How Was My Weekend?

Wow. Thanks for asking. That’s so nice of you.  =D

Well, to start things off, I had surgery on Thursday. Nothing major. Just had my tubes tied. Five kids is enough I figure.  Right? Tell me I’m right and not going to regret this and will eventually stop crying everytime I see my fat belly and realize it’ll never be fat again because there’s a baby growing in it.  *sigh*

So I spent the weekend trying to recouperate. The Ol’ Man did a great job taking care of the kids and the house on Thursday but come Friday… he was back to work on the roof. Mama was left to pick up the 300 pound 6 month old when she cried. Then mama cried.

THEN!! hubby cried… He pulled his back during a coughing fit while he was on the roof.

Wait… backup… rewind…  Did I tell you guys that hubby ripped the roof off of my house? And then it rained? And then he put some black paper on it? And then it rained? And then he put some shingles on? And then it rained?   Bahahaaa  I have the worst luck ever.  No really!  Check out this screen shot from weather.com  Care to guess where I live based on the fact that I had no roof during this particular time….

So anyways…  Hubby was on the roof and had a severe coughing fit and pulled the muscle across the middle of his back. He can barely move. It’s so bad that last night, he refused to go to the bathroom for fear of getting stuck in there. LOL  That’s bad!!!

So anyways… The ol’ man and I spent the weekend walking around the house at the pace of two 90 year olds. Both moaning and groaning the entire time.  It was pitiful.

The good news is, I can still sit on my butt here at my desk and not be in pain. Yay for that at least.

Also, this weekend, I released my very first free theme for download. Actually, I released 2 of them. Yippee for me!  =D

I submitted them to a contest that’s being held at Free BuddyPress Themes. BuddyPress is a plugin that’s specifically for WordPress Multi-User. It’s actually the plugin that I’m using while creating the social network for parents that I’ve told you all about.  (Yes, I’m still working on it whenever I get a spare moment)

But anyways… I released my themes and submitted them to a contest and it would be super awesome if ya’ll could go vote for one of my themes. If I win, I’ll get a free WPMU Premium membership, valued at $250. Yippee again. That’ll totally rock because they have plugins that I’d love to implement into the new social site.

My themes are the TEB themes.  TEB is The Easy Button, another of my sites.  Personally, I’m kinda partial to the purple theme. Something about it is just kickin. LOL

Ok… so anyways… I’ve jabbered long enough for today.  I’ll be posting again either tomorrow or Wednesday, when we get the results of Luigi’s blood test he’ll have done tomorrow. And don’t worry. I plan on going later in the day so we don’t have to deal with the same bull we dealt with last week.  What a crock that was!!!

    oh yikes that doesn’t sound fun, taking care of 5 kids with a surgery recovery and non-helpful husband. I mean, I’m sure his heart was in it, but not his back.

    Hope you both are feeling better soon!

    Oh my goodness, it never rains but it pours eh?

    Hope you’re both feeling better soon. Teach your kids how to mix a decent G&T and you’ll be fine.

    OMG! Do you really live where that tiny green spot is? The town where I grew up didn’t even make the map. I lived most of my childhood in a small town just north of Paxton named Buckley. Too funny!

    i voted… :)

    seems my luck is very similar to yours…

    How is that tube tieing experience? I have the IUD until I turn 39, then, by then….I will be too damn old to have anymore kids ;) so I will probably go for the tubes tied thing!

    What a weekend! It can only get better, right?!

    We can no longer have kids either. Nurse Boy has NEVER looked back…I have my moments. Then, I suddenly remember that I am sleeping through the night and I LIKE IT!!! Yes, I do!

    And, Sweet Pea is potty trained…even better…no more diapers. EVER!
