Slings and potatoes

Just after lunch I get a phone call from Mammy2 saying the school had rang and that the kid was after falling down the stairs and could she come up and pick her up. It sounded a lot worse then it was, the vice reckoned she had sprained her shoulder/arm and that she would need an x-ray.
Mammy2 picked her up and headed to A&E in the Mater and they were seen quite quickly. She is now sporting a lovely sling, which will give her lots of attention. She sounds fine though, I rang to talk to her and she was all like "Yeah, I was walking down the stairs and then I fell and my arm totally fell off, not off, like bent backwards etc" Ten minutes at home and the sling has been thrown to one side and she's txting everyone to tell them how sore her elbow is. She's gas.

Thank god Mammy2 was at home, she's been off sick for the last week and I'd say she'll be out some of this week. Her boss is a royal prick and was being very bitchy over email when Mammy2 emailed them to inform them she was going to be out. I want to go into the office and wallop him. He's fuming that they can't get rid of her. Isn't he a lucky man he's never known anyone with depression. Or maybe he has and they've since stopped hanging around with him because he's an insensitive prick. Who knows.

I'm working late tonight and the kid wants a spud dinner. I had though after 8 would be too late for dinner, but apparently not. She's dying for mashed potatoes. I won't complain. Another fan of potatoes is always good in my book. Weekend went far too quickly for my liking, was unwell for most of Saturday. I think I might be a bit rundown. Or maybe its called old age and I should stop socialising so much.

We're into the week before the period. The body has been acting funny, but again that could be down to old age and not me being pregnant. We don't take a test anymore until at least a week after the due date. I think both myself and Mammy2 are hoping and thinking about it, but not actually talking about it out loud. We might think we'll jinx it or something.
