Vonage Eff Ups AND Korbin Thinks I'm a Saint!

Here's the latest in Vonage Visual Eff Up's!


"Hi Michelle. (??) We do find a tough tractor and we have to splint that thing. So all you had to do is. I'm gonna have a tracker girl. I'm trying to get hold of you. Let's see if I could make an appointment and see if we can catch up there, and (guess? up that properly. Ok? So, I'll try to get hold of you, for tomorrow or the next day. Ok. Meantime, your buddy tape, Tathan. (??) Ok. Bye bye."

What it really said was that my little boy has his first broken bone. The tip of his finger is crushed. It had to be splinted and they said it will cause pain for probably 3 months. Life in our house will be full of tears.

I took him to the doctor this morning because he's been on breathing treatments every four hours with a fever off and on since Friday. They said he had a throat infection (since he can't have tonsilitis without tonsils) and put him on meds.


Thursday he had been playing on the playground in the rocks. Well he and his pals had found a ginormous rock and one little boy tossed it and Taytons finger caught it.....or cushioned it's landing at least. So since were being seen today I asked them to do an xray to make sure it's not broken.


Then I got that visual voicemail around 2 today and called them back. I wanted it handled today because I don't want him to miss school tomorrow. So I did what any stupid responsible mom would do and I took Korbin out of school and then rush to the hospital to have Tayton see his doctor, this was around 2:30 and we had to be at the other end of the hospital at 2:45 for Korbins ears. At 2:45 the doctor hadn't come down to splint his finger yet so I started pacing. You see at these military doctors they require us to be 15 minutes early for our appointments. That's to allow them plenty of time to sit and laugh us idiots wasting 15 minutes of our time sitting in germ infested waiting rooms. So I was worried they wouldn't see Korbin at ENT if we got there at his actual appt. time of 3:00. I mean he hadn't sat in their waiting room inhaling enough germs so he might not have qualified to be seen.

But they did see him and it went fine. His ears are still infected because he was only put on an oral antibiotic and not the ear drop one. His other tube has come out but is stuck in his ear canal so we have drops for that side now too. That's what we do for fun in our house!

Anyone wanna come play at our house?

Here's the damage five days after the accident. See the bruising halfway down that finger? It's ugly in person....Kinda like some people I (nevermind I'll keep it to myself)!
Here's his fakey fake sad face!
And here's what he thinks about me making him let me take pictures of his painful injury!!!

This just in:

Korbin came downstairs well after I put him to bed.

Korbin: Mom my belly grumbled

Me: Go to the bathroom

Korbin: No my belly grumbled for you.

Me: what?

Korbin: It said it needed you! And then I said it too.

Me: GO TO BED!!!

Korbin: I was ner-biss upstairs up without you.

Me: Why aren't you asleep?

Korbin: Well I was alseep and then your tv woked me up.

Me: go back to bed

Korbin: I will when you go to bed.

Me: When I was five years old I went to bed way earlier than this.

Korbin: Ohhhhh. Were you in trouble?

Me: No! I never got in trouble I was a good kid!

Korbin: Awesome!

I have him fooled! He still thinks I'm 21 too!

you can have tonsilitis and no tonsils.... I have had no tonsils or adinoids since I was three ... I have had tonsilitis at least 3 times... the dr finally told me that when they remove the tonsils there is a tiny flap of skin that they can not remove...and that it can and will get infected and act just like the old tonsil.

OWIE on that finger it hurts to see! When I cut the tip pff of my finger eons ago i had a finger cast just like his and it was the same finger... only my right hand every one said I was rude because i held it up all the time... but the throbbing was lessened when I held it up... :D

Have a wonderful day.
Hugs Laura

Dude, I don't know how you handle that Vonage!!! I would either get so frustrated I would scream, or I would die laughing at the mistakes it makes!!! :)

When you get the chance...please tell Kirke Thanks from our family!! I am so very proud of our military and just wish I could hug the both of you for all you do!

And I wish I could hug you for all you have to deal with while he is gone! I don't know how I handled rushing Tres to the ER when he went into anaphaltic shock without my Dad helping me....I cussed Roy for Days for not being here to help!

Much love girl!!!!

never got in trouble huh? Keep in mind that your older brother reads your blog quite often and has many stories that can be told,(hey can I call and talk to Korbin?). I will have to talk more later, Carson just told me I have to shut off my puter so I can watch his show with him.
