I am exhausted.

Dylan incurred a 5 inch gash to his forehead necessitating a ride in an ambulance from the Waynesville rec pool to Mission hospital. We are home 9 stitches later and mama needs a double scotch rox.

Oh goodness!

*hands you scotch*

It ended up being a big glass of red wine and tylenol PM.
mmmm it puts you to sleep and usually does not result in an ulcer (unlike children)

I had like 12 seconds of wishing you were right upstairs so you could come down and hold my hand.

Thank you honey...

Hey, I forgot to tell you, my Maggie bought season 2 SPN with her own money because I "was taking too long".

That kid is such a miser, compliment of the highest order.

yeah, you know, it's like PTSD causing, you keep seeing that moment over and over, god I hate it. I held it together all day like a champ, hauling kids with me who were not mine, following behind the ambulance through 2 counties, but man today, I'm having aftershocks. near anxiety attacks, shaky etc. Am I just weak or what?

you are not weak, you are normal! i still have ptsd flashbacks of horror re: bela's ambulance situation and i imagine i always will. plus, any loud THUNK type noise in my house puts me in a panic. a lot of things put me in a panic actually. i should write about it but god! writing about it makes me relive it and who has time for all THOSE feelings? anyway. glad things are ok, too bad i don't live closer so i coulda shared some of my massive pharmaceutical stash with you (everybody is suddenly giving me all their extra pills? why are they doing this? i have so many xanax/valium/tylenol 4 it's crazy).

well. you must have just aged a couple extra years. i'm scared of the details. happy scotches! and I hope the boy is feeling ok.

Thank you... tender_inside March 29 2008, 23:22:48 UTC

We are all OK - The boy is actually in better shape than I am.

I made a big comfort dinner and had some red wine and its starting to feel behind us, instead of all around us.
