Weekend in Roswell

We went to go pick up Jordan after he spent a week with Robert in Roswell and got to hang out with Faith, our four nephews, our Grandma Brown, and finally got to meet Jason's Aunt Lori face to face, after having been Facebook friends for several years. It was a nice time!!
 
The kids were all really excited to be around each other, per the usual. When you get 7 kids together, from 11 down to 2, to spend two nights together, it's bound to be one rowdy good time.
 
They had a water gun fight Saturday, after 4 of them had been fishing in the morning. It was kind of nuts, but we laughed and laughed.
 




 
Right in front of the firing squad for a posed picture...



 
7 kids and one very overgrown teenager.





 
Avery was soaked and had such a blast!!

 
Do you know how annoying and impossible to get 7 kids, especially 5 BOYS to pose for a picture together?




 
Yeah, Avery, what ARE those boys doing?


 
 
Yes, the picture below is what most of the pictures looked like. Adults trying to get kids to stand still, put the swords down, "just one more minute," you know. Stuff like that.


Girls just know what to do for a camera, don't they??? 
 
 
I just thought this one was funny of Kadin... :-)


Jordan just trying to hold on for Jax, just for a minute!!

 
Kadin LOVES Avery...

 
YES, Avery, boys are bad and will teach you bad habits...


 
Little stinker.



 It was so nice to visit family, but so nice to be home! I often find myself being the kids police. When there are more kids than adults, it's either they are control or you are! Sometimes, I still think to myself, "When did I become the adult, again?" And I was just thinking about how hard it's going to be when all of these kids become teenagers. Hopefully, by then, we won't have to lift a finger when we are all together, they can cook all of the meals and do all of the cleaning themselves for US, right?

Back to work tomorrow!

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...

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...
