Week In Review:
I know, I know! This is hardly a "timely" fashion for the post! I just really had a rough last couple of days and needed a small sabbatical from cyber-space, spent some quality time with my family and just kinda laid around and did nothing but watch Breaking Amish season 1 on YouTube. I also attended a fabulous Veteran's Day Program at Ben's school Friday. Pictures are posted on Instagram and Twitter. I am including them here also for those of you who don't follow me (shame on you)!!
My RA is another problem I've been having since the weather is changing. My wrists are horribly twisted and swollen, my fingers, just a crippled, disfigured mess. It's not a perty sight. The right one at this very moment, feels as if its broken....OK, maybe not broken, but at least sprained. It's bad news, ladies. I have been slowly weaning off my meds (its just too expensive to afford - my otherwise wonderful insurance doesn't cover the particular compounded medicine that I take therefore I'm S.O.L.) I am gonna try to get into see a Rheumatoid specialist, maybe start some type of new therapy, homeopathic or modern - IDK at this point. I just don't want to hurt anymore. So, its been painful to do anything, let alone blog. I hate it, this is enjoyable for me. I look forward to doing this, I love it.
OK, enough of my whining...we've all been waiting since WEDNESDAY for something new, so ta-da, enjoy!!

....On An Unrelated Note:
Ben brought home his school pictures Friday afternoon. Let me just say this before y'all judge me. This kid of mine has NEVER taken a bad picture. He is the most photogenic child I've ever met! He poses at the drop of a hat, takes pride in his dashing good looks and just knows how to turn it on when it comes to pictures, especially school pics that I'm over-paying for! He brings me home this:
I paid $50 for THIS?!?!?! |
AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! I told the little stinker when he left that morning just 3 things:
- DO NOT BUTTON YOUR TOP BUTTON OF YOUR SHIRT - UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES (he buttoned it)
- DO NOT MESS WITH YOUR HAIR - UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES (he told me right before pics, he went to the bathroom, wet his hands and smoothed the water through his hair)
- DO NOT SMILE LIKE IT HURTS (so what does he do? Growls at the damn camera)
Maybe I'm being to tough on him, they ARE cute, really cute, but I know what this boy's capable of producing and honestly, that ain't it. I was expecting something more like this:
Isn't this picture BEAUTIFUL?!?!?!? |
Perfect smile, hair messy but cute, not all awkward and weird-looking! IDK, like I said, maybe I'm just being too judgemental. I remember my 2nd grade pics.....my mom, God bless her, was just HORRIBLE when it came to doing hair, so imagine what I looked like....and if I'm not mistaken, I think.....no, OK, I KNOW that I was snarling in mine too!!! WOW!!! I'm feeling a lot better about this picture business now! Typing it out just knowing that y'all will be reading it, probably laughing a bit or thinking what a mean, lousy mom I am or something else nasty, discrediting my parenting skills (you know you are - I do the same damn thing) to better your own, has actually made me feel better! I'm not gonna hide them - I'm gonna proudly send them to all my relatives outta state, give them to the neighbor girls, pass them out like free tickets to the zoo (do you get those too, constantly?)!!
Next Week:
- Newborn Nonsense: 10-12 months (pt. 4)
- It's My Birthday: A week of my FAVES - food, fashion, beauty, entertainment & more

OK, its late, I gotta get to bed! See ya next week!
Peace, Love & Light
Katie
