Thuumbs Up
Thumbs up to me…
Late last night I managed to put a huge gash across the top of my thumb!
Are You Kidding Me?? is what came to mind! =)
my life is full of never ending medical “hiccups”…
Grrrr…
anyway…
I can hardly type now
see
Good Times!!
I am using a splint to keep it straight so I don’t bend open the huge cut!
it wasn’t pretty…
lots and lots of blood
clean cut though
just deep!!
if the location had been different
I would have gone for stitches it is that deep!
anyway…
blogging will be a little challenging this week!
maybe it will help me ramble less!! (not likely) ha ha!
I have much to tell ya all…
for now photos will have to be worth a thousand words!! =)
Here is a little of what we have been up to this week!
new shrub beds
cleaning EXTREMELY messy rooms
how does it get SOOOOO bad in kids rooms SO FAST!??
I told em off with their heads if I find messy rooms next week!! =)
I did…really!
I may have laughed when I said it…but I said it!!
This
Happened
5 times in 3 days !!!
I think
stupid toilet paper eating dog!!
for the record
he stops and drops it for my hubby almost instantly
not so much for me
there was a good 5 minute chase before I gave up
and got the camera!!!
Bad Merlin!!
and THIS
is AMAZING!!
my water fearing non-swimmers are swimming this summer!!!
Whaaaaaaaaaa Hoooooooo!
they went from nearly terrified of water
especially near the face or eyes
to THIS
AMAZING!!
We signed up for lessons right away before they changed their minds!
Now they are swimming the free style across the width of the pool!!
Fears tackled!
Amen!!
Now we are at the pool every chance we get!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
alright… I need motrin!!
I would cry “mommy” and suck my thumb
right now
if I could
but it hurts! =)
I will comment very short and sweet as I read your blogs this week…
m,kay?!!
excellent!
and I will use mostly photos this week for my blog updates!
because this was painful to type without my thumb!
meaning it takes too long, difficult to type ~ lots of typos being corrected and using my thumb literally hurts!
try it just for fun…
type your comments to me without your right thumb…
I dare ya!!
come on… it will be fun (ny) !! =)
Blessings y’all ~

Oh ~ PS:
Blessing!!
My little man with low vision (20/200) saw THREE shooting Stars!! He thinks!
We could see hundreds of stars in the night sky …
Sammy counted about 5 stars he could see… =(
heart breaking!
We saw many meteors Thursday night… Sammy only manged to see three meteors!! Yay for little blessings! I am thankful for the things he DOES see… and try not to dwell on what he can not! =)

Hooray for seeing stars!!! Hooray for swimming!!! I hear ya on the dirty rooms. It makes me insane. I feel like I am struggling with clutter constantly, and I can’t keep up. Boo for gashing thumbs. I think you need to make sure you don’t do any dishes this week, for sure. 🙂 Being a mom and having cut hands is horrible–you realize how much you depend on your hands all. day. long.

Ooooh, sorry about your thumb throb!! How exciting about the meteors though and the swimming!
August 14th, 2010 saat: 5:51 pm

Typing with out a thumb now there’s a challenge!:)
Love the flower bed borders and we are into a cleaning frenzy of our own!
Enjoy the night

Hope you heal quickly and get back to the norm soon! Have a wonderful week.
August 15th, 2010 saat: 8:24 am
Ouch!! Hope you’re back to all 10 fingers really soon.
It’s been so cloudy here (but still HOT) that we’ve yet to see the show.
August 15th, 2010 saat: 9:20 am
Youch! That sound awful. Get well soon!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I think we did lose each other in the blogosphere somewhere. Sorry I haven’t been by to visit in so long.
We trade post cards through the yahoo group Postcard Kids. It’s lots of fun and you can do as much or a little as you like, so it’s easy. Another group I joined recently is called Postcrossing and there are more international opportunities so we ‘re trying that too.
Hope you are having a great weekend! I’ve been through the puppy thing, ugh! It’s a good thing they are so darn cute! Ours is about a year and a half now and finally getting better manners. Hang in there 🙂

You are not supposed to make me laugh when I’m trying to be sympathetic to your injury!
August 15th, 2010 saat: 3:01 pm
ouch! hope your thumb heals quickly or you figure out how to type with only 9 fingers… hunt and peck?
August 15th, 2010 saat: 4:37 pm
Ouch! About your thumb! I hate it when I cut my hands-moms use their hands sooo much- dishes, taking care of kids, cooking….
Great work on shrub beds- we have been getting flower gardens and such in order over here too.
Yay for you kiddos liking the water! My younger brother was quite scared of the water for some time when he was younger.
About Thomas the Trains….my little guy isn’t too much into them right now (although he does have a train set (free from my aunt- my girl cousins never played with it!) and he watches the show sometimes with my hubby. Right now he is all about Elmo. 🙂 So we figured we’d wait to do the Day Out With Thomas train ride for when he’s older- but we’re excited to do that some day!

August 16th, 2010 saat: 12:41 am
Ouch, poor thumb! I had to laugh at the toilet paper pics. hee hee!
August 16th, 2010 saat: 5:22 am
Woo hoo for swimmers. Boo for blogging with only nine fingers…on a positive note at least you are not blogging with your toes. 🙂 I kid
You are so funny. I tried to comment without my thumb…not fun. I will just leave that to you. 🙂
Hope it heals quickly.
We wanted to see the meteors but fell asleep. Sheesh. Glad Sammy saw some.

🙁 Sorry to hear of your thumb, but happy to see that smile along with it. Happy b-day to your dh and anniversary to you both. Loved hearing from you today. Little Man was a challenge to teach in the 2nd grade and still is as the years moves on. But we make it and he some how learns. lol Blessings Catherine

Sorry to hear about your thumb. When my last (first? only?) flare up came on full force in April, I couldn’t type for the life of me. It felt like my hands were cartoon hands. So, I can kind of relate. Frustrating. 🙂
Good for you to celebrate your little guy’s triumphs! We all need to do that!
August 16th, 2010 saat: 1:35 pm
Bless your heart! Poor thumb. Amazing the things we do with that lil’ digit, huh?
Your pup made me giggle. Sorry.
Yay for swimming… That’s when it gets fun, and a lil’ less worrisome for mom. 😉
Let me know if you ever figure out how to keep a child’s room clean. I ‘do’ enjoy the 12 seconds that it’s clean though. Haha!!

Hope your finger feels better soon. Good luck with the typing. Thank you for sharing your pictures they are great.
