What's New?

Well, I went on Wednesday for my follow up on my arm, and to get recasted. I am now sporting a really pretty Raven's purple cast (per Jack's request). No surgery needed!!! I am still having some periods of swelling which hurt like crazy, but a little elevation usually helps.

The bad news is that this doctor wants to keep me in this hard cast for 4 weeks, then a removeable brace for a bit after that while I am in physical therapy. He estimates I can go back to work in another 6-8 weeks. I was hoping to be back to work 6 weeks after the breaks. Not so! So, to supplement our income, I've been trying to find a job I can do from home. Not having a lot of luck with that either.

So, I have been working on my garden. I have 4 cucumbers that have sprouted that I just moved outside. My tomato plant is sprouted, but I am keeping that inside for a few more weeks until the temperatures become more consistent. I have plenty of carrots sprouting, and one lettuce, all of which have been moved outside. I planted tulips, gerbera daisies, freesia, and blue anemone the other day in our front garden as well. I don't have a green thumb, so if anything makes it to come back again next year, I will be impressed. If our veggies make it to fruit, I will be really impressed!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter!!

Learn to Pay Attention Mommy!

I learned a little lesson today, and it is one I often preach to Jack. Pay attention!!!!

We were having a conversation that we have multiple times throughout the day, and thus, I wasn't paying much attention to what he nor I were saying. I was on the computer, and he was informing me that he has a penis because he is a boy. Yeah yeah, I hear this all day long...so, I said yes, you are a boy. He told me, "You don't have a penis Mommy because you are a girl." That's right. He asks me, "Mommy, what's yours called?" Still, I didn't perk up. I told him what it was, and he repeated it. Then he says, "What's it for?" Before I realized what I said, out comes "having babies and going pee pee." It was one of those moments where something leaves your mouth before you can censor it, and you're holding your breath waiting for the fallout. He didn't miss a beat, and said to me, "Silly Mommy, babies don't come from there!" Oh, Thank God!!!! So I asked him where babies come from, and his response..."They come from your work where all the babies are!" That's right baby! Whew!!!

You can bet I'll be paying better attention!!!
