Helen Keller Lives Here

I swear a deaf and blind child would be easier to manage than JT. That kid is so hard headed it is not even funny. We were swimming at the Y today and they made everyone get out of the pool because a girl got a bloody nose. JT gets out of the pool and then proceeds to walk back in as I am yelling at him "Get OUT of the pool!" He continues to look at me and keeps walking deeper and deeper. Two lifeguards had to yell at him before he got out. I.wanted.to.kill.him. Then he wants to know why she has a bloody nose and wants to go look at it and wants to know why her hands are bloody and so on and so forth. God, you were there with me, because if you hadn't been, JT may not be with me now.

Show Me the Money!

Well, JT didn't have to have an endoscopy afterall. They did an x-ray when we got there and thankfully and amazingly the quarter had passed on its own sometime between Monday and today. So, unfortunately I have no quarter to show....and for that I must say I am disappointed. But I am so relieved this is all over and JT didn't have to go through all that! This week has been CRAZY!!!! I am glad this saga is over!

Press "C1" For Salicylic Acid

There is a freakin' Proactiv Solution VENDING machine at Stones River Mall. Um, seriously...WTF?!

You are Killing Me, George!

Well, LJ had her 1 year check-up yesterday and all is well. She is super strong, duh, and she is really healthy. She weighs 23.2 pounds and is 28.5 inches. When the doctor asked if I had any questions, I said only about JT. I asked if we needed to do anything regarding the quarter. She wanted to get an x-ray to see what is going on. So, we headed over to Vandy and got the x-ray. Lo and behold, that sucker is still in there. His dr. called me in the waiting room and said that it appears to still be in his stomach. So, she wanted to talk to a GI about it and have it removed.

Well, looks like it is coming out (endoscopically...I think) tomorrow. I am waiting for the hospital to call me with the details. As far as I know, it will be an outpatient procedure. I certainly cannot wait to get my hands on this coin!!!! I will post more when I know more! And the saga continues.....

Um, What?

I saw a lady with a weiner dog last week and she said she was going to take him for a hike. Excuse me? WTF? Weiner dogs don't HIKE!!! She was SERIOUS about it too...she had on freakin' hiking boots! That was one of the funniest things I have ever heard!

Happy Belated Birthday Lily June!

It is so hard to believe that this year has already come and gone. It feels like I just came home from the hospital. It has been a fun year and LJ has changed so much. She is such a happy baby, very laid back and relaxed! She loves her big brother so much, I just hope I can remind her of that down the road. She loves to stand up and push things all around the house. She isn't walking yet, but she really wants to. She stood by herself last night for at least 30 seconds. LJ loves music just like her brother and she likes to dance. She likes to "give 5" and kisses and loves to hit things when she is excited (sorry Jack!). Her favorite food is yogurt and she loves a cereal bar too. She also loves macaroni and cheese and beans and rice. I just wish she would drink milk! Her party was alot of fun on Saturday. She had a blast watching the other kids play and loved getting messy. The cake and cupcakes were so cute and very yummy (thanks Kim!)...and we have plenty of ice cream left if anybody wants any! Thanks for all of the birthday wishes and helping us celebrate our baby girl turning 1!!!

1. I absolutely cannot go to bed with complete silence. I used to have to have the TV on, but now that bothers me, so I have to have 2 fans.



2. I will not go to bed without brushing my teeth or washing my face under ANY circumstances, intoxicated or not. If semi-passed out, when I come to, it will be done.



3. If I don't need to take a shower, but I think that my feet are dirty, I have to turn the shower on and stick my feet in there. I cannot go to bed with dirty feet.



4. I've decided that I don't like stuff. I can't seem to manage it or organize it. I don't lose things, but I am just tired of messes so at this point I'd be perfectly happy just getting rid of nearly everything.



5. I go to McDonald's practically everyday and get at least one large diet coke.



6. I really want a puppy, but I think that would bring me back to #4.
