The kids are bouncing off the walls like crazy, almost as if we’ve been on vacation for 2 weeks. They do this very thing when we go on vacations and stay in a hotel or condo. I’m getting driven off the wall. Matt keeps asking when they are going to calm down and realize this is where they are going to live. They know of course, but are still acting crazy. I finally got them registered for school today. They will have an open house on August 30th where they can see where they are going to school and meet their teachers. The bus will pick them up front of the house each day so that makes me happy! They always wanted to be “bussers” so just wait… give it a couple months and they will beg to walk home. I used to pick them up from school every single day and they would but me to walk home. When they finally got the opportunity to walk home, they liked it for a week or two then wanted nothing to do with that anymore. I’m so sick of seeing them in front of my face each day with their faces stuffed into the TV it just aggravates me daily. I was like, Chris, get out and do something…anything…” and he just gives me this blank look.
Today I am in so much pain from my stupid fall. I can’t have NSAIDS (motrin, ibuprofen, aleve) and the hospital only gives you a few of what really works. I can’t believe how stupid that fall was. Of all the stupid things that one person can do, a little incident ilke that can derail everything. I thought the first day after would be really painful, but today is by far the worst, and it’s been almost exactly a week. It’s almost like it’s getting worse every single day. I am going to call the orthopedic surgeon they referred me too tomorrow. Hopefully they can get me in soon and I don’t have to wait weeks like our old ENT docs office. It feels like I have a butt full of shrapnel! This has just not been a good month, overall. I mean, June started off great, but then when you have desperate people prey upon you and try to turn it upside down, things get blown way out of shape. Speaking of desperate people, today I spoke with the attorney who says I shouldn’t be responsible for a lot of the citation, which I agree. He is going to research it a little more and then it should be open and close. These people are just money grabbers trying to get a few extra $$ of their kid. I mean heck, if there was even a single drop of blood from the whole incident I would have gladly done more but someone is playing games and trying to milk it for all it’s worth, which IMO is nothing. I mean hell, i’ve been through more emotional turmoil this past month than this kid has been, his mom is just in it for the money.
I really need a vacation but that isn’t happening. We have much to do/spend and too much just to think about. We discovered yesterday after we got home a huge softball size hole in the front window of the house and then we discovered a crack in my windshield. The only thing i can think of is a rock from the driveway got thrown off of my windshield and ricocheted into the window. Kids haven’t been out front to do anything and they don’t really randomly throw rocks anymore. I only noticed it because I started pulling some weeds and looked up. It blends in nicely with the rollerblinds and you could hardly tell, that is until you pulled it up. Thankfully there are 2 panes of glass and it only broke through one! Wow, we’ve been here 2 weeks and I feel like we’ve already caused enough!! We still need to hook up the security cams and stuff too. just a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it.
I hurt a lot today and it figures I’m out of Ambien so it could be a rough night of sleeping. It’s hard to tell. Most of the time I OK without it but this month has been crazy. Ugh. Tomorrow I have to go get my x-ray to rule out scoliosis, which will be interesting because I have to tell them I have a broken butt to note on my xray. My docs office is going to be like, what the heck when they get those results. Hopefully I don’t have any scoliosis and if I do I didn’t make it worse. Then I have to go to the water dept. and change that over, go to the bank, get groceries, etc. Another busy day, but at least school is out of the way!
Well, i’m off to do a little cleaning and then to bed earning!
