Why i Never post.... A memoir by Emily Hammerstad.

Why i Never post.... A memoir by Emily Hammerstad.

1. I feel cruddy, oh so cruddy, i feel cruddy and ruddy and gay. Well not really. I don't feel gay. but i do feel cruddy.

2. The Doctors would rather go on cruises then call me back to let me know that my results were NOT normal. They would rather just leave me hanging then to tell me that I have a problem that should be taken care of. So i am left confined to my bedroom most of the time. Unless i can find the energy to move to the couch.

3. The magic of being a parent has finally whiped me out. I'm this close to giving up. and why? you might ask. because my son looks like I beat him for a living. He has road rash all over his face not to mention the other scars and bruises from being a boy.

4. I had a yard sale. It consumed any shred of life I had left in me. But GREAT news. I found my quilt that had been missing for months. i think it's been gone since February and we just found it.

5. And lastly, on the list of things that have consumed my life lately. I accidentally overdosed on pain killers. I sound like a real addict. but I'm not and that's why the overdose. I only take half a dose as it makes me so sick and so when i cut my pill in half i wasn't aware that half a pill in this particular prescription was actually a full dose of what i was used to. AHHHHHH!!!!!! Let me tell you. DO NOT EVER DO THIS! I was in the worst condition ever. I wish i wasn't in pain so I didn't need the dang pills in the first place. Needless to say. i am avoiding drugs at this point. I'm going to live with the pain. It's a much safer outcome.

And that's it. I'm finally coming clean about my health issues and saying, "Yes, I am sick. sorry i never call you back. Sorry i never answer to begin with. Sorry that i've been out of all of your life's and you've had no idea why I have just avoided you. Well, I'm not avoiding you, but I'm sorry if you ever thought i was."

My super bad, no good, terrible, awful, wish it would never happen again, but it still did day.



Let me start at the beginning. On Tuesday I taught the 10 and 11 year olds a class on Baby care. including: bathing, changing diapers, and the baby Heimlich. Well, i think someone is out to kill my child. Just yesterday my skills were put to the test. I sat my sweet little son down to play and made sure i couldn't see anything on the floor he might shove into his mouth. Not seeing any culprits i let him play while I got some baby food. I came back and noticed him gumming on something. Oh, no biggy, I thought. it's probably just a baby mum mum.




Conveniently located in the baby isle of Wally world. You'll find these mum mum to be great for infants.



So i wish that's what was in his mouth..... anywho back to the story. He seemed to be having a little trouble on it but not much so i hooked him into his high chair and noticed it was only getting worse. i busted him out and held him in position to knock it out. I hit him a couple of times and he still wasn't doing too hot. My family, who was all there, kept saying, "you gotta hit harder" So i failed my class apparently cuz i said, "Look i know i taught it but i'm not doing it right so someone needs to help him, NOW!" My sister took over and gave him the Heimlich and THIS was in his throat! I couldn't believe it. AHHHHHHHHHH! It still makes me sick to my stomach.







Well, Then I'm down here getting ready to blog about my son's life or death experience when it happens again. HOW IN THE HECK IS HE FINDING ALL THIS CRAP?... EVERYWHERE? so, yes, literally 2 minutes ago we had to give him the Heimlich again to dislodge this.







I'm so sick of someone trying to kill my son. I'm going after whoever it is. The stinkface.
