Anyone? Anyone at all? Yeah, until today I had no idea what the hell this was. But I gots it! The info on a cerebral contusion in case you are like me and never heard of it. This is what worries me. "The swelling is worst at around four to six days after the injury." I already feel like ass, trouble talking to people. Which has worked just wonderfully while at work today. Talking and thinking with this just doesn't happen. And I'm just about 24 hours out from the injury. I'm suppose to go back on Friday and feel better. How is that possible if I'm going to be right in the time frame of the WORST SWELLING?!?!?!?!
That being said if I don't feel any better then I do now come Friday he will order a scan. Which seems like a pity scan. I swear I think my doctors feel I'm a hypochondriac. Okay, well I am a little as I'm getting older, but he is the one who pointed out the HUGE lump on the back of my head. How the hell do you fake that shit?
And I found out from another article on-line while my well edited rant from last night happened and why I TOTALLY lost it at bath time. Seems agitation and/or irritability is part of the symptoms.
Those of you who don't know I'm sure are asking how the hell did this happen? The freakin DOG!!!! Had a dog at my feet, got up from the couch and the dog jumped up between my legs knocking me off balance. All my weight (COW - MMMMOOOOOOOOOOO!) was already heading in one direction and I kind of jumped into it to make sure I landed on the couch. Instead of the dog and/or toys and crap that were on the floor. Well I made it alright! Bounced the back of my head with hair clip on the arm of our sectional. Kind of blacked out as I fell. Probably cause my body knew this was not going to be good. So my Orca ass crashed on the couch cracked my head just about open. What about the hair clip you say?!?! What clip? I was pulling little pieces out of my curly hair afterwards.
I guess I should feel lucky it didn't get logged into my head? I mean if you want to look at the piece of shit cup as half full and all. And better for me to be injured who has medical insurance then some big expensive vet bill from a dog with a cracked skull, broken legs, ribs and who knows possibly what else had I went straight down. I did say I'm a whale right? Would the poor dog even had survived? Then I would have to live with killing our dog and my kids hating me and reminding me that there fat mom fell on and killed their dog.
Is it bad that I'm slightly pissed that fall didn't get caught on video? That had to have been some funny crap to see. Nothing cool and beautiful like a whale breaching the water. But more like a total spaz who shouldn't be allowed to move around without her crash helmet and bubble wrap on!

Kid's Handbook or Mother's Handbook
In who's handbook is it writen that I cannot go into a bathroom and be alone to handle what ever business I may need to attend to? That the only place on this earth I can catch a few moments alone is the bathroom at work.
Your kids can't hear you when you tell them to pick up their mess, brush your corn teeth, let the dog out, rinse their plates. HOWEVER, they can be fully involved in anything anywhere in the house and they hear the quiet subtle click of the bathroom door closing and come running!
Suddnely there are pressing questions that just can't wait and where never thought of until that click was heard.
"Mom? How come the sky is blue? Can I come in? What are you doing? Will you play with me?" Seriously?!?! Did I tell you I had the BEST shower this Saturday at my sisters? Yep! I got to take a full shower uninteruppted. I can't even say when the time before that was.
There other thing that needs to be revised. Why if a child is in limb reach of you they must have a hand, foot what ever on you for NO APPARENT reason? Can I just sit on the couch in peace once in awhile. And can I have my "Personal space"? If their isnt' a limb then I have a kid attached to my side, sometimes both.
I'm not practicing staking my tomatoes! Go be free! "This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don't go into yours, you don't go into mine." I thought everyone knew this!
I need to know whose handbook this is written in find it and edit it! As I sit now I have two feet on me going back and forth between my arm and the computer. UGH! I'm about to loose my freaking mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so beyond TIRED!!!!!!!
Where to start! I have been working 11-12 hours every day at work, add commute time and I'm gone for about 14 hours a day Mon-Fri. Boy that pay check this week was nice, but I have not seen my family. I'm burned out and don't want to go to work. All this overtime and I'm still not caught up and will be doing the same again come next week.
That all being said. This means no I'm not unpacked. There are tons of boxes in my garage needing to be unpacked. A ton of laundry still to be done. Where is my Fairy Godmother? Cause the cat box needs to be cleaned the floors mopped, pictures hung. I could kiss my nurse that vaccumed the downstairs this morning and swept my kitchen.
Is it bad that I don't remember the last time my kids had a bath? Let alone the last time I gave them a bath? And there breath!!!!! OMFG!!!! KICKIN, doesn't even begin to explain it. There toothbrushes and toothpaste are unpacked. So, why? Why are their teeth not getting brushed? UGH! Can I make them each drink a bottle of Scope??? Or is that child abuse/endangerment?
I need like one full weekend of just sleep. Is that possible?? I wish!
FAIRY GODMOTHER WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?

