The Toddler has Landed!!!!!

First off, and update on my knee.  It's sprained and although it has improved since Monday, I can only walk around for a short period of time before it starts to ache and get stiff.  Sooo I'm off work until Monday.  However if it has not signifigantly improved by Sunday, 'm going to urgent care.

Anyhoo, onto today's topic.

My 2 1/2 year old niece came over this morning. My parents and myself are going to be babysitting her until Tuesday.  This will be the longest she's been away from her parents, so things could get hairy.  She was a ball of energy today but had a couple of surly moments.  Oh and I forgot to mention that she's just started potty training so the day has been filled with runs back and forth to the "pee pee potty."  These runs have included a LOVELY song that my mom taught her and sings along with her.

We pee pee pee on the pot pot pot
We poo poo poo on the pot pot pot
We pee on the pot and we poo on the pot
We pee and poo on the pot pot pot.

Okay it's cute to hear her sing it, but my mom doesn't exactly have the best singing voice so it ends up sounding like someone is squeezing a cat.

Got a rare oppertunity to watch Big Bang Theory tonight.  I usually work Thursday evenings so I end up downloading the episode after work on Friday (yup, I work 12:30-9pm on Thurs evenings and then 'm back in for 7am-3:30.. Great big Ball of Suck!)  I LOVE Sheldon!!  Just thought I'd throw that out there.  He's, by far, my fav character with Leonard and Penny in a close second. 

Tried to teach my niece the Soft Kitty Song.  She liked the tune, so I'll just have to keep singing it to her until she picks it up... then I will record it and put it on YouTube for everyone to awww over, hahaha!!!

That's all I've got for now. 
Please comment, send me questions... ANYTING!!! 
Trust me. My life is not that exciting, and I need topics to talk about.

L8tr!

Like I really Knee-ded this

So I attempted my 8 hour shift at work yesterday...didn't happen.  Less than an hour into my shift, my knee started to feel stiff, like it was swelling up... wonderful!!!  I told them at work that I would try and stick around until the next girl came in so my co-worker wouldn't be left alone (this was at 8am and the next person was supposed to be in for 9:30)

So I'm waiting for the next person to arrive when I'm told she had to take her daughter for an x-ray and she'd be a bit late.  No biggie, I'll just plop myself on a chair at the fitting room desk and wait.  She finally got there around 11am, through no fault of her own.  There was a miscommunication and she was sent to the wrong x-ray place. So I went home and iced my knee.

By last night my knee started to ache. Not horribly, but enough to be annoying, so I decided that I would call into work for today and call my doctors.

Onto today.  Woke up at 6:50 to call into work.  Went back to sleep until 8:55 and then called my doctors office and left a message right at 9am.  Got a call back 20 mins later telling me that since they only worked untilnoon, all of the available appointments had already been taken up... CRAP! 

I have 2 options at this point.  1. Go to urgent care and wait for god-only-knows how many hours to be seen, or 2.  Call into work tomorrow and try to get into my doctors (they work a full day tomorrow so I`d definetly get an appt)

I don`t really know what to do at this point.  Sitting in bed with my knee propped up is getting really old, really fast.  I already did this gig 3 years ago when I tore my ACL.  BORING!!!!

OH! And  forgot to mention that as of 8am tomorrow morning, I`ll have my niece at my house for 6 days.  She`s 2 and a half and his will be the longest she's been away from mummy and daddy, so things could get really hairy.

Well that's about all I've got for now.  Hopefully my next entry will have more pleasant news to share with you.

Welcome all!

Welcome to my Blog!!!

I'm just gettung started so I don't have much here but bear with me and I'll do my best to post as frequently as I can,hopefully with something insghtfull to talk about or just something to make you laugh.

To get started, I`ll talk about my wonderfull, injury filled, weekend.

So I went to an Indy wrestling show put on by Alpha 1 Wrestling.  I had an awesome time, screaming my head off and joining in on some heckling.  One of the wrestlers there was former WWE, ECW, TNA star Rhino, which was too awesome!!  During Rhino`s match, he got tossed into a bunch of chairs right behind me.  I went to move back out of the way but reached forward to grab my bag from my chair, and that`s when he hit the chairs.  Needless to say, the front edge of my chair smashed me hard in the knee... OUCH!!!  The best part was, I recorded all of it on my celphone, hahahaha!!

After the show, I had to hurry out to my friend`s place to watch WWE Elimination Chamber PPV.  It started to snow really bad on the way out so driving was a bit treacherous.  My friend lives out in the country on a chicken farm, and when I arrived, there was a fine layer of snow on the ground.  I grabbed my stuff and headed up to the door.  Just as I passed her car, my foot hit a patch of ice, I let out a yelp, and I hit the ground.  Another friend has just arrived and heard me yelp. He shouted aloud if I was okay and all I could answer was Ì`m Down!!!`Hahahahaha!!

Needless to say, I woke up this morning with a rather sore knee.  Not from the chair hit, but from the ice slip.  I managed to twist it and didn`t realize I did it until I tried to walk around this morning. Thank goodness today was a holiday, Family Day.  The real test will be if I can walk around for an 8 hour shift tomorrow... That will be fun.

Anyhoo, that`s all I have for this post.  If you have any questions for me, please feel free to ask.

Thanks for Reading!!!
