I have a lot to be grateful for. I have a lot to be annoyed about, but today I've decided not to be annoyed and to just be glad to have what I do. Even with the sandy water.
A few months ago, I took my kids in for their check-up, and was told that my daughter was well over the average weight for babies her age. She was at the very highest percentage in height, but even so, she was 15 lbs over the highest weight. So they did a blood test to check her thyroid, which came back normal, and then referred me to a child nutritionist in Denver (I find it sad that there is a need for such a thing as a child nutritionist).
We chose not to go to this lady. I know what I feed my children, and I know they eat healthier than a lot of other kids do. My daughter's weight issue wasn't caused by what she was eating, but the amount of milk and juice she was drinking. Due to the fact that she wasn't sleeping through the night and was still waking up two to three times even just a couple months ago, the only way I could get her back to sleep was with a drink...and she would spit out water and keep screaming.
When I learned that she was so overweight, I stopped giving her drinks at night. We spent a few weeks with almost no sleep, because I'd end up sitting up with her, rocking her, singing to her...it didn't work. She wanted a drink. But I didn't give in, and she'd eventually cry herself to sleep, which sucked. Really sucked. But, she started sleeping through the night finally. I should have done that with her when she was still a tiny baby. I hate that I was so...well, I was a wreck for the first year and a half of her life, and I feel terrible about that. I gave her what she wanted because I couldn't cope. So unfair to her, and so different from how I was with my son.
But! I took her to the doctor again this morning, and she's both grown taller and lost weight! She's only two pounds over what she should be now.
I know nobody really cares about other people's kids (I don't...kids are gross...) but I'm just so thankful that God brought us through that, the sleepless nights, all of it. So yay!
Babies...man, I dunno. They're freaky.

It's an ordinary day, but I am not ready for it.
I am not ready for tomorrow
or Yesterday
Or the overmorrow.
My heart feels like a ton of bricks today, the reason? I really couldn't tell ya!

Hopefully your load lightens and the day brightens!

I was going to post my remarks in the thread about things to look for in a Christian mate in my typical cerebral, thought provoking, and highbrow way only - well, they looked serious - so, I wanted to show you what I found today!
it's crystalline quartz. I was thinking if I ever lost my canines these would make some awesome replacements. They seem like they're about the right size and yet ANOTHER thing to look for in a Christian mate!
See how it all ties together?
I tried to find a picture of a guy with crystalline teeth but Billy Crystal and some meth people were all that came up.
Besides this guy...
