Hey guys,

Just thought i would say Hi and let you know how I am doing. First and most

of all, I am BORED, BORED, BORED!! I a have been doing good at keeping off

my foot, I just hate sitting here and doing nothing just when there is so

much that needs done around here.

has been absolutely wonderful and understanding that I just cant jump

up and do things for him when he wants. This has been great for his

independence. For example, before I always had to go get him his clothes and

practically put them all on for him. Well, he has been getting out his own

outfits and getting himself dressed with minimal fussing. This morning

however, he did not want to go to school and was trying to negotiate staying

home by saying he needed to take care of me. It was a a very sweet thing for

him to say, I know, however he did go to school.

Mike picked up at school yesterday and then they went to Rose's (a

K-mart type place) and they got me this great pig bean bag chair to put my

foot on so I dont always have to have my foot sticking straight out on the

couch. it was only 10 bucks, not a bad deal, and when my foot heals

can have it to use.

Oh, and 's teacher e-mailed to tell me that he got a student of the

week award this week when he went to guidance. He NEVER gets these kinds of

awards. I am so proud of him!!

Jacquie, you were posting about all the amazing things that happened when

broke his arm, and the improvements he was having, I guess in my case

it took Me breaking MY ankle to have such an amazing week with

....LOL....go figure.

Anyone that has fun or neat mindless timekilling games that they enjoy on

the net feel free to send the links to me privately--getting sick ogf the

bingo already.

Oh yeah. I remember those days. When I got enough better I would

scoot around the house on my fanny so I could clean up the floor and

fold clothes and stuff. For now though, if your dh brought it to you

you could fold, sort socks, or ick!, do paperwork. How about going

through the sales and coupons and putting a shopping list together

and a menu for the week? Also boring, but stuff you can do sitting

down.

Do you like to crochet? or handwork? We like puzzles here. We do

them on the table and then put a sheet of vinyl over it for a

tablecloth. There's always movies and books. That was really the

last time I've read much but I did enjoy reading. If you are on the

computer you can always see if I'm on and IM me. I use AIM:

EGCJsmom and yahoo IM: egcjssmom.

Wow. That's super. I'm still getting Chris's stuff out for school.

He gets play clothes out but not school clothes. What a sweetie.

Great plan. I just used all the pillows from the bed. The beanbag

would have been a fantastic idea.

Hey - welcome back, !

You sound like you are doing well, boredom aside. ly, I'd give up a

good sum of money to be so bored LOL. That is not to say I am never bored

cause sometimes, I am. Sheesh, sometimes, I get bored even when I'm busy,

go figure. But to be completely bored all day long would be nice LOL!!!

So.... I take it that if I break my leg, my children will learn to help

themselves. If I break all limbs on my body - - then my children might

speak... or heck, if I break my spine too - then i might cure autism!!! WOO

HOO!! ) I'm glad to hear that is doing so well though.

As for games... I like some games on MSN. There is Double Trouble, which is

fun - and then there is Bejeweled, which is addictive and also fun. You

could also go and play Who Wants to be a Millionaire online LOL - and the

Weakest Link. There's plenty to do online! Get to it!!

When does your leg complete the healing process?

Having a little break IS nice, and I have to giggle to myself just a little

while dh does all the dishes and laundry and stuff like that he does not

appreciate the work it takes to keep up on it. Really though, he is being

great for somebody who complains when he has to do ANYTHING for himself

Ok, Grace, I can just see it now, You, tearing around the house in a

motorized wheelchair chasing the girls and yelling at them and trying to

get them to co-operate and behave....LOL!!!
