Quote from Devilmomma :
Ok, so finally got the whole scoop on mom today. Turns out the infection was in the bone and they had to take out quite a chunk of her bone. They took out the rod and inserted a rod that antibiotics run through. She will have to keep that in for 6 weeks and then have that removed. During those 6 weeks she will need to get antibiotics through an IV. Not sure yet if she'll have to stay in the hospital for the 6 weeks or if she'll be able to come home (depends on what medical assistance she can receive). And not sure if after they take this rod out, if they'll be putting in a permanent one. I'd assume they will, so she will be out of commission another couple weeks after that.

They are trying to attack this infection pretty agressively to save the leg, that's why the IV antibiotics for 6 weeks.

Mom lives with us and watched the kiddos while I worked. I need to find care for the kiddos now, so I can get back to work. Not so easy when everyone works. Looks like my Target savings will be going for daycare now.

And to top it all of, my damn washer took a crap today!! Of course it couldn't quit after it emptied, it had to die when it was full of water!! Why do they do that?!?!
Sorry about your Mom, I am glad they are being agressive though. I wished I lived a little closer to you, I would watch the kids for you.

DS - I was looking through the August ESR book from Walgreens - are you using Humulin insulin? There's a $5 MIR form in the booklet, page 44, but have to get the script filled at Walgreens.
Humalog and Novalin but I think Humulin is the same as Novalin, just different manufacturers

Same here DM. You could drop them here but it's 4 hours away. I have a lot of toys though. Stormy is closer and she has double the amount of toys


OK now from catching up I have some hope you guys will get dupes!

The kid was up all night. So glad I didn't go to Target. Started crying around 10, go in, he's dripping snot and coughing flem. Fantastic. Calm him down, leave the room, 20 minutes later, same thing. AT midnight I just moved in a pillow and blanket so every time he started whimpering I could say mommas here and he went back to sleep. His carpet smells and is not soft at all, the only carpet in our house so we forget about it. Gotta remember to tell DH to clean it.
Anyway, I'm tired today so forgive if I don't sound coherent. We are heading out to the pedi in about 45 min. I'm going to take a separate car so I can go to WAGS.

Quote from shop247mom :
Has anyone that didn't get a confirmation email from borders, but yet have pending charges check your order status? I have a paypal charge that actually says completed when you click on details, and a amex gc charge for same order. First time I got a message saying to check the payment info, so I assumed that since this order was under DHs name & email, that my paypal card must be to blame since the name doesn't match, so I did it again w/ my amex gc! Almost did it again when I got the same message before I thought to check the account balances on both! Anyway, when I checked my order status on borders, it said I had never placed an order on that account. Wondering if that's what everyone else's is saying.
yep, that happened to me on sunday and monday - i had 3 charges exactly like what you describe. no confirmation anywhere on the website or in email that the order was placed, but charges sitting 'pending' in my bank account. however they did fall off today, so i'm glad i didn't call about it.

What is it about appliances breaking down right in the middle of their cycle?! Once had a dryer have the motor blow just after I turned it on. So ... small house, no laundry line outside, what to do with a HUGE load of sopping wet clothes?! shake head
i know this is going to sound ghetto.. but i already do this with our laundry and linens because the apartment dryers are so expensive -
if you can get ahold of a clothesline, you can attach it to your shelves and hang your clothes on it to dry. for stuff like blankets and bed sheets, leave bedroom doors and such open and hang one on each (after the part on the door is dry, rotate it so the hanging wet part is on the door).
if clothesline or shelvings aren't in convenient place to hang one on, hang your clothes on every hangable surface you can think of. doors, shower curtain rods, edge of tub, towel racks.. you can even hang on door handles if you're really desperate. Big Grin



news on borders -
got 3 shipping emails that most of my books have shipped, including 5 books that were backordered. i was completely shocked since i was expecting a big fat red 'cancellation'!
so.. only 9 of 55 books waiting to ship. woot

i had a hard time debating whether to do this one big order, or a bunch of smaller ones. between the extremely slow website and weighing the odds of 'staying under the radar with a bunch of small orders' i went for broke with just 1 order. i also didn't have only free books, or all free books + 1 not free. total was $26.94.
this was definitely worth all the time and frustration of the last 4 days!! Big Grin

unfortunately no more chance for duplicates/ triplicates here. my pending charges from the other orders fell off. really was hoping to help some of you out that couldn't get in if they'd actually shipped. Frown

yep, that is exactly what she's talking about. mine didn't go through, but the fact hers did means there is still hope for you if you've got charges pending. bounce
