My Bella Girl





























I know my posts center around Jason and I, but I need to write for one second about someone who is near and dear to my heart, my 5 month old puppy Bella. Bella is a black lab mix who is just about the cutest little thing in the whole wide world! When I got Bella, I had wanted a puppy for a very long time ( I was so lonely I needed a buddy! ) But it never seemed like any puppy really fit me, plus, I couldn't afford to pay a whole lot for a dog. My good friend Kate text me on a Monday and said, "A teacher I know is giving away lab puppies, do you want one?" Of course, my reply, was yes. She asked if I wanted a girl or a boy, I said girl, and Kate said, "Ok! I am off to pick her up." The next thing I know, I got a picture text from Kate of the cutest little black lab in the world. I fell in love with her immediately! We met at PetsMart and when I laid eyes on her, I was just overcome with love for this little thing! Well, Bella and I spent our first week together and boy, was she a smart little thing. I got up every two hours or so at night to take her out, and took her out alot at night after work, and at lunch, and all of that work paid off. She was potty trained after about a week, and is still so good at it, that she just goes right to the door when she is ready to go out! We are working on a bell right now for Bella and Molly (Jason's dog) so we can hear when they are ready to go out. Bella has always been very sweet, and you have never seen true love until Bella met Sophia for the first time. Sophia loves puppies and at the time, Bella was little enough for Sophia to carry. So, Sophia just poked at her, laid with her, picked her up (by the front two legs only) and Bella just let her. When Bella and Molly met, it was like two sisters. Even now, we are surprised at how fast the two dogs got along, they aruge but always work it out. :-) Bella is a very loyal dog, she follows me and Jason around everywhere we go, but doesn't always need to be loved on, but she is a sweet, SMART dog, very patient, and is always watching. We love her and hope she is with us for a long time. With all of her good points, she does have lab tendencies so here is a list of things she has chewed up:

-My brand new heels
-Jason's electric razor
-My eyeglasses ( I was pretty mad about that one )
- Two pairs of flip flops
-Several of Sophia's toys (But Sophia never gets mad, she said she was "sharing" with Bella)

Oh, and I did tell you she is a lab, so she loves to swim! I am attaching some pictures and a video of my darling puppy.

That "Thing" in That Basket Isn't a Baby, You Know That, Right?

I have had the most horrible case of writer's block lately! With that said, I saw this article on Babycenter and I just had to write something about it.   So, we've heard of the trend of eating the placenta after birth . We've heard of the trend of putting them in pill form to get the nutrients . But this? This to me, is just the craziest of them all.   As a group of beings on this planet, I've never seen any other mammal who evolves to get to a certain place, then de-evolves on purpose, to be more "natural." I am sure I am seriously about to put my foot in my mouth, I am sure there are (some) people out there that I might offend with my "closed-mindedness" on this topic. But this is just, well, ridiculous to me.   Basically, after the placenta comes out, instead of cutting the cord and detaching it from the baby, you leave the placenta on, they salt it to help with the decomp process, add rosemary (I am guessing for the smell?), then p...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...
