Sorry

Sorry that is has been awhile from my last post. It has been pretty busy here. Both the boys have croup (spelling it right?). They seem to be doing okay and John seems to have it a little worse than Mark, which is kinda surprising because when they get coughs Mark always get it the worse for some reason. But other than that we have just been having fun spending time together. And on a update from my last post the doctor ignored my referral and decided to give me a referral to physical therapy.....yeah. Which I have done and am pretty much already doing. I got to go to see the Dictator with my bestie Megan last night. It was a okay movie. It had it's funny parts. Wasn't something I would be like all excited to see again but it was not bad. Other than that we had a blast being able to have a girls night out that had no kids. Because most of the time we have a girls night we still have some kids with us. LoL But today I am going to make it a productive day. I am going to get my house looking awesome because when my house is all clean I feel so good about it. Don't you? I love it. Sadly it doesn't stay clean very long because my two boys like to cause havoc & mayhem wherever they go. LoL

Fricken Doctors

Sorry, but this post is going to be a vent post. I have partially torn tendons above both my knees. I was referred by my doctor (who I can't stand and need a new one) and it seemed to be going well. I got a MRI and found out exactly why my knees had been hurting me since high school. They recommended me some treatment and I tried them but they didn't really help. So after a year I went back to the Ortho doc got another MRI and was told they look a little better but were still torn and swollen. He then said that he didn't think I would need surgery and that I didn't really need to come back because he treated people who could have surgery. Meanwhile I am still in pain and want to be able to do stuff without my knees hurting. (i.e. sitting with my legs crossed, standing, going to stand up and down) So pretty much everything. So I was referred to a pain management place that was suppose to be really good. They could take care of my pain and had a physical therapy place right next door they worked with, but for my insurance to pay for it I had to get a referral from my regular doctor. So I went there today because when I called in for it they said she would not sign it because she had not seen me in so long. (my doctor is against anything stronger than aspirin) So I knew she really didn't want to sign it because it was against her belief and she was going to try and talk me out of it. I was right. When I got there I was seen by a student (who was very nice) and then my doctor came in to she me and was very condescending about me wanting to go there. I was almost in tears half from them poking at my knees and making the pain worse half from the way she was talking to me. So in the end I was told by the nurse that the front desk would take care of my referral, and when I asked the front desk if I would get anything in the mail about it I really didn't get a true answer because they were to busy to talk to me for a few minutes. So in the end I really don't know what is going on. I can understand why doctors are cautious about strong pain meds. I can understand taking precautions before giving anybody a prescription for it (i.e. a UA test or checking what other meds they have been prescribed before) But I really don't think there is anything wrong about me wanting to live without my knees constantly hurting me every day.

Other kids

                                                                        (Kaylee)
Today I get to watch my "other" kids. Kaylee (who right now is trying to kick my keyboard)and her brother Austin. My kids love having them come over. Right now the three boys (Mark, John , & Austin) Are laughing their heads off watch Oscars Oasis. And Kaylee is still trying to help me type. LoL Also after all the kids settle down I am going to try and work on the house so that when their mom comes and picks them up I can head out to run errands.

A day with my princess

This is my Mark with his cousin Skye. I get to take her to the dollar store (her choice) to spend the 5 dollars she got for her birthday. She said she wanted to go there because she can get more stuff with the money she got. I had to put off taking her a couple of days ago because she wasn't feeling well. So now that she is feeling better I get to have a day out with my princess. I am so excited, I love being able to spend time with her. I absolutly love her to death.

Best Friends

                                                           (John, Austin, & Mark)
This is the boys with their best friend Austin. It so happens that his mom is my best friend and that they live right down the street from us. It is so nice to have them close by. They love being able to play with their friend. They are all going to be starting kindergarten this year together. It is truly a scary thought. If they were all in the same classroom together I think that it would be utter chaos. :) But I am glad also that they get to start together because now they will always have someone there for them. I am also excited because my really good friend that use to live next door is moving back into the neighborhood! Yay! I missed having her around.

A new blog & school for the boys.

Hey everyone! I decided I wanted to start blogging about our life so that those who I don't get to talk to all the time or I am not able to talk to can see what is going on with me and my beautiful family. So today we took the boys to their school so they could get their kindergarten assessment test. I don't know why but I was so nervous. Maybe because school means that they will no longer be with me all day long. Which will be nice when I am trying to clean the house. :) But they did good but we were told they needed to get evaluated for their speech. (which we already knew they were going to need help with) And we got the appointment all set up for them for that. It is crazy to think that my little boys will both be in school this year. Where did the time go? I told Brek that I am not going cry when it happens but honestly I think I might tear up a little. Because they haven't even started and when I think about it I get a little sad.
