Baths




baths and more baths! One of the things I am trying to do for Shelby to help her butt heal. Sometimes I just "hose" her down, but mostly I just try and let her soak. She likes it so far. I read that sometimes the sores can get so bad that even water hurts them. But Shelby does not seem to mind at all.
I had to bring all of the kdis to drop Brady off for preschool this morning. I haven't had to do it in awhile, but it went well, not wonderful, but better than I thought. He had so much fun today with a valentine's party, movie and popcorn!
I must admit, I'm feeling a little low today. Not horrible, but Shelby's sore is really overwhelming in regards to how much pain I know she's in. I am chosen not to cry myself now when I change her. I just do what I have to do when I change her and pick her up as soon as I can to comfort her. I feel like there has to be something better for her than what I'm doing, but the doctors don't seem to think so. She has another chiro appointment today and between that and the olive oil/garlic drops, I am hoping this will help solve her ear infection since I stopped the antibiotics. But, the chiro is also a little spendy, so I'm hoping our insurance will "step up" to the plate soon? I don't know. Insurance is frustrating! I paid close to 80 bucks yesterday for her appointment? Why do we have insurance? For it to not be helpful? Frustrating. I'm trying anything for her though, and I don't care what it costs!
Tom is gone all day today, working and then going to the college to do paperwork, financial aid and take his pre-entrance exams! So here I am! Suppose I should get used to it!

Megan..I am so sorry that money/insurance has to be part of your worries right now! It was part of ours as well when Finn was a baby...we did the chiro for about a year 3x/week at $35 a time...spendy for sure! But I heard just wednesday that Dr. Westerburg does adjustments for $25 a time and does not use insurance. So even without insruance it sounds like it might be cheaper...just a thought.
I have been checking all day...glad to see a post! Have been praying for you!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

A picture, a moment.

My husband and I went to Mexico last February. This was our last night there. Or was it? We had not gone on a vacation in 10 years! This photo is unique and amazing in so many ways. I had gotten a new camera, and all vacation, I would mess around with new settings. What time of day was this? Looks like a sunset right? It's not! It was a sunrise! I  had some strange setting, that I have not been able to replicate. But it made this look like our last night there, but it was our last morning. I awoke early so I could be on the beach when the sun came up.If I could keep a memory that included sense of smell, feeling, sound, and sight, it would be this, wrapped with a bow. I was the only one out there in the early hours, which was amazing in and of itself. I took a lot of other shots by the water, and a little while later when I was heading back, I turned around, and took a shot off the upper patio of the resort. And this is what I got. It is my favorite picture...
