All the animals love her. Mellow was a bit protective today. Kinsleigh is kinda afraid of her. LOL
So I'm making this home-made mobile for above Elly's crib. So I've been working on that as I can.
In the middle of me working on it, DB rushed into the room and said "Gimme the house phone" ... so I did. He goes "I gotta call 9-1-1, Aaron fell!" Aaron is our neighbor. He has a lot of medical stuff going on. He can barely walk on his own - he needs a walker. He has a medal plate in his head, towards the front, and brain damage. The story is he was in a really bad car accident. The kids all love him to pieces. He has crazy inappropriate stories, he swears a lot, but he's a good time. We all love him and look out for him. DB had to break into Aaron's room yesterday morning (while I was at the boys appointments) because he fell out of bed and couldn't get up, and the door was locked. So he broke in through his bedroom window and got him off the floor.
Today - the story was - Aaron opened up his apartment door and looked to see if UPS left him a package, they didn't. So he turned around in the doorway to go back inside, and instead, with his back in the doorway - facing into the apartment - he lost his balance and fell backwards. He was half in and half out of the doorway, and he - literally - cracked his head. His head was in a pool of blood, I have pictures, but not going to share. Kaedyn was on the sidelines, extremely concerned about him. His caretaker had run out real quick for meds, and came back after the ambulance arrived.
DB ended up taking his caretaker down to the hospital (literally a few minutes away - just down the street, one turn, and down that street) ... and he couldn't remember how to get there, so DB took him down there...
Elly is starting to get some bad baby acne....
More on the elephants for the mobile ....
So I'm making a homemade mobile for above Elly's crib. A bunch of homemade, hand sewn elephants .... my elephants are ... cute, but ... totally - ya know - horrible. At least you can tell they are elephants. But I'm telling you that - the FIRST person who says "oh that looks so cute and homemade" .... I'm gonna take it as an insult. So what if it's true. It's like saying "Bless her heart..." in the south, what they mean is what a stupid bitch. And what you are saying by telling me it looks homemade is - that should be burned. Burned with a thousand spiders. See. Insult.
I'm looking at the ibuprofen and realized .... there was something wrong. It is neither meltaway OR chewable..... I looked at Dennis and I yelled "YOU HAD ONE JOB" ... and he looks at me all scared I'm turning into my angry white woman self. "What?" he goes. "Ibuprofen that Noah can take" cuz he can't swallow pills. He says "It says grape!" (rolls eyes) ... "I thought if it says grape, it was chewable" .... I look at him, "If I can't break it with my fingers and have to use the pill cutter, it's not chewable. You had one job." He looks sad and says .... "No I had three, I didn't get the ibuprofen right, I made dinner and burned it, and I was supposed to watch the dogs and the Jax thought the potatoes for balls I failed today, but that's okay - tomorrow is another day, and I'll fail then too....."
And yes, I'm aware that under the 24 in the tiny print it says chewable.... but I had DB believing that it didn't ..... and that was the most fun!
