I can't do laundry, dishes, cook, or clean. Oh... and we need groceries.
and before you jump at the opportunity to help me, I haven't been able to shower for 6 days either.
No worries, I THINK I can take a shower on election day.

A&A'smommy replied: OMG Tara if i lived closer to you I would be at your house helping you right now!!! Girl how much longer till you think you are going to be able to walk around normally again? Are you still in pain?

PrairieMom replied: no pain at all, but I can't bare weight on my right foot at all. I should be out of thes boots in 2 more weeks.

luvmykids replied: You must be going crazy I hope the two weeks goes by quickly!

mckayleesmom replied: Who is taking care of you right now?

CantWait replied: I don't know whether to laugh or feel bad for ya. Hang in there.

PrairieMom replied:
me. I live in a multi level, so i have to go up or down stairs to get anywhere in my home. Its a total pain. Right now I can slowly manage the stairs, and I can prepare light meals for the kids. but anything fancy is out of the question. the kids are being HUGE helps, but I feel bad for asking them to do so much for me. Its constant...
can you pick up those toys? can you put those dishes in the sink? can you take this over there for me... Poor kids. They will be so glad to see the crutches go.

sparkys2boys replied: Oh Tara, that's terrible. I wish I was closer to, I would be there right now cleaning up a storm for ya and taking care of it all Umm, not the shower part.. but ya know... the rest Hope your up and about soon girl

MoonMama replied: Why is DH not taking care of you and helping around the house?!

PrairieMom replied:
well... he works, a lot. like, a lot. Plus, he is really trying, but geeze... right now he is cooking dinner. (chili I made and froze the other day) so, I guess I shold say he is thwing out dinner. It's gonna be delayed tho, since he turned the wrong burner on for 15 minutes.

lisar replied: yea if I lived closer I would atleast come over and clean your house for you. I dont know about the whole shower thing though. lol

lovemy2 replied: at the wrong burner thing - I do that all the time unless I actually take the time to look at the diagram

Sorry you are hobbling around but just think how beautiful those piggies will look all polished up this coming summer

Calimama replied: Oh man, I'd go crazy. I hope these 2 weeks fly for you.
