RN, I have to leave in a few minutes to take the kids to the dr. Dakota's at her friends so I have to go over with her clothes and let her get ready there. I just grabbed Caleb's clothes out of his drawers (didn't want to spend 20 minutes on "can't find my shirt," "can't find my socks," etc.) I came out and told him his socks, boxers, jeans, and tshirt were laying on his bed and he got the snotty, puberty attitude with me...

"Ughhh mom! Why do I have to wear all that????" What, clothes? LOL. Then he wanted to know if he really had to put boxers on. I had to explain that since they have gotten older the drs office usually has each of them see a same-sex dr. Caleb sees the man, Dakota sees the woman (unless it's a strictly allergy/asthma appt and she sees the man cuz that's his specialty) but since the kids are sharing an appt today I don't know who they're going to see. I told him he didn't have to wear them, but I can't garuntee who they're going to see and if he ends up having to drop his pants he might not be too happy about that if he ain't wearing them. LOL, he ran in real quick to put them on!

Rn Escapee, he likes them just fine but this is summer break and they get in the way of him being a bum, lol.

We had a good appt. Dakota has swimmers ear, if ya haven't started puberty talks, do it (I have already,) and after talking with the dr (I'd been on the fence about this) she's going to get the gardasil shot, also needs a chicken pox booster but we set it up so that we can go in after all stars is over. Dr said she might be worried about Dakota's weight, except that she knows Dakotas playing softball and how active that is and she sees she's lost a lot of the uhm...pudginess (except her tummy) and has a lot of muscle. Best of all she was really pleased with how well under control Dakota's asthma is. She's 4'6" tall.

Caleb's appt was far more traumatic, poor kid. He has a small hernia on his left testicle she wants to keep an eye on, she agreed that the curvature of his spine seems a bit worse and is sending him for x-rays so they can compare next year, she had a long puberty talk with him (he'll never be able to look at her again, lol.) She prescribed some medicated facial wipes for his acne and told him to use it with the over the counter stuff he's already using and finally she confirmed that he'd have to have 3 shots today. I think after everything else she put him through he was a little relieved to get the shots!

All in all though, it was a very good appointment and I'm reminded once again why I really like these doctors.

RN I just got through helping my mother find someone to come and set up some cages on her roof to catch some raccoons. There is a whole family of them up on her roof and they are starting to pull at plastic siding off of the air conditioners upstairs in an attempt to get inside. We called the city first, but they sent someone here only to inform us that the city doesn't handle raccoons anymore. They will only handle cats now! So we had to call a private business to take care of it. Hope they will catch them. I live right next door and am fearing for my attic as well. I have lots of stuff stored up there and wouldn't want something like that to get in! :-(

RN: DD is not yet five, so I'll wait on the puberty talks and the gardisil for a while yet. I wonder if my little sister has had it though, she's 15, and I seriously doubt it, seeing as that she lives with my dad in the boonies and he's oblivious to anything except his current squeezes, which change like the tides.

RN, My doctors wants me to get gardasil since I have't been introduced to the virus.

I'm thinking about it, but it's 3 shots...and I HATE shots. :-(

RN, yeah she's a bit young for the puberty talks. Our position has been to answer questions, age appropriately, as they ask and then summer between 4th and 5th grade to get into the specific, gender appropriate puberty talks. Cuz at the begining of 5th grade they do the talk at school and they should be having those talks at home first with the school filling in anything we may have missed or expanding on topics rather than being their only source of information.

I've gone back and forth on the gardisil since I heard about it. Did a bunch of reading and still wasn't too sure. There's a family history of cervical cancer in my family ( my mom and her sister and their mom) and if I can take away some chances of certain types of it happening to Dakota, that's not a bad thing. But, I'm caught up on the fact that this is a relatively new thing and while they've done the studies and all, it's not like they have years of facts to back it up. Could problems related to this shot pop up in 5, 10, 20 years? That worries me. In the end it pretty much came down to the family history and if we can eliminate even a fraction of the risk of some types of cervical cancer, it's worth it. Now, I'm pretty comfortable with the decision to get it for her, though I can certainly understand why other parents and women would choose not to get it either.

RN Neko, I don't want to scare you but you should be prepared. I have read over and over, and the dr confirmed it today, that it is a very painful series of shots. Getting it is painful and in the days after it hurts like heck, or so dr said. And that's why we set it up for her to get it after softball is over. LOL, she'd never forgive me if I made her get it the weekend of her all star games!

RN I just called my granny to talk about the Cubs, and this really sweet lady's voice I didn't recognize, younger than granny, answered the phone. So I said "Hi, is this the "xxxx" residence? I'm calling to talk to Joan, my grandmother.
And the voice says to me "Naja, this is your MOTHER!"...I said "I didn't recognize you talking so sweet", and she said "I wouldn't have answered so sweet if I knew it was you"...and we laughed and laughed...LOL

RN, Dakota's cracking me up. Her coach told them today they could keep their jersey's (we'd been told they had to be turned in) and the girls were so excited. Darren offered to hang Kota's up on her bedroom wall for her and she flat out refused, she has every intention of wearing it constantly. She's sound asleep curled up in it!

RN I am listening to John Denver and am bummed that there will not be anymore music from him.

Thinking...

Another thought...

Listening to a show last night about tribute bands, I am not aware of any that sing old John Denver songs.

Anyone?

RN Tiernet reminded me of how much I love John Denver's voice. I googled and found that there are some tribute bands. I listened to the first one. He isn't bad but just made me miss JD more.

RN just got this email:

MASTERCARD WEDDING?

Also known as: "Clemson Wedding" or "Wedding Revenge."

[This is NOT a true story. It's a really enjoyable Urban Legend, and I love it!]

You got to love this guy. This is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at Clemson University. It was in the local newspaper and even Jay Leno mentioned it. It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests.

After the wedding, at the reception, the groom got up on stage with a microphone to talk to the crowd He said he wanted to thank everyone for coming, many from long distances, to support them at their wedding.

He especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception. As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give everyone a special gift just from him. So taped to the bottom of everyone's chair, including the wedding party was an envelope. He said this was his gift to everyone, and asked them to open their envelope.

Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his bride having sex with the best man. The groom had gotten suspicious of them weeks earlier and had hired a private detective to tail them.

After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said, "F--- you!" Then he turned to his bride and said, "F--- you!" Then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, "I'm outta here."

He had the marriage annulled first thing in the morning. While most people would have canceled the wedding immediately after finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with the charade, as if nothing were wrong.

His revenge--making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for a 300 guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the bride's and best man's reputations in front of 300 friends and family members. This guy has balls the size of church bells.

Do you think we might get a MasterCard "priceless" commercial out of this?

Elegant wedding reception for 300 family members and friends: $32,000.

Wedding photographs commemorating the Occasion: $3,000

Deluxe two week honeymoon accommodations in Maui: $8,500

The look on everyone's face when they see the 8x10 glossy of the bride humping the best man: Priceless

There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's MASTERCARD!
