What a Beautiful Day

It was really lovely. Liam and I enjoyed some sunshine out front for a bit.
Gabe has a cold and is quite miserable.

I have watched two movies in the past few days.

Argo--I expected more. Maybe if I had watched it before the Oscar hype, but frankly, it was a little boring to me.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower--I loved it. I want to watch it again. I just liked it. It was more of a...sketch than a deep show, but it was really enjoyable. I like it more than the book. The book didn't really tickle my toes.

The bruise is one week old and big and ugly, and it makes my family cringe whenever they get a glimpse. My back STILL hurts. It's crazy. I ache during the day, and then at night, forget getting comfortable. It's just under my scapula, the pain, and I wish it would just stop already. I also noticed a big bruise on my knee. Their insurance company has been ignoring me since I asked for a rental. Or maybe they are investigating the guys claim that there two green lights. Ridiculous.

Anyway, it's late, and I have to somehow try to get comfortable enough to sleep.

It's supposed to turn cold again tomorrow. Does that make this March a lion or a lamb beginning? 

Still Cold

Really, it's Thursday and it still feels like winter! Nice.

I have not been doing the Tabata, due to the car accident. I don't want to push it. I ache like I did an amazing workout, but I think it's just muscle tension. The bruise is big and black and ugly, but it doesn't hurt. I hurt all around my sides, the muscles around my ribs, and when I lift my arms. I am curious to know why, but maybe they just tensed up to protect my body or something.

We can't really settle until I have my ER bill, but honestly, as far as the van, if it is totaled it was a 2000, so I don't know how much we will get for it. But, we'll make do, somehow. We may even just get a car. I prefer the van-it feels safer, and we can take everyone in it, but anywhere in town, we can just take two cars if we have to. It's annoying just having the truck, though. It'll be a long weekend, not being able to go anywhere.

The guy's insurance company said they haven't been able to get in touch with him, so they should have the police report tomorrow. It'd be nice to get a rental, even if it's just for a while. I know we probably can't get one until we get replace the van, but a bit of freedom would be good.

My dad over heard him in the gas station (right by where the accident occurred) yesterday, going on and on about how both lights were green, trying to get a witness, but then why is he avoiding his agent.

I do feel for the guy. Accidents and their repercussions are not pleasant or ever desired, but...

Anyway, I so long for a bath, but Gabe doesn't sleep very well, and what's the point, if I will just have to get out. I am working at Glendale tomorrow afternoon. I really need to work more. There are just all these appointments that get in the way.

Next week. I want a Monday afternoon, Wednesday afternoon, Thursday afternoon, and Friday afternoon.
Caleb has a Tuesday appt. and Wednesday is the only day I can work mornings now, but I going to get my fasting bloodwork done.:o(.

Anyway, I am tired and boring tongiht, so bye!

Wanna see something gross?

You must. You clicked...

Ignore the stretch marks. I usually wouldn't show them off, but knowing I am an overweight mom of five, you should have realized I'd have them!

I think that is where the arm rest on the door hit me. 

Goodbye

Goodbye my minivan. Hello discomfort and car sharing!
I was hit by someone who ran a red light. Thankfully, he hit the driver's side, and none of the babies were with me. Taryn is fine, and Madison is fine. I hurt. I went to the ER, but nothing really wrong, just pain. They said it'd be worse tomorrow. I hope to goodness that guy's insurance is good.
Can't really take anything with breastfeeding, but maybe tylenol or something.

Yawn. I hate the headache of insurance and finding another auto.

As we were leaving the ER, Tierney called and said Gabe had a game piece stuck in his mouth. We live less than five minutes away, so we came home, and it was indeed stuck. Went to urgent care, they couldn't get it easily, and were afraid it would go down his throat if he did, so we rode in an ambulance to the Er. The ER doc got it out in just a few seconds. I felt silly.

Glad to be home, though.

I am too beat to write more. Yawn.
