My Obsession

I know I promised an update about a certain little squishy one, but my brain is turning to mush between-

1. Cardiology visits
2. Lasix, Captopril, Reglan, Zantac
3. Reflux
4. ATTEMPTING to order Neomed feeding tubes and dealing with the "customer service" rep who keeps telling me she'll call me back after she talks to her supervisor.. We are now on day 2 and a certain treasure needs a new tube in 3 days.
5. Social Security Administration- need I say more?!!!
6. Medical Insurance customer service representatives- need I say more?!!
7. Bending and bending and bending a certain little boy's glasses after he took a tumble several days ago.
8. Pediatrician visits and nurses who just aren't very chipper!
9. Legal paperwork
10. Homestudy update paperwork.....and obtaining pet vaccinations, septic tank approvals, medicals for entire family x7, 911 call reports, fingerprints....you get the picture.
11. Obtaining proper documentation for home health providers.
12. Picking up prescribed formula for little bit.
13. Obsessing about every. single. ounce. that a certain precious girl digests.
14. Homeschooling.
15. Guitar lessons.
16. Visiting SS office.
17. Applying for transfer of Medicaid for our newest treasure.
18. Scrubbing and scrubbing reflux yuck out of beautiful newborn clothes.
19. Trying to decide how often Charlie still needs PT. Did I mention he is walking like a mad man?!!
20. Filling out and scheduling therapy evals for little bit.
21. Working on putting coins in the piggy bank (with Charlie! and he is GOOD!).
22. Covering pinecones with peanut butter and birdseed with my middle.
23. Contacting (and harassing!!) every doctor and therapist Charlie has for "statements of need" to prove he has special needs. Really?! Is that necessary?
24. Visiting post office. Or at least thinking that I need to every single day. Anyone want to be my courier?
25. Laundry.
26. Searching for nose pieces for a little boy's glasses. Where in the world do they go?!?!
27. Planning and scheduling a visit to a cosmetology school with our 18 year old. And gathering all needed paperwork to go with us. So crazy that our youngest and oldest are 18 years apart!
28. PT, OT, Speech
29. Recycling and taking trash
30. Cleaning my garage
31. Going to the playground and enjoying leaving my phone, dishes, vacuum and laundry at home because more important that #1-30 are 6 people whom God has blessed me with!!


Oh, and did I mention that a super cute little boy's favorite place is NOT strapped down in a stroller or car seat?! So, visiting place to place to place is not his idea of fun. Nor is it mine.

Please- I AM NOT COMPLAINING!! Don't leave me nasty comments about how selfish I am or "why do you have 5 children if you are going to gripe about it!". I LOVE my family and EACH ONE OF MY CHILDREN! But, a girl's gotta have something to take her mind off the madness, don't you think? I'm not a buyer of new things, but when I discovered this I was ecstatic! So now, once a day I check my amazon account to find out where it is. And guess what? It will be here tomorrow!!!! Sad, I know. If only it would come with a free bag of peanut butter M&Ms (right, Dawn?!:)!!


I think I might just name her. Or should it be a him? Now, if only he/she would clean my floors without any assistance!:)

In Him,

E

I remember stressing about every ounce, every calorie too. And Claire has reflux too, so then I was trying to account for calories in vs those spit back up! :)

I wish I knew what said item was? Lookes like a floor cleaner of some sort ;)Yes?
My list is similar but way different. Would love if we had time to talk and sort through these things together. I know Little Gs glasses arent the cutest things ever. BUT. Since they are plastic no worries about nosepieces, bending and breaking. They have a great elastic strap to make sure they stay on her head too! The name on them is Mira flex. Only around $60. LOVE them.
THeres 18 years between our oldest and youngest too. Mindboggling.
