Prosthetic Toes and Penile Implants

The kids got up this morning at 6am. Little poops. My mom was up too so I didn't want to saddle her with the urchins and I crawled off the couch. I need to clarify, it was a two cushion small loveseat. I wasn't paying attention when I put Monkey Boy to bed last night and gave him the big couch. So when peanut woke up at 2am (I had been sleeping for all of an hour) she and I had to smoosh on the small one. Not fun according to my back and neck.

My aunt from Antigo came down to watch Monkey Boy so Kirk and I could take Peanut to see Papa. He is breathing so much better today. The tap came back with a very high white cell count which means an infection. Duh. He was getting another MRI type scan done at noon so the nurse was asking him about neck injuries (they are scanning his neck). One of the questions was "Do you have any artificial limbs?" My dad laughed and said no but my husband said "He has an artificial toe". My dad thought he said something smart assy but when the husband told him what was said, dad almost fell off the bed laughing. The nurse pointed to a question and asked for a yes or no. He laughed and said no but he would take one for real cheap. I looked at the nurse and said, "Are you asking if he has a penile implant?" She said she didn't want to embaress him in front of his daughter to which my dad, husband and I all started laughing so much. Yeah that's my family.

At any rate, he's doing ok for now. He's still on oxygen and pain meds. He's so doped up sometimes. He loved seeing Peanut and we're still contemplating taking Monkey Boy up there. If he makes some miraculous recovery in the next 24 hours, he can go home Monday but that ain't happening and he knows it. He had an incident with his right eye today. He blinked and when he opened his eye (he was standing by the window for his once a day view) he couldn't see anything. Then there was a burst of blue, then white, no shapes. Very odd. They are thinking maybe a blocked artery in his neck. Hopefully before we leave tomorrow night, we'll know more. If, God forbid, he takes a turn for the worse, the husband and Monkey Boy will go home tomorrow and Peanut and I will stay.

Ok it's nap time around here. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

Nice To Meet You

Hi. I just got here last week. They call me the Littlest Little. I'm glad to be here and I'm sure I'll be seein' ya around. This my mama. She's always telling me that she loves me and is so blessed to have me in her life. Sometimes she cries. Wait, that's all the time. Someone should get her a tissue or two or a box. This is my daddy. See my pinky here? He's wrapped around it already. I don't think he minds though. This is Fluffy and she's the coolest auntie there is. Her little girl, Monkey? I dig that one. Hopefully she and I can be the best of friends. It's my uncle, Pedro Juan. Everyone says I'm a mellow baby and that he was the same way when he was but a baby. That's cool with me. I love my Peej. Hopefully I'll have photos of me with my cousins and siblings tomorrow. And Uncle Kota? Mama is trying to find the picture of us together. She's not all that fast on the uptake. Cut her some slack though k? If she gets her poop in...

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...
