Here in New York school starts Wednesday.
WHOOPEE!
Lord, I love my kids. I really do. But a full summer of 4 kids all at once? Yikes.
Amber really needs her routine. Autism amplifies that need a hundredfold. Anyone who has an autistic child, brother,sister, or whathaveyou will understand when I say that it will be a relief for her to get back to school. While she is a ray of sunshine, she can also turn into a raging storm. Quick-like.
Life will return to what we call normalcy. I'm hoping to get a few more things up and running so I can get hubby a new laptop and also replace my failing desktop. The tower has been over-heating, I think the fan has kicked the bucket. I've entered tons of giveaways and contests in hopes of winning one or two to no avail. One of my Twitter followers won a Toshiba laptop and another won a Dell Mini.
Damn them.
In other news- turns out the stove isn't as bad as we thought. Hubby scraped away the melted plastic and discovered that the cord end had overheated, melting the housing. Just the one section of cord was bad, the connectors on the actual range are fine. We're going to replace the cord, which if everything works fine, will save us a few hundred bucks.
My mom is in the hospital again. It seems that her little trip brought on by her 'mad fit'...wait, did I write about that? She was ticked because someone didn't show up to take her to a funeral, so she decided to go speeding down the sidewalks and roads through town would be a great idea. Mom roared down the streets on her Hoveround, I had a great time visualizing her shaking an angry fist at motorists, probably not the case though, to my grandma's house.
I am pretty darn sure she went over 5 miles. Don't take that as gospel, but I think that's about right. The only way it would have been cooler would be if she's had her new prosthetic leg on and listened to me about painting flames on it and the powerchair.
Ok. That truly amusing episode seemed to have ended safely. Just a little self directed field trip. Except for the fact that now she has pneumonia and a blood infection from her amputation. Just talked to her-she seems to sound a heck of a lot better than last night, so I'm not worried. She was laughing over my description of her nursing home jail-break, so consider this post Mama Sparks approved.
