Good morning world....
What a flipping week.....i don't know what i did in a former life but this is ridiculous!!!!
It all started on monday morning,i got up at daft 'o'clock and everything was right with the world and i was full of the joys of spring.....and then,the kids got up...and all hell broke loose...I had a morning of fights and arguements before they even sat down to their breakfast.to be honest i was glad that they went to school,i was tearing my hair out by the time it was 8.30am...and by 9.00am i was calm.......
The postman came at around 10am and bought me a copy of simply knitting...and after thumbing through the magazine i fell completely in love with the frog prince...but at the minute i don't have any green wool so i ordered and paid for some on E-Bay and decided to get out the knitting machine and make a start on an order that i had got over the web....i have never made a slipover for a girlie but i thought carefully about the colours and pattern and bit the bullet and made it...... I admit that i was biting my lip a bit with concentration,my hubs spent most of the morning teasing me because i looked so funny......it took me 3 hours to make this and then another 4 hours on the needles to do the rib on the armholes and neck...but thats by the by...
At 3.15 it all went pear shaped.......My little one was late out of junior school.I had to nip to the postoffice and mail some parcels and then i had to be home to cook dinner all before 4pm....Monday is the evening that my youngest goes to scouts and from 3.15pm until its time for him to go he's excited and like a cat on hot bricks!!!!
Anyway i got home at around 3.45pm my little one was puffed out by the time we got home..I opened the front door to arguements and shouting by my 14 year old having a hissy fit over a romote control car battery...and moaning that hubs had said no to the battery until his homework was done....My hubs looked at me and said that i needed to have a look at the daughter.....It wasn't until i saw her crying in the living room i understood excatly what he was on about...
My daughter looked upat me and said in a definite voice,"if you think i'm going to hospital you can think again!!!"On asking her what she had done...it turned out that she had slipped over during her walk to chemistry class and her foot had gone over at a weird angle...she heard and felt a snap,and well that was that!!!!
Managed to get tomas(my little one) sorted,done and dusted,and had the rest of the evening having my daughter moaning and grumbling about the pain in her foot....PAIN IN HER FOOT!!!MORE LIKE PAIN IN THE ARSE!!!,She even managed to spend all night and i do mean all night moaning in her sleep...she let out a scream at 3am,as she turned over in bed and hit her foot.....
Tuesday morning came round and as they all got up one by one,i fed them made them wash(yep even the teenage boy which is a flipping miracle!!!He must have a girlfriend again...)and get ready for school,and then i turned to my daughter and told her in nouncertain terms she was going to hospital or she could walk to school!!!The problem was that her foot was sooo swelled that she couldn't even get her socks on!!!Took her to accident and emergency at the Norwich and Norfolk university Hospital,and waited,,thankfully i took my knitting with me...i was trying to finish a pair of socks,,but still haven't yet!!!!we were called into the nurses station and then sent for X-Ray...they wouldn't let me in with her for X-Ray...i was a bit put out but what can i do????We went back to the main reception in A&E and waited,and waited,and waited....We finally got called in by some rude doctor,who seemed to think that we weren't worth his time or trouble...so i was put on the defensive,,they explained that robyn had broken a bone in the arch of her foot ,they weren't going to put her in plaster but a pressure boot instead so that they could see how much the bone would move and then told us that we would have to return the next day...
When i got back to the carpark and started up the car...i looked at the windscreen and there was a crack.....I got that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach and thought what the hell did i do to deserve this?????But it was only a minute crack...so i would decide to suck it and see what would happen,,
Wednesday morning was actually quiet and peaceful...no arguements,no bickering,no miseries in the morning,,,so robynand i got in the car,,,and there was the bloody crack...it has crept a little but not a lot,it was only about 2" long and right in the bottom corner of the windscreen....i still have that sinking feeling as a new windscreen for a fiat multipla is £895.00!!!!
Got to the hospital AGAIN and the doctor had a quick poke and prod and said that things were fine and he didn't want to put robyn in a cast as it would make the break unstable...so we went home and in all that time sat in A&E and in the Fracture clinic i STILL havn't managed to get these socks done,,,if i don't get them finished soon i shall put them to one side and start again in
6 months when i have got time!!!
Got home with the crack getting bigger and bigger and bigger,the pit of my stomach was getting sicker and sicker,knowing that i would have to tell hubs...about this.....I bit the bullet when i got home,he had a look and laughed,i asked him what was going on....and he said he already knew about this...he'd done it about 5 days ago and hadn't plucked up the courage to tell me,he thught i would freak!!!
So,its thursday morning,i am poised to make another slipover,i've got a half of a sock on my dpn's,a hat on a pair of circ's and my daughter robyn sitting in the living room watching T.V With a snotty cold and a broken foot,with the sound of snot being sniffed ringing in my ears,,and for once all is fine.....but i better not get too used to this....i know,i just know that something else is going to jump up and bite me!!!
SEE? I TOLD YOU I WAS CURSED!!!!
