Kids can really make me laugh!

We finally did it!  I have always considered myself a dog person. We have had a few dogs over the years. However, for the past 8 years or so we have been dog-less.  I truly miss having a dog! I do not miss the puppy days: the chewing, house-breaking, etc...except for the puppy breath. Damn, I wish someone could bottle that smell! Yummy.

Recently we visited the ASPCA and walked out with a dilute calico 8 month kitten...I have never been so happy with our choice to bring a new family member into our home! Miss Skittles has brought all of us such joy!

We have been reading some books about kittens and cats to the little ones. And recently learned that they should be treated as lactose intolerant and as much as Miss Skittles may seem that she wants milk or dairy like products, it is best not to give her any, and trust me this is a hard thing to do...

So my #4 asked if I had ever caught Miss Skittle on the kitchen table after they had left for school and I replied of course I have! Why? Then #4 asked my if I had ever caught Miss Skittles eating her toast, which by the way-#4 eats every morning for breakfast, and I said, No. Why? Then she asked is it because Miss Skittles is lac-toast intolerant? Bwahahaha

I love kids!!

Did you really just ask that???

As many of you know, I had my left elbow completely reconstructed in January. It was pretty uncomfortable, to say the least! I had 4 c/sections-two were classical c/sections(I was cut up and down inside and out) and two nice little bikini cut c/sections. All 4 combined after surgery did not top the pain that one little surgery on my arm caused. I could sum it up on a scale of 1 to 10 as 100, yes, I know I sound like one of those crazy drug seeking patients, but really it was 100.

Maybe, it was due to the fact, I had my arm dislocated again, because in all seriousness it didn't hurt enough the first time, then they reset by bones, because even though they healed nicely the first time, they healed 1.5 inches away from each other, I got new ligaments from a cadaver because it turns out I had NO ligaments holding my arm in place. My favorite part of the surgery was all sorts of holes being drilled into my bones to suture the new ligament/tendons in place.....and I hate general anesthesia so I asked to be happily confused during the surgery until after they dislocated my arm I definitely remember screaming something like M-fer.....

A quick little public service announce- Never, Never Fall on Outstretched hands!!

Which finally brings me to: What did my kids say today? I have another follow up appointment in the am with Ortho.

1. Mom is that Dr. who always tries to pull out your arm of it's socket going try it again tomorrow?

2. Does the doctor actually know the dead guy who's ligaments/tendons you have?

3. Doesn't your new arm gave like a 5 year warranty?

I.love.my.kids!!!
