Friday :::whiiiiiiine:::

I got my stitches out this morning, and I was hoping to hear "Oh, looks great! No more walking boot, you can shower normally, no more dressing it, and resume activities as normal!"
That is NOT what I heard.
I heard "Ew, it's looking a little yellow, and it's not completely healed, so you'll need to be EXTRA EXTRA careful now so you don't rip open what's healed so far, so no holiday shopping, no holiday cooking, stay off your foot as much as you possibly can for at least the next week to 10 days. Keep dressing it, no getting it wet. Oh and you need antibiotics."
And I still have a hole in my foot. WTH? I have SO much to do. I've only been doing what's absolutely necessary around the house to ward off CPS, and DH is going out drinking tonight and his parents are coming over to babysit while I work. The house is YUCK. I could really use a wheel chair and someone to zip me around the house so I can get some shiit done. UGH.
Someone else complain about something so I don't feel so Scrooge-ish.

I'm so sorry
Ty had a horrible cut on the palm of his hand that required an ER trip and lots of stitches a few weeks ago. We put coconut oil on it and it healed so so fast, we were really surprised. Might be worth a shot. I hope you feel better soon.
ps - I just emailed you with happy news too!

Are your ILs helpful? Would your MIL help clean up the house if you told her how stressed you are?

They are, and they'd be MORE than willing to help me out, but I'd be so embarrassed with how the house looks right now.
Dude, this came at the LEAST opportune time. Why couldn't I have been a clutz a few weeks from now?
I have to miss my uncles annual "pig pachanga" because of work today. The "pig pachanga" is awesome if you are not a vegetarian and like beer. They kill a couple pigs (sorry animal lovers) and then cook everything using the pigs. Think fresh homemade tamales, pork ribs, chicharones, bacon and all the beer you can drink. Several competitive BBQ teams show up and cook all kinds of things even pan de campo (campfire bread) cornbread and apple pies on the pits. And of course all the sides rice, beans, tortillas. All home made, all yummy. A couple jumpy houses for the kids too. Everyone has a blast and it lasts all day long.
Instead I'm here at work, about to cancel the aid of thousands of kids who thought the government would give them money for school even if they failed all their classes. I'm sure I'll even have to work late.
I would definitely hit up the motorized shopping cart!
I'll whine.... I have bruises a shade of purple I've never seen, my wrist hurts, and I'm having terrible pms which makes dh and I fight more than usual. Bah humbug!!

Here's my whine:
We got our Christmas presents from ILs yesterday. They sent DD a bunch of toys and books and DH and bunch of candy (bags and bags of black licorice, which he loves), a book, and 4-5 dozen cookies (almost all have milk in them so I can't eat them). And they sent me a Christmas bag. They've made it very clear in the past that they don't think of me as part of the family since I married in, but it really hurts my feelings that I get *so* slighted at holidays. My parents have always treated everyone the same at birthdays and holidays, whether they were born into the family or married in. ILs send DH and DD money for their birthday and I get a card. Thank goodness they're not doing this to DD or I would be really p!ssed but I can't help but feel some resentment that they treat me differently than other family members.
(I may DD this later so no one stumbles across it online.)
Good grief, lady!! If I didn't have to work I would totally come over and help you out. I'm so sorry you are going through this especially at this time of year. Bummer!
