first stitches

in a family of our size (especially with 3 boys!) one would expect i have seen a few sets of stitches, maybe a few broken bones, but i have not- not once!
last night after bath Lucca was running, chasing the puppies -totally breaking rule #1 by running in the house and she slipped on a mat on the entryway tile and caught her fall with her poor little chin! :(
two hours and four stitches later she was back home and in bed. and guess what day i have to go back to get her stitches out? well, Monday of course! (same day as court)
and speaking of court- the GAL called yesterday and said that the only thing judge should be deciding in termination of parental placement- she said they would need to set another court day to determine placement (because CPS wants her with Grama and GAL wants her with me). so more waiting of a-yet-to-be-determined timeframe...sigh

blah

my head is KILLING ME. Motrin doesn't work. i don't want to take any more vicadine, and coffee makes me feel worse so i am exhausted to boot from not having my morning joe. sigh..
it's one of those days where i am doing a horrible job parenting, teaching, standing..lol
seriously . OUCH

~~~pity part for Liz, everyone is invited!~~~~~~~~~

the eyes get even scarier!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN>

my scary eyes

i have zombie eyes!
seriously, when they said my eyes would be red-this isn't quite what i had imagined :)

ouch- my surgery (eye muscle) is on thursday of THIS WEEK!
yikes
here's a good website talking about it:
eye

i have to go under general for the surgery and then they give you vicadin for afterwords. mainly i am just worried about recovery time and taking care of the brood. Gabe won't be taking off work since he is hourly and all.

eye doctor visit

so today we (me and kiryn) went to the eye doctor. It was his first time, and he was thrilled to go.lol
he wanted glasses SOOOO bad, and they were almost not going to give him a prescription (it was a very small amount needed in only one eye), but he really wanted it.
so i am ordering glasses today off this one website that has them inexpensive enough for me.
i didn't get a prescription for myself however, instead i get EYE SURGERY! yikes. but, it is the only thing they can do to correct my lazy eye. I can't wait to be rid of my self-consciousness that stems from it.
anyhow. i am glad we made it home safely from the eye doctors, as it is very hard to drive with your eyes dilated. yikes!
my friendwas the eye nurse who did our workup and she accidentally dilated my eyes instead of numbing them before putting this light thing on the eye bulb. well i was like "ouch!" and she thought i was just being a wimp. well she leaves, and i CANT SEE. everything is blurry and crazy. the doctor comes in and i tell her. turns out , yep, my friend screwed up. luckily i love her!
she is one of the three woman i know pregnant and due in November. i think the pregnancy is already taking her brain!
