OH gesh that is sucky. I would not be happy about driving 6 hours for a flight.
I have no idea what side he lives on. I know he has chickens, that’s about it. haha
He has lived there for a while. Australia for over 25 years and Brisbane over 13 I think.
Wow @Ange, glad you are safe. Sounds crazy. My dad is in Brisbane and pretty much complain about weather, regardless of highs or lows constantly. Thinking he wishes he was back in CA.
I think my husband is cursing our weather. He left town and it was nice out (compared) and came back and brought freezing rain and it cracked his windshield. He apparently had a small chip we weren’t even aware of (as I always get them filled) and the garage to outside split it. Ugh.
Thanks guys. Yes we have to start from scratch, but this out of state Dr already has an initial phone consult set up in a bit over a month. Since we went though most of the process we can just send records to him and do lab work here then go there for surgery. 90% of his patients are out of state so he works around and doesn’t make you fly out numerous times. He is said to be THE GUY so let’s hope that goes well. I will look into more doctors locally though as I’m not putting all my eggs into one basket again.
Well we cancelled surgery. Husband was not happy about the bait and switch, although I don’t think it was with ill intent and the director of the facility is livid and nearly was in tears with me. Plus, for the amount we would pay we could have the best doctor in the country. I already have a consult set up with a great doctor out of state who is very upfront with his pricing and has done over 8k procedures but just pushes it all back months and months. I think there will be a lot of tears shed in my house the next few days. Really need a damn bath tub right now so I can sit in it for a few hours and mope….and a bottle of Kettle One of course.
I am officially exhausted with desk shopping. I need to find a desk for my husband when he works from home, that won’t look ugly in my living room (we have this nook area I am putting his “office space” in, but apparently can hold at least 1 monitor if not 2 (which to me is ugly but whatever has to be that way) but isn’t some huge office desk. I of course and not trying to spend a fortune but regardless of price low or high I just cannot find anything I like. Grr….sometimes when there are too many options it just makes things harder.
I did find these stands that hold two monitors, you screw them into it in the back, so at least it will allow for a slightly smaller desk without taking up all the desktop space. Also can’t do anything wireless so it looks nice due to gov security with him job, all has to be corded.
I officially wish we had 1 more bedroom.
I have found, all of my life, that kids, regardless of gender or what they normally find fun for play, are obsessed with the little kitchens. They are always a hit. If you waste money on one toy, trust me that this one will be used constantly.
My grandfather used to be forced to have his beer out of the little cup (which I realize now was a shot at best) while I served them and put on performances.
Interesting to hear since you experience the large groups of kids Wendy.
Agree Wendy. But that count the girl would’ve been into cars and my son would be far more masculine, he’s much more what is considered feminine although frankly that is not the proper word, I just have been up since 3am and really can’t come up with the word I feel best describes it.
I guess I am lucky to never experience a bad smelling or messy girl even when I was that age. At worst just piles of clothes from changing from outfit to outfit.
And I have read a ton of articles about boys hormones causing a good amount of smell. He just one day started to smell really bad even with multiple showers and such. Then one day it just passed. We read up about it.
None of this explains 140 chicken nuggets however. I am still cracking up over that.
Well I only spoke from having time with a growing teen boy and girl. There is a big difference from my experience. He has never been told he doesn’t have to have good hygiene, he just doesn’t care, where as she cared a lot about how she presented herself. Just because we have all these new labels doesn’t mean that men and women are inherently different and do have many characteristics that are considered more female and more male, not every single person but a large amount. I assure you, with two Air Force parents he was expected and still is, to be clean, tidy, etc. He just recently reached an age, as MANY teens do, where he doesn’t do what he is told as easily.
I also think that girls, with the expectation to be pretty and such care more about appearance at a younger age. He could care less if someone thinks he is attractive or not where as the girl cared from a rather young age as her peers were doing that. I remember the time between elementary school and middle school when it changed and she started caring about her appearance. I also remember when she shaved off her eyebrows and drew them on with an actual Sharpie but that’s a whole other Maury.
