This whole thing with my hand is getting a little annoying but I finally have a 13 Thursday.

13 things I can do one-handed.

  1. Wash my face
  2. Take a shower
  3. Wash my daughter's hair
  4. Comb and braid my daughter's hair
  5. Wash dishes
  6. Drive a car
  7. Get on the computer (can't go a day without blogging)
  8. Wash clothes
  9. Hang clothes on the clothesline
  10. Make the bed (putting new sheets and everything on the bed)
  11. Get ice out of the tray
  12. Go grocery shopping
  13. Take the garbage out.
I know you guys have heard about my hand plenty and I am thinking about taking the wrap off tonight so there might be pictures later.

Works For Me Wednesday

Button This week I have a weird one. What is working for me this week are kitchen gloves and plastic bags. (I told you it was weird)

Since I can't get my hand wet I have had to use a plastic bag to keep my hand dry. It feels weird and makes it a little hard to wash my daughter's hair but it works. The kitchen gloves are for, well, the kitchen. This is the first time that I have ever used kitchen gloves. I am not one to use gloves I need to feel what I am washing.

What works for you?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!

I hope all you ladies had a great mother's day. Mine, it was a little painful. I have learned that i can do a lot of things one handed, though. I am going to try and list them on Thursday (13 Thursday ) but we will see how i feel by then. I am off to bed have to work tomorrow and will be there all day so i will need my sleep.

sunday scribbings # 110

Forgive me if it takes awhile to read this, I'm trying to type with a bad hand.


The telephone. It's a great invention. i don't know what I would do without it. There's so many good and bad things about it that it's hard to pick one moment in time that is just the moment for me.

There was the call i made to my father telling him about my boyfriend (at the time), telling him him his (they are the same age by the way). Or maybe it was the phone call telling my family that i was pregnant. That was a call i know my mother was waiting for. True she has four grand kids already but i am still her daughter. doesn't every mother want that for her daughter? to experience the ups and downs of being pregnant? the labor? and then holding that little bundle of joy?

those are the good phone calls, for me anyways. but there are a few that i am not looking forward to. there's the call, that will be coming, telling me that my grandmother (my last grandparent by the way) has passed. i know that it is coming but i also know that when it comes i will not be ready. i will drop the phone, i will cry and not be able to tell my daughter "what is wrong with mommy".

Because of this, i think, it's one of the reasons that i answer the phone "someone better be in the hurt" when my phone rings at odd hours of the day/night.

It's D-day

I am just hours away from D-day. Well two of them. First I am "working" all alone at Sam's tomorrow. It will be just me, Savie and at least 3 other kids. I will also be there Mon and Tues by myself. I think I will be ok, I have been there for going on 3 weeks now and feel comfortable being there and taking care of the kids. I am mentally making myself ok with this. Wish me luck.

The second thing, and not even scary to me, is having my hand taken care of. I have finally decided that I will just have it taken out. I'm trying to plan my weekend (Farmer's Market, dinner, etc) but it's hard since I don't know what to expect. You know how long before I can use my hand, how much is it going to hurt, stuff like that. But I think it will be ok. I need to go to bed and be ready for Friday for the kids!!!!

BLINDSIDED

I have been blindsided. I love being on my computer. I love looking things up, hopping around the different blogs, adding pictures. But I think I will have to stop for awhile.

A couple of days ago I noticed a lump on the back of my left hand but didn't think much of since it didn't hurt. But then this morning I reached for something and had shooting pain in the hand. I almost dropped a pen. I figured that by the time I went back to pick up Savie from school that it would be ok but that wasn't the case. I took us to the ER to get it looked at and it turns out that I have a Ganglion Cyst on my left hand. I still have an appt. tomorrow so hopefully we will know something. Keep your fingers crossed.
