Survived

Conley met me at the Dr at 9:20, he went in with Cade I went in with Teagan. I could hear blood crawling screams from Cade, and Con said the Dr froze it like 7 times. And Cade would say how many more? Awe...Poor little man. He is all good now, I took him to school afterwards and he was fine. Teagan got a prescription for Vyvanse (adhd) I am still in limbo here wondering what to do with the prescription. Its expensive like 70.00 and there are warnings for heart conditions. Teagan has had a heart murmur in the past, but the Dr didn't hear it today. I want to get better insurance and take her to a cadiologist I think before I proceed with any medication. Anyways:
Next up for us: Saturday is Teagans last volleyball game at 12. Saturday night it Date night:) Monday are kids dentist appointments (they love me lately) And Con will find out tomorrow if he has jury duty Friday...Knowing his luck he will have it, get picked for some dumb crime, and be doing that for the next month...(not to jinx him or anything)

Wednesday Dr. Apts...

I have finally reached my breaking point, and have scheduled Teagan a follow up appointment from her exam in July. It has taken me so long because 1. I really thought Teagan was just going through a phase with the hyperness, and she just cannot calm down, and it has really become an issue at home. 2. I was waiting to talk to her teacher at parent teacher conferences to ask her opinion, and she agreed that yes Teagan seems pre-occupied with other things, and has a hard time concentrating and maybe a Dr. could help her and me. Teagan's x-ray for scoliosis was negative, and cost 400.00 for 1 dang x-ray...She still has a heart murmur that should be checked tomorrow also. But nothing to be concerned with. I have filled out all my paper work for her, and I just hope we can all reach a happy-medium here, because at times I honestly do not have the patience to fight with my kid any more. Maybe part of it is her age, she is starting to develop (yikes) and has a new found attitude. She likes boys way too much for almost being 10, she thinks she should have a cell phone (NO WAY), and she thinks dishes, laundry and dinner are done by the magic fairy. She honestly has 2 sides to her..1. VERY sweet, caring and loving 2. she is a liar, she steals small things, and she FORGETS everything like lunchbox, jacket, she just seems like she has not a care in the world..It's like she is a hippie's kid..But despite everything, she has a sweet soul, and I love her with all my heart and just want her to be happy, healthy and get good grades (which are suffering from her lack of interest)

Cade is also going to the DR...He has a wart..I know its gross. We froze it off in July, ourselves but "Frank" has grown back triple the size and its bad now. Cade asked me on the way to school the other day, "Mom I want my knuckle back" The wart covers his right index finger's knuckle. I will take a picture of it before..Its like a little cauliflower..

Roxy is getting big. She is about 60 pounds now, and chews everything. She ate the corner of our end table, the corner of the really nice shag rug we have, she chewed up a basketball, every toy I give her is destroyed within 5 minutes. And so far has chewed threw 4 leashes...And cords..

Con is almost 31, on the 26th of this month, I will post later what we do for his birthday...I am still working out at Lifetime, but I have cut back to help Conley at the office and car washes a lot more. I spend almost everyday, from about 9-3 at his office, and we are busy. Now only if I could get that paycheck..

Cade playing guitar

Cade loves to steal Teagan's things and tease her, but he was just playing along to a song on tv here...

Saturday

Our day started out with Teagan playing volleyball. She made 5 serves in a row over, and got 5 points. She did this a few times. They have a rule you can't get more than 5 points in 1 turn, or obviously the games wouldn't be very fair. But they won 2 out of 3 games:) After this I took the kids grocery shopping. It was all good until the kids got bored and started playing tag though out the aisles, and Teagan loaded up my cart with dry pinto beans and almonds..She LOVES to push my buttons. Well we were just about done, and then they found turkey basters. Teagan started trying to suck Cade's blood out, then he started poking her with one, and it was just a downward spiral from there. At the checkout they have Christmas wrapping paper now..Well while I am trying to check out, they are playing swords and beating the crap out of each other. Finally I walk over grab both of them, and then they try to go back. So the cashier says "Those are to buy not to play with" And the cashier made a comment about if I was going to have more kids, and I told her are you kidding? So after this, I took the kids to the Dollar store (I sware I am crazy today) I needed to get a few things for Cade's friend Lilly, (our neighbor who comes over to play with me and just talk to me, she was turning 5 today) Well I made it out of the Dollar store with no real problems. I then took the kids to Chick Fillet, got lunch came home, unloaded groceries. I have been watching my dad's dog Kira for 11 days so far. She is old like 11 years, but loves to jump up on counters and eat food. I hadn't had any problems until today. I always lock the dogs up when I leave, Roxy in her kennel and I just let Kira stay in the guest room. Well when I came back from the b-day party Kira had opened the guest door..AND ATE THE BRAND NEW LOAF OF LOW FAT WHEAT BREAD....I was so pissed because that's MY bread, and I just paid like 4 bucks for that today...So anyways, after this Conley met us at the Outback for dinner, since he'd been working all day. Funny thing about this is, the manager came over to ask us how our experience was, and said Conley had looked un happy the entire time, and I said well he always looks like this, then he gave us 50% off our bill! Now I'm sitting here writing this blog, while Teagan is downstairs scaring Cade so he is now afraid to sleep in the basement...And Kira smells like something has died inside her. Think that covers Saturday..Tomorrow we have to pick up my dad from the airport, since he was in Hawaii for all this time, and that's about it.
We are all healthy, the kids have been very healthy, I will be taking Teagan in for a follow up on her heart murmur, and her ADHD, her teacher thinks it would help her now, so I need to do that. Cade also needs his wart "Frank" removed. We thought we killed it, but it is growing back bigger now, taking up his whole knuckle.

Thursday(Snow Day 2)

Wow, I never thought 2 days in the house with 2 kids and 2 dogs would be so FUN!!! Just kidding:) I had Con take me to the grocery store this morning before he went to work..I didn't want to miss the big sale at King Soopers for today only! 1.99 12 packs of pepsi products, and 1.88 bags of good candy..I'll update more later. So far its still snowing, (light) but we probably have over a foot of snow, but some areas like my deck are up to 3 feet, and around the house from all the drifts..So fun...

Snow Day Today (Wednesday)

It hasn't happened in a long time, I don't think the kids had a snow day last year, but they both have 1 today...I'm not sure what we will be doing, so far its been crazy. Cade loves to take showers now and has to have all his "guys" in the shower with him. So he is always getting in then out of the shower and getting all the carpet wet, then I walk in it with my socks. I am dog sitting Kira my dad's yellow lab who is 11 years old. Roxy just wants to play with her, Kira is like whatever I just want to sleep. Roxy loves the snow, she is chasing it, and chasing the flakes and eating it, Kira is like whatever I have seen snow already. Good thing I went grocery shopping yesterday:)
Right now Cade is walking Kira around the house with her leash on, and Roxy is stuck in her corner, she is too excited. And Cade just got hit in the face with a volleyball Teagan kicked at him, then they threw magnet darts at each other..Its only 8am...I do love my kids very much, they are so fun to watch sometimes.

I put most of my pictures on Facebook..