All moved in!
For the most part that is! :-). And our first mortgage payment is due Aug 1! LOL! I'm surround by boxes and unable to park our cars in the garage because of more boxes. My kitchen is unpacked and that is about it. Yet for some strange reason I have yet to cook in my new kitchen!
Sorry pics are before flooring was put in.
In about 4 days of being moved in the girls managed to put a hole in the wall on the staircase and a big gash/dent on the landing of the staircase, UGH! It seems they have found a new use for their step stool. Which BTW is now taken away for the time being. They are launching toys down the stair case. Also standing on the stool on the 2nd floor dropping toys and who knows what else over the ledge. Head shaking!
So after this weekend we will be completely out of our old place. Have some yard toys that didn't make it in the truck and toys that the kids are too old for I need to run to the hospital and donate for their play room.
I hope to have most of the house unpacked by the end of the weekend and get some groceries in this house as well. Money has been flying out with us eating out so much for the last week. But we kind of knew that was gonna happen. But everyone is off schedule and we need to get back into the routine.
Check back for some more photos. Gwynne's room is all painted and done and we should have Connor and Chloe's done hopefully next weekend.

Lots to catch up on!
I kind of abandoned the blog for a bit. Things happen I guess. Well we are officially home owners as of last week. Next weekend is the big move. Doing some painting in the kids rooms today. I'm very excited about owning a home, but scared to hell as well. I think it is all the changes that are going to come with this move. But we will roll with the punches and enjoy our new home.
The kids will each have their own rooms. Not sure how well this is going to work with the girls. They seem excited, but they have shared a room since the day they came home. So I expect to find an extra body in one room or the other after we move in.
Packing SUCKS!!!! Only made worse by I have had to work a lot of extra hours at work. So Jason has had to kind of pick up the slack and do a lot of the packing. But I think we are on track to be ready for the move.
All of this compounded by me just being plain flat exhausted! Saw the doc and he thinks it could be my thyroid. Last blood test I guess it was okay but barely. So I may be adding another pill to my daily's. GREAT! I have really lost my spunk lately, so hopefully I will get that back way sooner then later.
Ok this post is really boring so I will leave it at that for now.

What Crap!
I have been part of a Triplet board(Was gonna put the link in but SCREW THAT!) pretty much since day one of finding out we were having triplets. The owners/mods are pretty non existent and have no clue what is going on around the boards. That is until someone sends them a message. WTF!
We all understand that sometimes the smaller person needs to be protected. I'm all for that. But you can only protect them so much. How many times do they get to kick around and stir up trouble for the more active long standing members??? How supportive can you be with excuse after excuse?
The situation did get out of hand. But when people's frustration is that high things are going to escalate.
I know a good part of what this person is going through. But don't get the reactions. Both my husband and I worked full time and had two of the three at home. We busted our ass to get our son home. A convalescent was never an option, and we did everything we needed to do. Jumped through every hoop the hospital wanted us to. Did we like it, no! But we understood why and knew it was best for Connor.
There have been more times then not that I didn't feel like I quit fit in on this triplet board. My situation was very different then everyone there. But I digested everything that was said. These parents had already paved the way for me, more of an expert then I was having triplets.
But I guess it comes down to who you are as a person. I don't like people telling me I can't do something, and I hate authority and love to make my own path and not be a sheep. I know what needs to get done and I do it. I suck it up and just freakin do it! There is no time for pity and crying about it. Everyone has their own problems in life and you don't need to make yourself one of their problems. Do your shit, do what is right by your family and eat a little crow if you have to in order to make that happen.
So I'm done. I'm not on this board that much anymore since the kids are older. But the people on the board really helped me through a very tough time with my kids. I was hoping to pay it forward. But this is the second time the owner has slapped me in the face. One too many times if you ask me.
And here I was trying to figure out if I was going to pay through the nose to go to the convention. Thank you Janet for making the decision for me! The answer is not just "NO!" but HELL NO!!!!!
