Father's Day/Take Two

To say that Brooke's husband and my husband were disappointed that we all spent the day at the driving range and they didn't get to go was an understatement. Jason really wanted to go, but we didn't think we could afford going two days in a row. That was, until, I saw a poster at Top Golf for Father's Day specials. One free game for fathers of Top Golf, plus $10 unlimited family play on the mini-golf course. Which was very nice. THIS was a great deal.

We wanted to be the first ones there to avoid the lines and the heat, so we arrived at 9 am. The kids were blown away by this mini-golf course! The lady told us that Jason could actually just play off my card (I still had 5 games left) and then she would add the free game to my card, which was awesome!! So, we took the kids to play mini-golf first and then we played Top Golf.





Isn't this hat adorable?? Care of my mom, of course. Avery was dressed appropriately for her day out to golf.



The kids even hit a few and did great!!!







Avery got a little nap. That heat will put you to sleep fast!!



After golf, we came home, ate lunch, and Jason took the kids out to swim. Avery needed a long nap so I stayed inside with her. After he took the kids back to their moms, he said that this was the best Father's Day he's ever had because he got to do everything HE wanted to do. I tried to make sure the kids knew we were there for HIM to have fun, not there for THEM. They were very understanding and easy going, which helped so much. Jason just loved his day so much!



I couldn't have asked for a better husband or father to my daughter. I really couldn't find one, even if I tried. He is so amazing as a father - loving, patient, teacher, jungle gym, caring, #1 fan - he is all of those things to his kids and much, much more. I have a wonderful partner who helps raise this family every day and I am so grateful to him for everything he does. I don't think the kids realize how much their dad loves them. I didn't realize when I was their age, and I am sure it will take them a few years to realize it too. But they have a dad who loves them with every ounce of their heart and soul and does anything and everything for them.

Jason, you are an amazing man. I love you so much and I am so proud that I am lucky enough to be with such a wonderful partner. I love you!

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...
