Ta-Da!

Isn't she pretty in pink?

Turns out, Spenser's leg is fractured. (I knew it! A mother knows! ... "Have her walk on it!" Ha!!!!) Her leg has a buckle fracture below the knee. Ouch.

She has to wear the cast for three weeks. She has asked me to take it off three times.

She's doing well with her cast. Still not walking. Still being waited on hand and foot. Wearing me out. I am sore in places I didn't know I had.

Joe comes home today from spending the week in Massachusetts. She can't wait to show her daddy her new pink leg.

i'm not surprised. something had to be pretty bad for such an active girl to refuse to walk. cute pink leg. i've heard casts can be pretty itchy and annoying so i'm sure she'll be glad by the time it comes off. too bad she's too young to understand what it three weeks means. she may be asking to take it off many times before then.

Awww poor girl! I have to say I'm not surprised either since she was refusing to put any weight on it. But at least now you know and she can get all healed up. And YAAA on Joe coming home!

Well, what a relief to finally know what the problem is. The not seeing a broken bone immediately thing is really a problem.

Oh Spenser! I'm glad they FINALLY figured out what's wrong. How in the world did she break her leg anyway? Hope you can hold out for three weeks as well. I'm sure she'll start hobbling around soon.

I kinda knew it too, but I didn't want to be all negative to you if you didn't want to hear it.

Tell her her cast is VERY stylish!! Hope it heals quickly.

I think you've got a diva on your hands there. Good thing she's so cute :) Stay strong, Lera - when that cast is off, you have her wait on you for a while.

Hey, it's only fair.

Well Spenser has done something I've never done - broken a bone, that is. Poor girl. I'm glad she's up moving around for daddy.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
