Tea Time With Sissy and TGIF!

So, Jordan had his TAKS this week...he called us on Monday night to tell us he was nervous! But he said everything went great! And Sophia got all greens this week (in her class, green is good behavior, then yellow then blue). All in all, they had a good week. I asked Jordan what he wanted to do this weekend and he said "see Hops." No problem. I love it when I have an excuse to see a good kid movie. They both have swimming parties at friends houses this weekend, Jordan on Saturday and Sophia on Sunday. I am SSOOOO glad Jason gets 40 gallons of gas every week through work and he uses our vehicles for work, because that is alot of driving and alot of gas we would have to be paying for! We will be going back and forth from Plano to Flower Mound 8 times this week. Yikes. Avery gets her big girl high chair tonight. I can't believe how big she is getting!

It occured to me that I haven't seen the kids in about a month and I had no new pictures of them lately! I looked through my old posts yesterday and the kids look so little. The kids came over last night and I had to take advantage of some picture opportunities. So, Jordan has two more loose teeth, which now makes teeth 5 and 6 he will loose, and Sophia has her first loose tooth! Jordan is the type that would NEVER let anyone pull his teeth (I am with him, I didn't like it either when I was a kid) but I asked Soph if she would let someone pull hers and she said, "My daddy!" I know her - she will hold off and hold off until her dad is there so he can hank that sucker out. Then, she read us a whole book, all by herself. Oh my goodness...I can't believe it. So old.

Well, it was appropriate that the royal wedding was today because I pulled out Avery's tea set (that Sophia has been eyeing and been wanting to play with for months) and last night, they had a tea party! Sophia would give Avery her cup and then I would hear "Oh Avery, your spilled your tea!" It was so adorable. And then, Avery was pooped. She fell asleep when I was feeding her.


This morning, I turned the TV on when I got up and did watch some of the Royal festivities. Oh my goodness there were so many people! Kate did look absolutely stunning. I thought it was appropriate to dress Avery in her little princess onesie. I normally don't like shirts for girls that say "princess" and stuff on them, but I thought this was a good time to show it off. I did get a good smile out of her this morning, she must have moved though because it came out a little blurry. Still cute though. I need a phone with a good camera.

Have a great Friday - TGIF!

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...

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!...
