My knee is seriously jacked

The doc was supposed to fix it with the surgery, and it looked pretty good for 6 or 7 weeks.  Unfortunately the very first time I seriously exercised on it, it blew up to the size of a grapefruit.  Doc says it is another bursitis or gout or an infection.  So he get me anti-inflamitories and anti-bacterials.  I can hardly bend my knee now, it is so much worse than before the surgery.

Great.. a Liberal in my house…

Right before the 2010 elections, I went in with a buddy to buy 100 copies of the U.S. Constitution.  We passed them around campus and urged people take the election period seriously.  I still have about 10 of them.  They keep wandering around the house.

I got back late last night from drill and went straight to bed.  This morning I woke up and came into the man cave (the spare bedroom used exclusively as a computer room)  and found that my dachshund chose my personal copy of the constitution (a booklet about 2inches by 6 inches long)  to take a crap on…

I’m officially blocking msnbc from my television.. I don’t know what left winger is responsible for corrupting my dog, but I’m not taking any chances.

Seporah during our bike ride

The four of us went on a trip yesterday on our bikes to baskin Robbins, seporah was asking what bikes eat. I said that bikes don’t eat, they aren’t alive. She said, oh, i mean what do bikes drink. Again i say, they aren’t alive, they don’t eat or drink. She says but cars aren’t alive either and they drink gas. She totally stumped me there. Haha. Im not funny.

Various Facebook Updates for the Non-Facebook People

Our water’s out, so I told Felicity the toilet wouldn’t flush today, “Oh, the toilet’s out of batteries?”

Actual quote by the weather lady on the radio this morning, “High today is 78 degrees. It’s a little cold, but remember it is winter time.”

Felicity pooped in the potty! Oh happy day! I’ve changed diapers every day for 4 years, 11 months and 15 days, I am sooo ready to be done with them 🙂

Felicity talking into a toy phone, “Hi Naomi! Hi Naomi’s Mommy! You come to Seporah’s party?… Oh no!… Please!!!

Mom: How many times have I told you to put on your house slippers? Seporah: Um, 6? Dad: How many times should Mom have to tell you? Seporah: 7

Seporah: I don’t like breakfast, I don’t like lunch, I only like snacks. Mom: The problem with only eating snacks is you don’t get the right nutrients. Seporah: I don’t like nutrients.

Ack! Just caught Seporah singing Justin Beiber’s Baby, Baby, Baby Oh! He has officially taken over.

Actual quote by some random guy in the elevator, “You’re really beautiful, except for the short hair. That’s too bad because I really love long hair.”

On the Plus Side, Plain Exhaustion Has Helped Me In the Weight Loss Department

-We started patching Seporah’s eye a few days ago. We discussed with the opthamologist and she said we’d probably be doing it for 1-2 years based on her current exam. Right now we’re only doing it 3 hours a day though, so thankfully she doesn’t have to go to school with it on.

-Steven’s now able to walk around with relatively no pain, hopefully sometime by February he’ll be able to run again.

-Christmas came early here. We’ve been using our USAA card for 5 years racking up points apparently. We didn’t know it, but you can trade in the points for gift cards. I was not planning on getting the girls anything (grandparent’s are the bomb, so they had some things), but now I’ve got all these gift cards for Walmart and Target. It was totally sweet let me tell you.

-Felicity pooped in the potty 2 times this week! So excited to be almost done with the diapering stage of our life.

-Seporah got the Good Citizen of the Quarter at school! Super proud of her. She also did a school performance of Brown Bear, Brown Bear a couple of weeks ago that Steven (wink, wink) needs to put up.

-We actually sent out Christmas cards this year. Steven designed them and we both mailed them out. It’s a good thing Steven took the initiative because if it had up to me, it just wouldn’t have happened. Good intentions are just that intentions.

My knee and a Felicity story

So this is my knee post surgery.  I have been laid up since Saturday, although I am feeling much better today.

So on to the Felicity story.  She woke up last night at around midnight and came in to wake me up to tell me she had to go potty.  She normally doesn’t do that, she normally just goes in her diaper and gets changed in the morning.  I’m happy that she is pottying, but not happy she is waking me up.  Anyway, I know I have to wake up and make sure she gets her diaper back on, because she never puts it on herself.  I wait about 10 minutes, and get up, and walk into her room and ask her if she put her diaper back on.  She smiles and says “Yes Daddy”, all proud of herself.  I am surprised, and pat her bottom over the blanket to make sure, and sure enough there is a diaper down there.  The next morning I am surprised with a urine covered child, from head to toe.  She had put the diaper on inside out.  =)
