My Family is Screwy and Smiley

Posted by kim on January 24, 2007

First my mom shattered her heel requiring 13 screws (she still is not recovered), and now my son dislocated his kneecap and fractured his growth plate requiring 2 screws. I felt a little guilty having to leave him for my conference in Vegas, but the doctor assured me it was fine to go. Ok, doctor’s orders. So, my mom, one cripple, took care of the other cripple.

I’ll post more later on the Vegas trip (am a tad tired), but here is a teaser pic for you. After alcohol was involved, I’m not sure my brother, my cousin, my boyfriend, my friends and I were the appropriate spokesmodels for ShoppingBookmarks.com. But a good time was sure had by all.

Update: Even Brian Littleton, President of ShareASale sported a metallic thong bearing the ShoppingBookmarks.com smiley face for charity, with all proceeds going to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada.

And Brian played the piano while Mike, Pat and Ethan serenaded Missy Ward…

Snow, Snow, Go Away. Come Again Another Day.

I have to admit I prefer the snow over the ice, as I still have electricity! But I sure miss my old neighbors with snow blowers that took turns feeling sorry for me being a single mom and cleaned my sidewalks.

I know I own three pairs of snow boots, but for the life of me, I cannot find them in my collection of shoes. Good thing I have a brood of kids that I can pawn the job off on.

As my youngest left for school (late start), she said, “Mom, if you go shopping, we need bread… and a snowblower.”

Newest House Problem: I had to call the contractor today as water is leaking into my bathroom via the vent. Ah, the joys of home ownership.
