What Fresh Hell

Wow a ton of s@#$t has happened since yesterday. As usual most of it falls under the heading of What fresh Hell is This ?!.

First the things that do not fall under that heading(at least for me personally, I can't speak for anyone else) at this moment.

GOOD STUFF

The eldest child final got his Learners Permit! He has been 16 since Christmas Eve,but having decided everyone else could cart him around he sat around and played Halo and read about sports on the internet.I know most parents would be thrilled by that ,but Dude we have 5 cars! Do we sound like a family of non-drivers to you?

My husband finished the porch renovation which we've been at for about 6 mos.and it's stunning! Just in time too I'll be sleeping out there after ACL surgery. I bought a lovely red sofa bed which we were actually able to cram through the doorways - after we took the legs off.

Husband and youngest child (YC) are not currently injured. Don't laugh!



FRESH HELL

While shopping for said ACL bedroom furniture with one of my best friends "A" who has had her own pail of doodie hitting the fan lately, another BF, "S" calls my cell. She promptly asked me if this was "the leg in a box club president"? Okay,so if you don't know, when you destroy any part of your knee/leg skiing Ski Patrol whisks you down the mountain where the Medic dudes fit you with a chic cardboard box fastened with packing tape to immobilize your leg. So, as I know "S" has been skiing I know she has a big problem. Yes, she has blown out her knee skiing and is currently trying to figure out how to go to the bathroom without standing on it. At our age hopping when you have to pee is not the ideal option (think Poise). She asks for my crutches which I will not need until after surgery. Her college aged daughter and apparently medical chauffer picked them up last night. They now have their own pail of doodie hitting the fan!



Meanwhile my eldest child(EC) has spent the day dirt biking with 15 of his friends on somebodies 40 acre property(with permission it hasn't gotten that bad yet!). Obviously that falls into someone elses "Fresh Hell" but at least it's not mine. No one is maimed, injured, or otherwise physically damaged(I know it looks like this should go under "Good Things" be patient)! In fact he's not even really dirty and someone else fed him-a bonus! But, here it comes-Dad asks him to help bring the sofa bed in the house.Now the look on EC's face says " I would rather stuff live eels down my pants than help you" and is followed by the super surly teenager look. But he does it anyway. As they are jamming it through the front gate he drops his portion, little bro and Dad still have theirs, then grabs his back. After a moment play resumes and the couch is dragged through the house and set up. Thanks Boys!!!!
Okay here it is-today EC cannot move!!! The back is in full on spasm and he can't even sit up by himself!! See I told you: "Fresh Hell"! He is also 2- yes 2- flights of stairs away from me in his room !! So you see how this is going-since we live in an old house maybe I can find a hole in the floor to drop food and meds down that is right over his bed! Okay, it's a nice house with only little holes where we've run wire for speakers and Halo Live of course. At least I don't have to crutch up and down the stairs which would probably eventually cause me to fall and well you know...
Time to check and see if any new "Fresh Hell" has developed while I've been updating this-
