For a disscussion about last nights season premier of Grey’s Anatomy.
My thoughts on it…
I for one thought the part with the deer was so lame and way to “out there”. John hates the show anyway but I force him to watch it. He always makes fun ofi t but he promised not to last night. He had the hardest time keeping his mouth shut through all of that.
I don’t like how they didn’t really explain what happened over the summer. Like why George decided to do the intern thing again. I for one would like to know.
It felt weird without Addison and Burke. I don’t really like Lexie, she is annoying.
The good parts were definitely Meredith and McDreamy breaking up cause I hate her. Burke being gone was good too because Christina is way too cool for him. I also like that Ava and Alex are going to get together.
I have mixed feelings about George and Izzy because I really love Callie. I think they should set her up with McDreamy cause she deserves better than George.
Overall I loved it. I am glad it is back and that Meredith wasn’t on it much this episode haha!
Okay so what was everyone elses thoughts and feelings on it?
Monday was Gavin’s first day of preschool and it went very well. We are still working out the bus thing so I dropped him off both Monday and today. He didn’t even look back once he got to the classroom. He has always been so independent like that. I decided to take Keaton to the gym while we waited to pick up Gavin (its easier to get a spot for one kid in their over crowded daycare). We also ran some errands and it just felt so weird only having Keaton. I carried my cell phone with me the entire time assuming they were going to call and tell me Gavin was being a jerk and I needed to come pick him up. That never happened. When we went back to pick him up his teacher said he did very well. He didn’t want to sit for circle time, but she talked him into it by letting him pick the songs on the CD player. He even sat down for their project time and made a frog that is proudly displayed on my fridge. Continue reading ‘He’s officially a preschooler’
First I have to ask if anyone saw Jenny McCarthy on 20/20 the other night? I DVR’ed my shows while I was in TX and I am just catching up now. Anyway I watched it tonight and I bawled my eye out. It was just about her discovering her son Evan is autistic. She talked about all the little things he did that she just thought were cute, but really they were warning signs. It reminded me so much about how things have been for us the last year. It was also about how she has changed his life and basically cured him with the casein and gluten free diet. We were going to do it back at the beginning of this year, but things came up and we never did. I am really wanting to give it a try now. Especially with our move to TX and access to better health food stores. Continue reading ‘School Starts Monday’
Well you made it to 3, who knew we’d be able to keep you alive for all that time? I certainly had my doubts about it. Over the past three years you have grown into one of the most extraordinary people I know. You are spunky, smart, funny, and most importantly yourself. You’ve come so far. Even last year our lives were a ball of worry and a feeling of unknown. This year we know that you are going to be just fine. We know you’ll grow up to do whatever you want to do.
We love you so much Gavin. Thank you so much for teaching us that there are ways to overcome. Thank you for renewing my faith in god. Thank you for defying the odds and showing us there is no such thing as typical. Most of all thank you for always being such a happy kid. May you always keep your happy spirit.
Jocelin Rae
3lbs 11.8oz
18 inches (tall girl)
She came out screaming!
Mom is doing well.
Jocelin is on a bubble Cpap machine right now. She’s doing very well. She will remain in the hospital for 3-4 weeks. She is said to have a little bit of dark hair and the smaller nose then her sister Maddie had. Her Dad says she looks like a little old ladie hehe.
My sister Kara is having to be induced today at 33 weeks with my little niece Jocelin. She has toxemia and it has gotten so bad it has restricted the babies growth. Little Jocelin is only in the 10% for her gestation age and will have to spend a lot of time in the NICU. Please keep them in your prayers. I will update you as soon as she arrives. I am on my way to TX soon!
****Update****
Baby is in distress so she is going in for a C-section. Please pray!
I seriously think I pissed off God. I haven’t been to church in a long time. Okay a long long long time. I am crappy with prayer, and I believe tithing is a waste of money. I also love that song “what if god were one of us”. God in his furry of hate and loathe against me for being a crappy christian, created the show Yo Gabba Gabba. Worse he made my kids love it. My kids are hypnotized by this crap. Crap is exactly what it is. It doesn’t even make sense. Yesterday they had a song about when you get hurt you need to shake it off. Way to teach our kids to be tough skinny guy and six freaky robot/aliens/whatever the hell they are. Continue reading ‘Whatever I did to piss off god…I am sorry’
I will start by saying I have never been happier in my life to have people agree with me that my child is grossly behind. I had myself convinced that when I showed up for his appointment, we would be blown off like we have been so many times before. Instead we were greeted by a team of some of the most knowledgeable and understanding ladies I have ever met. After 2 1/2 hours of testing, (which Gavin coped out at the end refusing to participate. So we have to finish his Preschool Language scale test.) we learned the following: Continue reading ‘Preschool Eval’
Lots of Gavin goodness in this one (including a song). Although I was really hoping for him to recite the entire Goodnight moon book for you, he was not going to do it. I will have to catch it later, cause seriously the kids got it down pat.
Can I just tell you how much I hated early intervention? Its not the program in general, because I always hear such success storied from other people and how much EI was a part of said success. For us, not so much. Gavin entered the program back in November. Well technically services for him started in January. Since then we’ve had nothing but missed appointments (from his therapists), been told we were liars (in not so many words), have heard every diagnosis under the sun (from people not educated to give us a diagnosis, and had so many people drop the ball its getting to the point where I have to blink to make sure this is real.
Four months ago Gavin should have met with our district to be evaluated to see if he qualifies for their services. FOUR MONTHS AGO. His developmentalist who was in charge o setting this up just never bothered to give his information over to them. So when I finally brought it up with her because I was starting to wonder why it hadn’t’ happened she gave the excuse that she thought we were moving. The funny thing about that, and its funny sad not funny HAHA is that we never gave a time frame on our move. I mentioned it in passing. The other funny sad thing is that every visit during those 4 months she would ask “have you got a call yet from the district”. Interesting that she thought we should have been getting a call from the district, then later admits she thought we were moving so never handed over Gavin’s info to them. We even explained to her that even if we move really soon, we want him to be evaluated so we can take a copy of that to TX with us and say “see, they thought he qualified in Utah”.
