Chiropractor

did not go so well today. I mean, Shelby did great with her adjustment! But I had to bring all of the kids with and I was also starting there today too. My back has been horrible. I can hardly do anything, but I do it because I have to. Did that make sense? Anyway...the kids did well until we had to leave and pick up the toys, put on jackets...you know. So then I went up to pay for it.....

$191.91

"What?"

Yep.

I almost cried right then and there. I tried thinking of anyway possible to not pay it. What do you say? Nothing...write out the check and then go put your kids in the truck, back out of the parking lot and then cry your eyes out. That's what you do. I KNOW this is what Shelby needs, I KNOW this is what my back needs...but does it justify that ridiculous amount? Maybe?!?! I don't know. I know that I am devastated today. Tom's been gone ALL day which does not help my mood, although, I don't know if him being here would be great either after finding out how much I spent today.

I just feel so let down.

Then the doc called me back from the U of MN, just saying that Shelby will have to have laser therapy to shrink her hemangioma since the ulceration isn't doing better. So I said, "Great, then we can take care of this. I hate seeing her in so much pain." Doctor, "Well, the laser therapy will be painful too, but blah blah blah blah..."

I didn't hear anything else, but more pain.

Ughh.

Miss Megan...I feel so bad for you that you are going through this whole ordeal! Cyber hugs going out to you today...I totally understand about the whole shelling out the $ thing; I would have felt and done the same thing as you. Please know that I continue to send out prayers for you and your family and especially for miss Shelby for healing. She is so adorable by the way...when was she born? I think she and my B are about the same age :D

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....

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...
