Yep, I said that out loud. Mom needs training wheels while she is walking! The other day her and daddy went out to dinner – who would have thought that I know – snorts. When leaving the restaurant, mom was so concerned about guiding daddy so he wouldn’t trip that she didn’t see this boulder on the ground. Now that is her word – boulder. I’m sure it wasn’t actually that big. She hit the ‘boulder’ with her shoe. Did I mention that she had on these really cute sandals that had openings to show her toes with their cute little pedicure colors? She tripped, stumbled and thank goodness daddy was holding her hand so she didn’t fall down. So there she is stumbling while daddy is singing, “I’ll tumble for you” by Boy George – shakes piggy head. That’s the good part. The bad part you ask? Well, her big toe found the ‘boulder’. She broke her toe nail, messed up her cute little pedicure and jerked her body from almost falling. So as she tells daddy, she now has a catch in her giddy up. Shakes head. Only my mother huh?
So now mom has a catch in her giddy up, a messed up pedicure and guess who else wants to come out and play? Mean old Mr. Arthritis. She is also having a bad flare up with pain due to this weather that belongs in hell. Yes I said it. Hell. It pushes the high 90’s every day. When we get rain, it just makes things more steamy afterwards. And it feels like we can never get the Hotel Thompson cool enough. Daddy says he feels the power company lowers the power around 5pm every day. Maybe it’s that or too many people turn their thermostats down during that time? hhhmm – it makes you wonder doesn’t it? Either way, even with fans you just can’t cool down and the heat is messing with mom’s arthritis.
So there you go. You have my mom who is the stumbling toe cruncher catch in her giddy up hurting from the heat from arthritis gal at this moment. Does that paint a picture for you? Please send her some healing vibes and prayers this way if you don’t mind. She’s having a hard time getting up and moving and standing and sitting. Snorts – pretty much she has the trifecta of pain these past couple of days. I’m hoping that this weekend she can get plenty of rest and some extra tender loving care from daddy and all of us anipals.
And tomorrow – oh joybells – we so can’t wait here. We can’t be late for a very important date. Mommy is expecting a phone call from someone here on blogville that is almost like a sister to her… someone that we have spoke to via blogville a LOT but never by phone They are calling tomorrow at 2:30 pm our time. We are ALL excited to talk to these peeps.
Can you guess who it will be? We will post about it next week. YAY!
