Mindless Jibber-Jabber

a new dishwasher, a trip to the ER and other stuff..........

OK, first of all....the new dishwasher is GORGEOUS!!!  I am in love with it.  It is white, and has a beautiful wooden top, and buttons.........oh how I love buttons on kitchen gadgets. LOL   Silly huh??  But seriously, this might be one of the top 3 days of my life (1. when I married my husband 2. the day Noah was born, and 3. getting the new dishwasher)  It is portable, and I have never had a portable one before, so after hubby found out how to use it he showed me, and guess what?? THIS THING IS SO EASY TO USE!!!  I am super excited! 

Now, about the trip to the ER.  My husband is awesome first of all.  He works for the city in the internet department.  I will often find out (after he arrives home safe and sound) that he was on top of a roof or worse, a really high tower installing an internet dish for a customer or business.  He has never fallen (Thank you Lord for keeping my husband safe) off a tower or a roof!!!  Monday, while working on a small 2 foot ladder running some cable for a new internet dish (moonlighting after hours on his own), he fell off the ladder, twisting his ankle and cutting up his arms.  He came home complaining about how badly it hurt  (I love him, but you just don't even know how big of a baby this man can be when he is sick or hurt.  LOL And believe me, he milks it for all he can too. LOL)  I told him last night I have had many twisted ankles and once when they thought I had even broken it and never whined that much. LOL (I have weak ankles and used to twist mine at least once a week when I was growing up!!! )  He went to the ER this morning by himself (calling the ER when he parked and asking them to please bring him a wheel chair.  LOL  He walked from the house to the car, but then thought he needed a wheelchair to get inside the hospital.  He is so funny sometimes.  Oh, BTW, don't think I am being too disrespectful by not going and holding his hand.  He wouldn't let me because the dishwasher was supposed to be delivered and he was also so excited about it that he wouldn't let me leave the house to accompany him to the ER! LOL) and after xrays the Doctor told him it was a really bad sprain and he should not bear weight on it for a week.  He called his boss to tell her and she said ok, then you can come answer phones for the rest of the week!    (No offense, but thank you Lord for taking him back to work tomorrow.  LOL  He is driving me crazy with all the, can you get my fuzzy socks, my feet are cold , then waiting until I am sitting down again and asking if I could get him a drink, waiting until I sit down again and saying, it is too cold in here, can you turn off the air, waiting until I sit down and *Deep Breath here*................ok, you get the idea right??? It got so bad that he kicked me out of the house this afternoon.  LOL  We were driving each other crazy and he couldn't leave easily, so I went for a drive and ran some errands.  LOL  Aren't we funny??)

And the other stuff is, I have found the perfect sewing table.  It is big enough for the sewing machine adn a few little things and has baskets underneath that can hold all the fabric I have (at least I think most of the fabric I have in my collection) in.  It is really pretty.  I am still trying to talk Matthew into letting me spend the money on it though. He was planning on buying my birthday present for me while we are gone next weekend in the city for our anniversary, but I am trying to talk him into letting me pick out my own present.  He thinks it is more important to buy me a gift that is from the heart (even if I don't like it....yes he actually said that), instead of buying something I have specificially picked out myself and know I will like ahead of time.  LOL  Isn't that a little backwards??? Dont' you hear most of the time about girls who want their husband's to buy them something from the heart instead of a vaccum cleaner or blender???  LOL  I used to be like that I suppose.  I have changed over the years!

Anyway.  I have had a busy day babying Matthew and his swollen ankle (it was the prettiest shade of black purple earlier when I checked on it and rewrapped it) and running after Noah who now thinks instead of being two that he is an adult who can do anything that we do, and shopping for a few items, running some errands, trying to be counselor to a girlfriend who is having some problems, being the Avon lady when Jen stopped by to pick up her order, and then going to see my chriopractor and counselor tonight.  I have had a busy day and as I am writing this last sentence, my eyes are getting droopy! LOL  Talk to you all soon.

I'm glad that it was just a two foot ladder that your hubby fell off of! Congrats on the dishwasher....convertible, huh? I'll have to check into that. :)

I'm so excited for you and your dishwasher!! I remember when we first moved into the house and all the appliances were new, I'd just sit and stare at how pretty my kitchen was. LOL Sorry about your DH being hurt. I think it's hysterical though that he wouldn't let you go with him because the dishwasher was being delivered! Can we see pics of the sewing table when you get it!?

Thank you for your kind words to my latest post. I really needed to hear it. Truly. I think a lot of my problem is just sleep deprivation and it's causing me not to handle any amount of stress well. I never thought to even be grateful for medicine and what it has done to help my children - esp. my asthmatic son. Thank you for helping me realign my thoughts. I truly appreciate it.

I was LOL'ing at your story of you and your hubby buttin' heads. Sometimes that happens when my hubby is home for a period of time, but it's not too bad. I just have to clean more, LOL. But it's worth it to have him home, ya know? God knew what He was doing when He created woman as man's help meet. He knew man would need it! ;) God has equipped us in such different ways it's unbelievable!

Anyhoo, thank you again and I pray you have a blessed weekend and that your hubby's ankle heals quickly!
