Week in review...

Last weekend...oh, how I love the weekends :0)


Still wrangling trying to get surgery on the books for my gal.

Now there is this:


'Mum is broken.' (Cracks me up that C has taken to calling me 'mum'. We'll keep it.) It's the latest in summer footwear around here and I'm stuck with it for a good while in hopes of preventing me from having a spot on the surgery schedule. Don't even ask how it happened (it's not exciting)...let's just pretend that the ankle will heal fast. It's a real joy trying to get through a long day in the office and then drag over to the hospital. But, onward I go. After all, it takes longer to whine about it than to just suck it up and get the job done.

That whole 'you never get anything more than you can handle' thing? I'm tired of it now :0) I'd much prefer to just grab my gal and run away from everything for a while...except that I can't run!

Hop-a-long mama wishing you a good weekend. Some day, not sure when, I'll catch up with you again.

LOVE that she calls you "mum". way too cute.

Robin said...

Holy Cow.. I can't even imagine dragging that thing around all day long. UGH!

Here's praying for fast healing and quick surgery for the wing for better feeling ears.

Red Sand said...

Here's to quick healing. What a bummer.

Catherine said...

Oh friend! That's not fun!! Sorry about da banged up footsie. Hope you're able to drop the cast soon. Hoping and praying it's not your driving foot as that adds a whole new set of complications you just don't need!

((hugs))...and piggybacks!

Special K said...

What? That contraption can't be pleasant. Can't wait to hear this story. Hope you're quickly on the mend.

Middle-Aged Moi said...

Oh dear. Well, it looks kinda like a ski boot so maybe you could pretend that you are getting away from it all, shooshing down the slopes? You could come to CANADA to do that, you know. I'm just sayin'.

As for the "mum". Too cute. At least it's not "MOOOOTHER", like my 11 year old....:-)

Vivian M said...

Get well soon! We look forward to hearing you are back on your feet again soon.

Donna said...

Oh, poor mommy! Just tell people it was a surfing accident or something really glam!

Polar Bear said...

Oh!Ouch!!
Hope you're better soon!

Tami said...

Ouch! Sending you quick healing thoughts!!!! :)

Joannah said...

Oh, no! You really didn't need that right now, did you? I hope you mend quickly.

:-)

Unknown said...

Oh geez, that's just what you needed. C is still cute as can be. Just love her expressions.

Take care, and I hope your ankle heals quickly.

Shannon said...

Ugh. But at least you don't have to worry about pedicures!! A bright spot? I know- hardly! Hugs to you and your girl.
P.S. C is saying short sentences at 16 months? I am blown away! This speech therapist mama needs your mad speech-language teaching skills! =)

Colleen said...

Are you freakin kidding me? What the heck didja do? Sorry sweets. Take it easy.

J said...

Good golly that's some interesting summer footwear. I'm thinkin your little shoe crazed girl will pass on one of those !! Here's hoping you get back to showing off your pedicure soon. Hmmm, maybe you should start teaching C the word queen. You could be the Queen Mum and she the princess.

Paula said...

OUCH!!! Looks like you're sporting an alpine ski boot! Not fun at all, I'm sure, summer or any other time of year. Here's hop(p)ing (sorry, couldn't resist!) it heals sooner than later. Take care.

4D said...

Yowza...hang in and hang tough. Hugs to you gals!

Keep smilin!

Sugar Cookies And Hope said...

Ugh!! I'm wishing some 'calm' for you.

Beth Snow said...

Wow C - that just bites! Hope you heal up soon. I've had a bit of experience with footwear like that BEFORE baby. I can't even begin to imagine what a pain in the *ahem* ankle that has to be with a little one in tow! Here's to a swift recovery.

Abby's Mom said...

YOU POOR THING! Hope your all healed up quick! P is so darn cute!

Abby's Mom said...

By the way.....C is just adorable, and I love hearing how well she is doing!!!

Tammie said...

Gee. You do keep things exciting in your neck of the woods. Hopefully your ankle will heal with needing surgery!
