Hard Day

We've been seeing alot of this lately...yes, that would be the remote control. I guess she is already wanting to be in control of the TV! 



I am just now starting to get pictures of me that I actually like. I guess I just have been really down on myself recently - my hair needs to be done, I need a tan, I need to lose some weight....

Blah.

Blah.

Blah.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

I woke up this morning in a really. really, really bad mood. Like a I-am-afraid-my-husband-is-about-to-pack-it-up-and-wish-me-the-best kind of bad moods. 

My daughter woke up at 3:45 needing to eat. Back to sleep.

My stepson woke us up at 6:30 to ask if he could put his clothes on. Uuhhhh....wha? Back to sleep.

 Then he came in again at 6:45 to ask if he could play Wii, even after we've had multiple conversations about NOT waking us up before 7:00. And even then, if it's 7:00, yes, you may turn on the Wii at a low volume.

Did he remember?

No.

I couldn't go back to sleep after that. This week, I've gotten about 4 hours of sleep a night. I can usually survive on that for a few nights, until I just need a rest TO rest. I need a good night's sleep. I didn't get that last night. And I really needed it.

But, like my husband said, "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO RIGHT NOW TO MAKE IT BETTER???"

Nothing. There was nothing he could do.

SSSOOOO....I could spend the rest of the day being mad, making everyone's day horrible, being depressed, sitting in bed crying, OOOORRRRR...

I could get up and make my day better.



So, I did. What choice did I have?

I guess, I have alot of choice. I was starting to really get depressed this week. I don't really know why. My hormones are going nuts. I think because I stopped nursing, now it's back to P.M.S. Yuck.

Pray for me. I have lost alot of my patience these days - pray that my husband just doesn't throw in the towel. Just kidding, he wouldn't do that.

Life is hard sometimes, isn't it?

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...
