Just more of the usual. More busy than we need to be. Not enough time and money to do everything that needs to be done.
And the Mrs. just got a ~six week~ cast on this afternoon.
On her right foot.
The one she ~drives~ with.
~When~ she can drive...
I'll be alright in 20-30 years.
Aha.... Well, at least it's not raining....
OK then.
Becky was chosen to sing in the school chorus group and she's been pretty excited about it.
Last night we had to brave the crowds to get her a new pair of black shoes to go with the white longsleeved blouse, Santa hat and blue pants she needed for the "uniform".
Drop her off this morning all dressed up and pretty and off to work I go. She had a in-school recital at 9am, but I couldn't go.
Lucky for me.
I get a call at work from my mom who had just come back from the school. The kids had started the last song (O Christmas Tree) when all of the sudden, the kid standing directly behind Rebecca got sick.
She vomited on the back of Becky's pants.
Needless to say, they show ended there.
Hello!
Oh NO! How awful for Becky! Was she upset??
Oh, good heavens. :-)
Evenin' folkses...
I played hookey today. [snif][hack]
Amatuers...
Heh... the show must go on!!
Exactly.... it's not like the puker was in the front row or anything :~D
I can handle all kinds of gross stuff, except for that.
I can't see it, smell it or hear it happening or else I join the party. *shudder* Kind of like the pie-eating contest in that movie, Stand By Me.
Becky's retelling was funny though. She sings the last line and halfway through "branches" she makes the nastiest vomit sounds. Eeeewwww!
That's pretty amusing, since I am safely far away from these events.
*hands ya a hot toddy*
Lets ask Corin... since he has stage and calamity experience...
Corin.... "must" the show, indeed, go on?
Did you really stay home? Are you sick? or just hooky?
She wasn't upset at all, actually.
She was a bit grossed out at first, but now it's just fun to make the sounds to see me go green.
LOL!
Saw a one-legged VietVet cabdriver do it in Fayettevile, NC in 1988 or so. Started doing it myself on long road trips just to spread out the tired.
Then I brok my right foot and within a week of surgery, drove myself to the store.
Six months of recovery driving like that, and almost four years later I almost prefer it :)
This is a Strange Land, hereabouts.
What is the sound of one finger snapping?
*Crack* "Ah, S#17!"
(Don't read if you don't want to read something gross...this is a nurse thing.)
...You ever heard of a blood splatter void? It's where an arterial vein is cut and there's something in the way and it leaves a void when that something (usually the murderer) leaves. You know...it sprays the wall and everything except where the murderer was standing.
Well...I was assisting a lady from the bedside commode to the bed, I was standing behind her (she had on her open backed gown) and she leaned over the bed and let loose a diarrhea stool that literally sprayed the wall behind me...all except a void where I was standing. She sprayed me from about the armpits down. When I stepped away, you could see my silhouette on the wall.
She was mortified and I was in shock for a few seconds, but then I started laughing! What else can you do??
I hollered out the door for some scrubs.
