Mamma is not operating at 100% today




Allow me to introduce you all to Donovan's latest habit. Sticking things in his ears. These lovely tidbits are from today's emergency room excursion. ER trip #2 in the child's short 2 1/2 yrs.

He decided popcorn kernels worked better in his ear than the garbage. His pediatrician tried getting them out with the vaccuum machine and the scoop things that look like crochet needles. Neither worked so I took him to the ER.

If you live in Wisconsin, the bordering states and quite possibly, lower Canada, then I'm sure you heard Donovan's strong dislike for the doctor. I have never heard a scream (or two or 300 hundred) come out of a child as I did today. By the end of it all, I was bawling like a baby too.

He has a piece of something still wedged waaaaaaaaaay up in there and there's some blood in there. The doc told me to take him to the ENT doc on Mon. They said they're have to sedate him to take a lookie see. I'm going to ask them to knock him out for a couple hours longer than needed so that I have some peace at home. I don't think they'll go for it but I'mma gonna try.

I said is it safe to leave that wedged in there up against the whosywhat and he actually said yes. I don't know that I believe him but by that time I would've bought just about anything. I had to cancel my chiropractic appt to take D which I don't mind at all except my back is killing me now.

I called work and thankfully Sarah was working (she ROCKS!) She found someone to cover my shift cause I told her I wasn't gonna be able to handle the liquor dept by myself on a Fri and my back was out plus Donovan needed me at home as he was still grabbing at ears and recovering from the trauma-ramma-drama.

The 1/2 kernal and piece of puffy popcorn were in the left ear (the one with more stuff in it) and the whole kernal was habitating the other ear. The ER doc said, "Oh you HAVE to see this kernal. IT'S HUGE!" I didn't think it was that big but then I'm usually taking the tweezers to his nose a couple times a week to rescue (then toss out) a tic tac.

So you would think that all of this drama would teach him to keep his damn hands away from his ears when the hands are holding stuff but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo not my child.

Dylan wrestled a wood chip out his hand tonight.

Help, I Need Somebody, Help, Not Just Anybody, Heeeeeelp!

So yeah, there's a lot of crap on that side of the page ya know? ~~~~~> I want to make this three columns wide. Two smalls on the sides and one large for my useless words and thoughts. I need to move some of that crap somewhere else and I'd rather the somewhere else not be the garbage. I'm still in Blogger. I have no clue how to go about getting my own domain name, what is a good cost, who to trust. So please, help a bloggin' sister out. Any helpful advice, tips, paths in the right direction would be AWESOME! I don't mind paying someone to hook me up. I would like to note however, I don't have one of those magical money trees. Thanks folks. I heart you all.* *except you people who come here for the Doodlebops sans makeup. I mean I like that I have "a lot"** of traffic but it's really rather depressing when 70% of it is from that alone. Christ, what else is out there to boost the traffic? Johnny does the Sprites and there is video? **and by a lo...

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well, ...

Trish Needs.......

I did this cause of Suzi, whose page I read religiously - check her out here . I'm going with the top 30 Google responses to "Trish needs" because SO many of them are related to wrestling of which I am a fan but not capable of doing without killing myself and/or the other person (unless it's the husband in bed but we won't go there. No. We won't. His sister reads this! Hi Steph!) I've decided to add commentary where I feel it's needed because, well, because I can. 1. Trish needs to always be in control of the situation and her men (amen to that my friends) 2. Trish needs to get this card off as soon as possible 3. Trish needs to do some serious damage control 4. Trish needs your help (help packing, help mentally, help with laundry, help with Monkey Boy, etc) 5. Trish needs to come to OPS and talk to all counselors & supervisors 6. Trish needs a makeover ( I don't think it's THAT bad!) 7. Trish needs an intervention (I do not have an Oreo pr...
