pills just kicked in. warm. was considering going to the daughter-graduation from massage school which is at 6 but i would have had to drag the kindergartener and he was already fidgety and whiny from having to spend the afternoon at my work, and would be unmanageable at a serious event. however this *is* really important, and i was really up in the air over the issue (or the opiates, one or the other) and then i heard the water. this seals it. the child is now armed with a hose (i.e., unapproachable) and hopelessly muddy by now.
it's such a helpless feeling hearing the water running full force and splashing all over the place, knowing i can do nothing but wait it out unless i want to get really, really wet. and i don't. it's now been something like 15 minutes, and the water just went off. imagine the mud.
Go make some mud pies!! Much fun can be had within the realm of the culinary faux pas.
wow, i haven't made mudpies in forever. how could i have forgotten? however, not really up to that right now *sigh*.
What pills did you get? Send me some. My back is killing me!!! Hey, but I do sympathize with your ache, kd. There is no pain worse than that.
you know i was just thinking about that -- tooth pain. i had some root canals by Dr. Butcher's Western Dental, and they totally did something nasty to my already messed up jaw nerves (shot novocaine right in 'em i think, which irritated them bad for days) anyway i was flat on my back for three days couldn't lift my head, whimpering and eating pain pills like candy. i was never out of pain, but passed out a few times.
that was so much worse than labor. worst thing ever.
'splains some of the dentist fear, yes?
Yeah, I would say that accounts for it. I had a bad experience with one too, and I cry in the dental chair now. Fortunately, my current dentist is a sweetheart, and he pets my head and tells me it's gonna be okay.
