Jordan's Sleepover

 

This is Jacob. He goes to Jordan's school and they met last year in their class. They were also on the same soccer team for the last two seasons. Jacob's dad and Jason have grown to be friends during the soccer games, so they will text from time to time and we always stood by him at the games. We actually were starting to be friends with everyone on Jordan's soccer team.
For some reason, Jordan's mom decided to move him to a different team this year. We still don't really understand why, but Jordan was pretty sad about it. The new team he is on has played together for a while and he doesn't have any friends on the team yet. So, it's hard when we go to the fields and Jordan is like, "There are the Strikers!" and he wants to go see friends he used to play with.

But, anyway, Jason tries as hard as he can to stay up on the things that are going on in the kids' lives, so it is not always easy for him when things change and he has no control over it. But even though Jordan and Jacob don't play soccer anymore, Jason still talks to Jacob's dad and we will still watch Jacob play soccer when we can. This week, we had talked to Jake's dad about something called Friday Night Live at their school. They can go and dance at the gym on Fridays. (Are they really old enough for that yet??? NOOO!!!)

**Just a little sidebar - I remember Friday Night Live in Grand Prairie at Lifetime Fitness. 90210 was all the rage my 5th grade year and I remember wearing my long sleeve black blouse with the see through sleeves and jewel button covers. Ah, memories.

Jake and Jordan had talked about going and possibly spending the night with each other, but they weren't having it this weekend, so Jason asked Jake's dad if he could just spend the night with us instead. Of course, they said yes, so Jason picked Jake and Jordan up after soccer practice and we planned on taking them both to their game on Saturday morning.

They came over and let me just tell you - all 9 year old boys are the same. Period. Kind of awkward, old enough to be very independent but not old enough to have much freedom, know it alls. They were both so sweet and so well behaved, but if you have a 9 year old, just know, it's not just yours.

Jake was absolutely wonderful - they played Wii in Jordan's room all night long. The next morning, they planned on playing outside but spend more time dressing up to go play outside than actually playing outside.

I took this picture of them at the fields. Ah, boys,. They did make us laugh on the way over to the game when they were dancing in the backseat of the car!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

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!...

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...
