My mother fell last night and broke her femur and hip. She’ll have surgery this afternoon and they’re putting in a metal rod. A few days in the hospital, a few weeks in a rehab facility and then months of physical therapy.

So coworker and Smokey are both out today, so its just me....again. Then I get an email from coworker because I forwarded her the email from Smokey about taking her dog to the vet and she says, "geezus, we're all such messes."
uh, no bitch, I showed up. I ALWAYS show up. Don't lump me in with y'alls slackin' asses!

This is totally selfish, but I’m pissed. She came over for dinner last night and had wine. She must have drank a shit ton more after she got home because the paramedics said she couldn’t even form a sentence.
Only 1 person can be in her room at a time so I can’t take the kids to see her. We drove all they way up here just so she could see the kids, since it had been a couple years.
Wtf.

Oh no [mention]tgrimes [/mention] do you think the hospital might make an exception so you take one kid at a time.

tgrimes I'm sorry, that sucks. Sucks that your mom injured herself so badly and sucks that the kids don't get to see her more during this trip. Do they know how she fell and hurt herself?

Sooooo dd was home from school today. School being open becoming a thing of when the stars align, by gods grace and when no-one has a cold. Aka almost never…
Ds has a sub tomorrow he really doesn’t like (that’s something with ds…) and to make matters worse the girls are going to my parent, the best place in the world for them… I’m seriously considering not sending him. Which completely goes against my believe of ‘school is non negotiable’…. I’m at a loss for what is the smart thing to do here…

During his conferences his teacher told me everytime she has a sub, they complain about his behavior 😒 🙄

She told the paramedics that she fell getting up off the couch. She told my sister she was getting out of bed to go to the bathroom and fell.

During the last three weeks he has had more subs than his own teachers…

But he's also still little, and with a sub he likely won't miss anything. I would let him go and tell him it's a special day off because of his birthday, or some other reason he's being rewarded, and that this is only a special once in a while thing.

jewels you’re so right, he is still so little and these times are so challenging for them too. Thank you. ETA his birthday was three weeks ago, so that won’t fly, but yes to the other things 😉.

Shit. tgrimes That’s sucks so much for everyone. Hope the surgery and recovery goes well. While most of your time may be spent at the hospital, please try to take moments to enjoy your sister and her family. You both need a break. Hugs.

I second jewels. Let him have a mental health day. If he is over it it may do him some good to have a day off of worrying about being at school with a sub.

Morning.
M2 had the Monday blues. He did not want to get up this morning. He kept trying to go back to sleep. We ended up staying in our pajamas yesterday because it was cold and rainy all day, so I guess he was just feeling lazy. I know how he feels because I’m in a rut, too. I’m going to the gym soon and I’m hoping that gives me a boost.

C and L are getting their first covid shot today. Bit nervous because they had flu shots yesterday and L did not do well at all. Today I'm taking them to my work so hopefully a more kid friendly environment will help.

This. Cadence swears the flu shot needle is bigger.

Idk what it is, but I've looked at all the black Friday ads and I'm just not seeing anything I want to give people. Actually, not even just black Friday ads. I have no clue what to get anyone. I may be a last minute shopper this year.

Sweet baby Jesus you need a break tgrimes. Your mom sure is paying a helluva price for that bad decision. Woof. And yes, please take some time to relax with your sister. Could you possibly stand outsid the room with 1 kid while the other goes in and switch out? Or they can't be on the ward at all?
