The Weekend

We had a great weekend with the kids this weekend. We went shopping Friday night and they were so patient, that we decided Saturday to do a Girls/Boys Day. So Jason took Jordan to see Star Wars 3D and I took Sophia and Avery to have dessert at Corinos. Sophia was an absolute joy this weekend (she always is) but this weekend, shopping with her was so much fun. She loves to pick out the most ridiculous outfits for me, but I love her enthusiasm.

We also have been visiting our old church, Inglewood Baptist. It's where Jason and I met and were in church our entire youth. When we moved back to Grand Prairie, we knew we had to try it again. We really liked it (felt like home) so today, we rejoined! It was a nice day.

So, the day finally got nice enough and the kids were itching to get on the trampoline. Avery hates being stuck inside when the kids are out jumping. I walk in the room and this is what I see...

She looks at us and says "dit, dit" that means "jump."



Man, I love watching all four of these kids have fun. Well, three small kids and a big one.



They sit in this circle and pass the all around. Avery moves from lap to lap.


I've figured out that when my phone is fully charged, it takes pretty good, fast pictures!!



By the way, did you know that trampolines rip holes in the knees of your jeans? Well, they do.



Jason is such a good player. He will come up with a game completely spontaneously. He made up this ball game and now they play it all the time. Of course, Avery sees balls on the ground and she says, "Ball ball" until I throw the ball into the trampoline.




Our poor backyard. The corner flooded because of the rain.


Of course, the dogs found their way over there.


They. Were. Filthy.


I promise, they were. You can't really tell from the pictures.



Good weekend!!!

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...
