Oye

It's been a rough couple of days around here.  Nothing tooo major, but just exhausting.

I found out Sunday night that my mom fell.  For a typical 58 year old, this would be no problem, my mother, is not a typical 58 year old.  My mom had both of her knees replaced almost 3 years ago.  She fell, hard, on the hardwood floors in her bedroom while she was putting clothes away.  Her hip and knee got hurt so bad that she wound up going to the ER.  My mom is no wuss when it comes to pain.  I was SO worried most of Sunday night and Monday morning until I heard from her.  Nothing was/is broken but she is in an immobilizing cast until at least Monday next week.  Her surgeon told her that she has to stay home from school (she's a special ed. teacher) for a week, and while she is NOT happy about it, she knows it's necessary.  We went over there yesterday morning before I took Emma to school and we'll do the same today.  I know my dad is helping her out, but I just feel like I need to be there to help her.  Granted, I don't know how much "help" we really are...me brining along two wild and crazy kids :p

My pic for yesterday is nothing really exciting.  Just the corner of my living room.  I remembered at nap time that I didn't have a pic and rather take a pic of my makeup-less, scraggly lookin' self, I decided to take a pic of the corner of the living room...


today the kids are already nuts.  Madelyn woke up at 5 AM, followed by Darik at 530, and then Emma about 545.  It's gonna be a long day.  They're already winding down from their first freak out session LOL  They wake up running.  Every day.  We're sitting around, me trying to wake up, Darik playing Halo, and the girls, doing 9000 different things.  Today I got them, rocking out.  M on guitar, E on keyboard.

Suppose I'll go start laundry since I've been up half the day already :p  Until next time...

Way too early to be out of bed...except on Monday mornings over here. Glad that your mom is ok and nothing was broken. Hope your day doesn't get too hectic.

Oh man, that's far too early! Lol! Good luck with the rest of your day, hopefully it's not TOO bad.

I'm glad your mom is ok!

Oh, no that is early. So glad she's ok. Knees and hips are no joke as we get older

You've got your own little rock band there! Great pics and I hope you get to go to bed early tonight with having to be up that early!
