Jordan's 9th Birthday

Today is Jordan's 9th Birthday!! He is such a young man now. I believe the expression is "tween." He was only turning 7 when I first met him and he has changed, so much!!

Jordan is such a unique kid. He is very sensitive and very smart! He loves swords, ninjas, guns, Nerf stuff, LEGOS, LEGOS and LEGOS. He is very creative and loves to create things, whether it be drawing or building. Jordan is great at science!! He loves to solve problems when it comes to science.

Jordan is a kid who has had a lot happen to him in his life and done a pretty good job of adapting. He still has a great sense of humor and still is so loving to all of us. He is very energetic and is definitely the first kid, cause he loves attention and loves to talk! (Who else does that sound like???) He has grown so much since I've known him and have really enjoyed being a part of his life.

We let him pick where he wanted to go, and I was excited when he said Amazing Jakes! I LOVE that place. I honestly despise Chuck E Cheese after I went here last year because I realize how much more value it is at Amazing Jakes. If you want to read my last entry on
mazing Jakes, click here. I would have taken more pictures of Jordan, but since we went so early and beat the crowd, him and three other kids literally played laser tag for an hour and half straight. Soph learned that she really loves to rock climb. She didn't make it up to the top, but she did go four times and got higher and higer each time. Jason even joined in on the fun!! We sat in the movie room, which had 3 big screens and they played Toy Story 2 (on repeat, so I am glad its a movie I loved because I sat in there for about an hour with Avery as she took a nap!) Once again, we just had plain old cupcakes because the kids don't really have a party with us and they barely notice the cupcakes we get them, much less a cake.

Happy Birthday, Jordan!

What a fun place! I wish we had one of those in our area. I'm a new follower and I had a blast going back and reading through some of your previous posts. You're so honest, and that makes you "real". Can't wait to keep reading!

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...
