My grandmother had a stroke 2 days before our wedding. My family made the executive decision not to tell us until after the wedding. Which is a whole seperate issue I have yet to deal with. My aunt & uncle stayed behind to be with her (my grandmother couldn't go due to her doctor's orders, which we've known for a month at that point). So basically since we've been home I've been going down to see her every day while DD is in school and my other family members go visit her later in the day when they get out of work. She is *supposed* to be moved to a rehab facility later today. Which is a good thing, but I'm going to be the only one there with her during the process and I'm knocking and wishing on everything she does well on her tests today so she can be discharged. I think I'm more stressed about it than she is!
I pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder last night just getting up out of the chair. I think it's making my nerve disorder act up, because it hurts like a bitch. I may call the doctor later. I'm definitely going to call for a refill on muscle relaxers. Ouch!
Oh and school starts back for me tomotrow. The last two months being off has been awesome. I'm not ready!!

Adeline has been on a long streak of waking up dry. Sadly, this morning she woke up wet. Oh wellz.
I really am not feeling work. I slept like crud. I had a lot of nightmares last night! I also forgot that I need to be here at 7am, not 7:30am, in order to get home in time to get Edie off the bus. UGH. Commuting is so hard.

Ugh I'm sorry ashleydl83:( Are your doctors recommending you start PT soon?
My next appointment is October 7, and he said we'll discuss it then. I have to get an x-ray that he told me to get on the way to the appointment to see if the bone has started to fuse around the titanium cage. He said it's like having a broken bone and waiting for it to set in a cast, but obviously you can't cast a neck. He gave me a few stretches to start with and to do them a couple of times a day.

Yesterday was a very hard day at work, I don't think one of my new employees is going to work out. I had a dream that I lost my shit on her and fired her, and it felt awesome, lol. She is so similar to the one I fired last year, right down to the family situation, which has come out after hired, which makes me feel bad for her. But I'm far too busy and swamped with work to have dead weight with a bad attitude around. Ughhh
Working from home today. We've had our first victim to Owen being in school with new people, and it's not him. Poor Violet is sick. She's mostly crazy, but has a fever and is currently laying down watching Paw Patrol (thank goodness for season 3 being on Netflix now). I'm attempting to work but its difficult when I'm not actually in the building to get answers from people.
I've resorted to offering W a M&M in the mornings if he gets himself dressed. He totally can do it on his own but lately acts like he can't and whines about it. Buddy, I have 25 other things to do in the morning to get the 3 of us ready and out the door, just dress your damn self! The good news is, the M&Ms are working at least! #MOTY

Cookie AW. I posted pics of the two baby shower cookies I made on my local fb page and the responses were crazy! I had about 20 (!!) inquires, which resulted in two orders booked for this sat. One pending for oct. Not too shabby!
I baked 2 dozen cookies yesterday morning thinking I could start early and get ahead. I do my cookie cutting on my kitchen counter but I set F up on the dining table and gave her the dough scraps to play with her toy rolling pin. I don't have tons of counter space so I had the cookies cooling in the rack on the other side of the table from F. I went to he living room to talk to H for a couple minutes and E called me to the kitchen. I came back to find ALL the cookies on the floor broken in pieces.
I planted green beans along my fence line growing area months and months ago and promptly forgot about them. Imagine my surprised a couple of days ago going over there and seeing beans everywhere, lol. The temps finally lowered enough that everything is flowering and fruiting now. So I've been eating a lot of fresh green beans. They are so crisp and yummy and a little sweet when picked small.
I've been trying to take Clara to swim at the gym twice a week while may is at school. She likes the pool and its warm water but she shivers when we get out. It's cheaper than lessons though and I feel like the lessons actually caused May to develop fear of being dunked under water so I'm trying a different strategy with Clara.

muppetinma, new car because of the car accident last week? What did you get? It always sucks to have to make a quick decision on cars.... like when you HAVE to get a new car right now vs wanting one and being able to wait for what you want.

Yup. My old car is totaled. We were talking about replacing my car soon anyway, so I had an idea of what I wanted. I ended up with a 2016 Kia Soul.

Liking for the new car, not for the circumstances.
bebeetmoi I hope everything goes well with your grandmother.
Loco Coco I love her! Sorry about the no sleep thing though
Thanks, I definitely cried about it this morning. she's supposed to still be in sleepy newborn mode! Even G and C gave me like 2 weeks of fairly good sleep before they went crazy colicky! Luckily she doesn't cry for long but she just wants to be held/nursed constantly. And the nights she's up all night was to more incision/tummy pain the next day.
I'm so sorry! I remember those days. I had every intention of having O in her crib in our room but she wouldn't sleep longer than 30-45 minutes. She has to be next to me/a boob in order to sleep. I hope things get better.

I have so many baby and kid clothes that I need to sell/get rid of/donate. I'm trying to sort through them but my smallest child is determined to cause major injury to himself by climbing on things and putting strange objects in his mouth.
