I will have to do it all by myself yawn

jenn- that garden sounds really swell. i'm just trying to get mine through august so it will fruit again.

LL- 5 is dumb

robin- i meant to say that i also am astonished the kids got to the top of the closet. i cant get to the top of mine w/o a large step stool

jo- sounds like a perfect, relaxing sunday

irina- 5 mos is a long time!

so nothing super special at work this weekend.

we did have some interesting patients with actual needs which is always way more interesting than the pts we see with predictable outcomes.

we had a few really whiney kids today. my threshold for drama in children is higher than adults, but extremely limited after the age of 8 or so. and definitely relative to the level of illness or injury. the one common denominator amongst overly dramatic children is an equally dramatic/enabling parent.

but today was an illuminating example of fakery. a 13yr old comes in after falling down 8 stairs. he hurt his ankle and wouldn't bear weight. and he had no problem being a great big cry baby. his mom was driving us nuts because she was either around the corner on the dayum phone discussing this 'emergency' or at the nurse's station acting like we are 7-11.

he cried the entire time. fake snivelling cries. (i know you think i'm being a biatch but you will see i am not)

he had no fracture but some previous injury that involved a pin so they decided to call ortho down to cast him presumably to keep it in place (i really have no idea). i went in there to start his IV after the medic missed the first one. (which of course the kid was crying about bcuz he could see blood on the band aid).

the ortho doc asks for morphine and i repeat his verbal order.

i flush the line- pushing SALINE through to clear the blood and while i do this mom says

"see? you're finally getting something for the pain to help you"

and at first i was confused but then the kid says...

"yeah, i can feel it working right now!"

so i look at the ortho doc and he just winks.

they casted him and re-casted it and the kid was just fine. i was gonna go ahead and get him the morphine if he was in pain but you know he tolerated the discomfort very well and really never complained at all. and mom finally stfu.

and all i did was give him a small syringe of IV fluid.

see? big dang drama queen.

i might have to use more magical normal saline in the future...
