No excuses
I do not have any real reason to not be blogging lately.
No really good reason.
I have had many issues with my computer.
It's from 2001 and it was given to me and it is slowly giving up on me.
Hopefully in a few weeks I will be the proud owner of a laptop.
I also have just been tired.
Maybe it's the winter blues.
Maybe its because I cannot get a job.
Well I probably could if my hubby would cooperate a little.
And I have been busy playing with Jonathon as always......
And I now have totake run Andrew to the chiropractor twice per week.
Have doctor appointments coming up.
Fighting to get Jonathon's insurance back before his dental procedure on April 12th.
They decided to cancel him.
I will try to get back on track.
Thank you for reading.
Please don't stop!

Happy Birthday Grandma
Usually this time of year Jonathon is sick so we don't venture out. But for once the temps were not bad and Jonathon is healthy!
So off to Grandma and Grandpas we went to celebrate Grandma's 68th birthday!! Grandma and Grandpa Panczyk live in Croswell. Which is about 60 minute drive for us. So we let Andrew drive ~ he is in stage 1 drivers ed. He did great!
We had a roast and dumpling dinner with salad, green beans and corn from the garden(frozen that is). Then afterward we had cake and pie. It was a good day up until the very end......
I won't even go into detail, because I don't know how to explain the short version except for Grandma called Grandpa the forbidden "R" word! I tried to explain why not to say and brother in law got involved too and then Kenny tried to help out! Lets just say Grandma and Uncle Rob don't get it and did not apologize and we left.
But they are so clueless, that they have no idea how bad they hurt Kenny and I and Andrew and Jonathon. I am pissed.
I will be printing out some information to give them and hopefully one day they will get it. It's pretty sad to admit that your own family members don't think its wrong to use such language!
So I won't be sharing the pictures of Jonathon with his grandma. I don't believe she deserves it .....and I won't be giving the pictures to her either!

First Day Out
Our temps were in the 60's today. Couldn't pass up the chance to try out the new boots and get some much needed fresh spring air!
Thank you brothers for taking a little time out to spend with me! I had lots of fun!

For Jonathon
 | ||
| For me! |
 |
| Oh Wow! |
 | ||
| A little too big |
 | ||
| more boots and boots for mom too |
 | ||
| I like my boots! |
So I bought Jonathon 2 pairs of boots online. I thought maybe with 2 orders one would be correct. Nope. The monkey boots were from Walmart and a great deal $6.00, but they are too big. And the cars are from Disney Store, also great deal $12.99, but they too are too big. Darn it. So I went back online to Disney and ordered cars again. In a smaller size. I just like them better than the monkey boots. Hopefully this size will work for Jonathon. Then I will return these.
His snow boots are a 10 and work ok so I thought a 10 would work for rain boots too. My boots fit fine though.
I cannot wait to get Jonathon outside in the rain, mud, water, you name it, we are going to experience it. (last year I waited too long and couldn't find any boots). I myself have never owned a pair....crazy seems how I live in the country, so this is a new experience for me too. Can't wait!!!
And then I jinxed us! We woke up to NO SCHOOL again!

AND my brother made a quick trip to Florida to visit our mom and is having a hard time getting home today! He already got stuck in Charlotte NC. and is finally back in the air. I hope they let him land in Detroit today! Keeping fingers crossed and prayers they make it home safe. (John and Kim). Love you guys.

Wii
So I now own 2 kid games for the Wii and I am not sure if I like the Wii.
At Christmas time I purchased a Jump Start game for Jonathon. Escape from Adventure Island. Put I didn't think it was user friendly so I put it away.
I have been waiting for Elmo A to Zoo Adventure to go on sale. When I was out last week I finally gave up waiting and purchased it for Jonathon. I was really excited to hook it up and see him play ~ but I was disappointed again.
I guess I am old school ~ Andrew and Kenny learned how to game on PS1. And they had Elmo and they loved it and they learned!
But with the Wii ~ you hold the controller and tilt it one way or the other ~ am I just old or is this confusing to all!!! Jonathon is not understanding what to do ~ he wants to push the buttons. We played for a few minutes and then put it away. Try Try again ~ I guess.
I wish there was something for young ones on PS3 or Xbox ~ just seems easier to push a button ~ to me at least.
Just so you know ~ we have the Wii in our house ~ it's our friend Randy's ~ he bought it 2 years ago ~ brought it over and it's been here ever since ~ sitting ~ collecting dust ~ Kenny has PS3 ~ Andrew has Xbox 360 ~ so I thought Jonathon could learn on the Wii ~ maybe mommy needs to learn how to play it too.

Home Again
Poor Jonathon!
Last week on Monday ~ big brother Kenny stubbed his toe on the wooden movie cabinet in the hallway and by Wednesday we had to take him into the doctors to get checked out.
Monday there was not any school for us. Tuesday Jonathon went to school. Wednesday Jonathon stayed home from school because he did not sleep well Tuesday night. He was up and down all night and then slept in and missed school. So we decided to take Kenny in and see what was broke if anything.
We spent the morning at the pediatricians with Kenny and then we dropped Kenny off at noon and headed to the city to see the new Dentist. Long long day for Jonathon. Then we find out that Kenny needed to go to the orthopedic specialist on Thursday morning at 8:15a.m. which meant another day of no school for Jonathon. I didn't have any way for him to get there or get picked up because I would be in the city with Kenny.
And now to today. I started getting Jonathon dressed and he felt warm. So I took his temp. And he has a low temp. Not that big of a deal except for he normally is at 98.6 and he is at 99.5 so I kept him home again.
Which I am glad that I did because he is not playing. He is lounging around. And watching his new Bambi movie. I hope with rest today that he is better tomorrow. I don't want him sick again, but He has been in alot of different public places lately.
Pediatrician (2) New Dentist (1) xray office (2) and orthopedic Dr. (1). YIKES
And Kenny is o.k. Broken toe ~ little toe ~ using buddy tape. go back in 2 weeks.

Met New Dentist
On Wednesday we made our trip down to the city to meet the new dentist.
The dentist office is 3 minutes down the road from the eye center. This makes me very happy because I know exactly where to go and how long it will take me to get there.
We arrived early so I could fill out paperwork. Then the receptionist explained to me that they told me 2:30p.m. so I had time to fill out paperwork with an appointment time 3p.m. Oops. Didn't pay to be early. We got there at 2p.m. Oh well.
By the time Jonathon, Andrew and I went back to meet the dentist it was after 3p.m. and Jonathon was being a little busy body.(he does not like to go out in the afternoon). Andrew tried to keep him busy while I spoke with the dentist.
The dentist was very informational. He made me feel much better that it is not our fault that Jonathon has a couple of cavities. His assistant gave me some pointers on brushing teeth also. Which I have tried and it is working. We now count to 5. Jonathon opens his mouth ~ I brush and count to 5 ~ then he gets to spit ~ then we start over ~ when we first started I counted pretty fast to 5 ~ now I take more time to get to 5.
We are now waiting on a phone call to set up his time and day for the procedure to get done. He will be asleep (like getting tubes in). they will take xrays, then fillings, then cleaning. The whole procedure from beginning to end should be about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I still don't like Jonathon being put to sleep, but this needs to be done and I trust Childrens Of Detroit Doctors and I am comfortable with this dentist that he will take could care of my baby.
More on dental procedure to come.
