Our Crazy Weekend

What a weekend! We hosted the kids birthday parties this year. We had to do them both this weekend, since their birthdays are so close together and the way the weekends are split for Jason's visitation. Jordan had two boys come spend the night and Jason took them to Dave and Busters. Sophia wanted a birthday with the girls in her class. So, we went to Going Bonkers in Lewisville.

Even though it was very busy, I think the kids really had a good time with their friends.

Jordan's only request was that the girls were gone so him and his friends could have a really fun night without being bothered. He didn't have to ask me twice. I took the girls and spent the night with my parents. We went out to eat and Sophia got to be sung to...

I think she enjoyed being the center of attention!


All these girls. Whew!



I think Avery enjoyed it too.


Got the girls some fun favors...


We really enjoyed getting to be a part of her birthday and watching her open presents. Did you know that Jason hasn't been invited to ANY of her birthday parties? They got divorced as she was turning one and hasn't ever been asked to come. We went through a little challenge even to be able to do this, this year. But from now on, we will get to throw their parties every other year.



From what I was told, the boys had a great time and stayed up almost all night. I am so glad I wasn't here.

I swear, they look so OLD in this picture!














They all got prizes!












Today, we decided to let the kids play in the water. Fun day!




Just so we are all clear, I don't like two piece bathing suits for little girls. Don't ask me why. But she had no bathing suit that fit and two pieces were all they had when I made a quick trip to the store.

We even put the sprinkler on the trampoline. The kids LOVED it.


I am tired just looking at these pictures! Bedtime!

That makes me sad that he hasn't been invited to her parties, but I'm not surprised. We went through the same thing. We were told that we could have a separate party if we wanted to, which we did for a couple of years. After many many disagreements, we finally came to the conclusion that we would take turns throwing their birthday parties and the other parent would be invited. It has gotten better since then. I'm glad you guys came to an agreement, too. :)

Yeah. We are doing the every other year thing too, but we are doing them completely seperate. Things aren't always fair, are they. :-(

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...
