So I have been gone for quite some time. Things have been hectic, crazy, insane, normal around here. Sadly normal includes lots of stress. Lately a bit more then usual.
Here is where the crazy begins... August DH has vacation (Monday through Sunday)we all are thrilled but we have no place to go. We decide let's have a stay-cation. It was wonderful we had tons of plans. In the end we ended up going to the aquarium and then to a water park. All in a week the rest of the time we sat home to recoup from the other days. The weather was far from nice and we did what we could and that was that.
By Saturday I had enough of the happy family moment and needed a girls night out. So we decided to go out and we had a blast. Me and two girlfriends it was great. We danced (in our heads and seats) , we drank (well they did and I had a beer and some soda), we partied till we couldn't any longer (you know about midnight or a few minutes after). Then we all came home. I dropped of my two girlfriends who live up the block and came home.
Well when I got here somebody was in my apartment building and I couldn't see who. So I called DH to come be my saviour and meet me so I could walk upstairs safely. Well on the way to meet me he fell and hurt his ankle. When we got upstairs he was shaking uncontrollably and his ankle was swelling. As you can guess off to the hospital we went. That night we were told after x-rays that it was a horrible sprain and he could go back to work in a week, but follow up with an orthopaedic doctor.
Fun fun now a week of unpaid time home due to injury, just our luck. If it wasn't for bad luck we would have no luck at all. We went to the doctor and they proceeded to put a boot on D. Also known as a walking cast. We were then told come back in 10 days, but no work. No driving, no nothing. Yippee!
To make a long story shorter it is now October and DH has yet to return to work.
During the first month DH couldn't do much so I tried to keep up with everything and entertain the kids and come home to feed him because he was not supposed to even stand up. It was fun to say the least.
September the kids went back to school and we were all thrilled. As soon as school started my best friends father passed away. I was grateful the kids were back in school and I was able to be there for her. Only problem was my kids had all half days the first week of school. I called my Mom and there she was to the rescue or so we thought.
The same day my Mother calls to let me know my Grandfather has been to the doctor and they told him he needs surgery. In Florida far far away. Oh great. Mom must fly off to Florida. For a week, OK we can deal with a week right.... Wrong she is still in Florida and Pop (Grandpa) just got out of the hospital today, 1 week shy of a month. It has been a very long month and it will continue to be a long month ahead of us. Mostly Mom as she is dealing with my Grandma (Nana) and will help out when Pop gets out of the rehabilitation place. Pop can't walk and he is the one who drives and takes care of everything as he has been caring for Nana since a stroke in 1997. Oh yeah did I mention she had a mini stroke just 4 short weeks before Pop had to go in for surgery. Now you see why Mom is there.
So that has been my August and September. It has been hectic, insane, crazy, normal... Just our life. So now I hope to be back up and blogging because I enjoy blogging and I enjoy reading everyone else's blogs. So I'm back and hopefully this time for good.
