Again!? Jeez. I hope he's okay! Does he need to go to the dentist with you now, or are his teeth okay? We can always get you guys matching gold grills...

Up

Sit around for a few hours and do work because grad fellow isn't ever on campus at good times

Yep...

For those who don't know, dh was hit by car while cycling a few years ago. Car cut in front of him (driver was cited for "failure to yield to a cyclist $35 fine)- he went over the hood and landed on his head. Knocked out cold for 20 minutes - woke in the ambulance. *Major* road rash. If he hadn't been wearing his helmet - might not be here now. PBF drove me to the hospital that day - oh yeah fun times...

 

[morgansmom2000]

Oh jeez, TB, glad to hear he's okay!

 

[ddavis860]

OUCH!!! How terrible about the first accident too! Hope DH feels better!!!

DS17 had the front tire of his bike come off during a trick a couple of years ago. He did a facer in the asphalt. He got a nice helicopter ride to the hospital, was a trauma alert...so scary!! And he had gravel coming out for months from that road rash!

I have to say that triple antibiotic ointment from Walgreen's works soooo well!! Not one scar from all that road rash! The pharmacist recommended it, and lots of soap and water. Worked like a charm!

 

[PinballFamily]

Isn't it fun to walk (bike?) down Memory Lane? Isn't there supposed to be a lifetime cap on the number of times friends go to emergency rooms with each other??? I think we MUST have hit that already, so aren't we done?

Eek - hope he feels better soon! Good luck at the dentist with the chomper - hope they can cap it/file it or something to make it better until a more permanent solution is done.

Kids are home today - Election Day - so everyone is here and is underfoot! Not sure how today will play out for me in terms of getting things done around the house - couple of doctor appts scheduled for DS since he's off and I still must get out to vote. Especially to get some new blood onto our School Committee and shove the dinosaurs off...

Christy - major good luck wishes coming your way. Fingers and toes crossed for you!!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

morning everyone!

Nan-go pay bills in town---->how long does it take you to get to town?

have a great day everyone!

I had to run to the next town over..about a 10 minute drive.. had to pay insurance and home insurance... I pay it directly to the office.. When we first moved the company in it's infinite wisdom kept crediting the EX wife's account... even though our policy was in OUR NAMES! So, we started go directly to the agent and he rectified the problem.. ERGH!!!

Aaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh! Having a 9 year old is so much fun! I'm so sick of fighting with her over stupid things! I'M THE MOTHER, THAT'S WHY! Deep breath...


Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Welcome to the world of tween/teen girls! It only gets better (NOTICE: INTENSE SARCASM here!). Actually, it does get better according to my mom! I however was about to knock PJ around the other night... passed her skills test and therefore she "thinks" she's an expert driver.. Hell, I have 20 years experience and I'm not an expert! You can't be in this day and age.. too many morons on the roads with the smart drivers!

Kids are home today - Election Day - so everyone is here and is underfoot! Not sure how today will play out for me in terms of getting things done around the house - couple of doctor appts scheduled for DS since he's off and I still must get out to vote. Especially to get some new blood onto our School Committee and shove the dinosaurs off...

We are in school since it's no big election.. Heck, we were in school for the Presidential election.. As for getting the dinosaurs off the board... good luck!!! We got the dinosaurs off and got the EGO trip club now!

I worked at school today! Noticed the PTO people were in.. signed in..and they acted all excited to see me and wanted to know if I was there to help PTO .. I laughed and said nope, not interested in participating with the elementary PTO... I went to my son's classroom and volunteered as scheduled..

I came home to an email to help at the HS too!!! Hope to start 2 days a week for 2 hours next Monday and Thursday.. I will be entering the forbidden zone!!!!!

Give Randy that from me Tinker. Then punch him in arm for making you worry.

Just finished taking Little Bit to school. All done with downtown driving. He got his check from the study and I'll be taking him to the bank after dinner to cash it (bank in the grocery store).

Fix myself some lunch.
Take dogs to vet. Boy dog has something funky going on with this his lower eye membranes. Not bad looking yet, but would rather pay an office visit now then ER for Doggies later.
Make fried rice when I get home. Rice was made yesterday, but chicken didn't thaw. It's still not thawed. I think my frig may be too cold.
Dinner, homework and swap making.

First night in the house was good! Slept well, no strange noises, although I did keep waking up every hour for the first few hours.

This morning was a new routine. In the apartment, I would get on the computer right away. Which means showering, dressing and eating breakfast wouldn't happen until sometimes the afternoon. Here, the computers are downstairs so I did all those things before I came down the stairs.

Today's list:

Prime office
Paint ceiling in office
Put tester paint on the wall to see if it works with the family room colors
Depending on time, finish unpacking kitchen and finish putting shelf liners where they need to be.
Home Depot
Costco

Thanks - he's got a cut in his chin that won't stop bleeding so he is finally calling the doctor office...

I got my tooth fixed and it was no big deal - yay!

Next - haircut
