Miscommunications suck.

Oh helling hell.

Talk about awkward.

So I text messaged J last night regarding the situation. Told her if I wasn't in class today for Liam to let them know what was going on. She told me she would do. Offered to help if she could.

Randomly this afternoon I got a very sweet email from one of Liam's teachers saying that it was such a horrible month for such a wonderful family. let her know if she can do anything to help out. She hopes we're all okay.

I had emailed his speech teacher earlier in the day a goofy email asking for some advice on things to do during break. She emailed back giving some great advice and finished it off with "I heard what happened with Josh. I'm so sorry I hope he's feeling better. I understand if you guys are not coming to the field trip tomorrow do not worry about it in the least."

It suddenly hit me, um....did they think JOSH had a heart attack?

I called J up and turns out yup. She didn't read the text messages correctly and even SHE thought Josh had had a heart attack.

Oh dear cod. I went back and double checked. No no. I had definitely said his MOM had a heart attack. How awkward for her! Sharing this news. Worrying about our family. Wondering why the fuck I'm so calm. Thinking my 30 year old husband had a heart attack and it was no big deal?

I did have to laugh because OMFG the outrageousness of it all. What a horrible miscommunication. I was so confused by the overly sweet emails I was receiving. They were so kind so I thought, perhaps, J had explained our fucked up relationship with Josh's mom or something. So they understood it was really weird and further complicated than just the traditional stress of a heart attack.

So I emailed his 3 teachers and set the record straight. Letting them know the whole story and misunderstanding. That I really appreciated their concern and that they were so kind.

Hell almighty. Tomorrow should be nice and weird at the field trip with all his teachers, plus the aids, who may or may not have seen my email yet.

I can promise you if Josh had a heart attack? I'd be right back up in the loony bin again. no way would I be calm in the least.

And speaking of heart attacks...latest news is she will probably be released tomorrow. Which is disappointing because I suggested Josh call the hospital and have them examine her for pain med addiction and mental health issues. Otherwise it will probably never be addressed and those two things are incredibly important to her recovery AND to any differences in the future between any of us.

I have a headache. Haven't taken me time in 2 days. And Josh desperately wants me to watch him play his new Madden game. Thank you oh preorder the glory of happy Madden can be his even when we are broke beyond belief.

I even got to splurge on a frap tonight when we sold 2 things on craigslist. I *heart* craigslist so.
