Long time residents of Fla always know its fall from the tell-tale lessening of humidity in the air. Don't get me wrong, its still 90 degrees, its just a more comfortable 90 degrees. Only true Floridians can recognize the difference. So, since fall is in the air, we dis-assembled T's pool. Of course, it was also gross on the bottom, and that played into our decision, too. Its now out on the trash heap, along with the walker, which was rusting up nicely. I give the walker about 50 minutes, before some intrepid junk man snags it from the pile.
Lots of Dr action coming up:
We were at the dr on thursday for T's parotid gland. Guess no news is good news, as the plan is to watch it to see if it happens again. If so, we'll consider an MRI or cat scan. Follow up appt is on Oct. 9th. Seems there's some discrepancy with T's weight. At the pediatrician, she was 42 pounds, which I thought was a bit too heavy. At the other doctor, she's 36 pounds, which seems more likely.
Take my mom on the 8th for her new hearing aid...the third one she's had and the first one covered by insurance. She can lose it one more time and it will be replaced again, but she'll be dropped from the policy as "high risk".
I go in on the 1st for a needle biopsy. Seems the calcifications in one of my boobs appear to be clumping again, despite the drugs i'm on, and they're going to suck them out and test them, to see what's up. This will be the 3rd needle biopsy I've had. Each time, they're nothing, so i'm not worried.
Meanwhile, we have big plans tomorrow...its a surprise. All T knows is that she can wear a princess dress and full regalia out of the house. That's a big, big deal. She's already been warned that no, we're not going to disney. We're doing something else. Thanks to Emma's mom, I scored tix to Disney on Ice for 1/2 price. Show starts at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow.
Today, we just ran errands. Bought my mom some new clothes, as she's getting really skinny. Seems a side affect of aricept is lack of appetite. Plus, I suspect she forgets to eat. So I bought her 2 pants and some shirts in a smaller, petite size. Hope she likes them. I'll be stealing her old worn out clothes that she wears everyday out of her closet.
That's it for now, hope everyone has a great weekend.
Welcome 2nd Grade!!
No more sleeping late for us! It's back to school time!

Yay!, we did Disney on Ice two weeks ago. If it's the Princess show, T. will love it. Lots of Ariel, Mulan and Jasmine action and the whole 2nd half is Cinderella. If you can score one of the coloring books, they're a little pricey but cool cool pictures inside. We also bought the popcorn in the bucket - I cringed at ten bucks for popcorn but we've gotten serious mileage out of the large plastic princess bucket. Sara carries everything around in it.
I would say you have a lot going on and a real road runner. One good thing - no report of T being in trouble all week so the Ice Show is her reward. xox
well, I just forgot to report it, but T got into a dust up with little johathan on tuesday. she, of course, claims he started it, which I don't believe. She hit him and he retaliated by throwing a block at her, resulting in a fat lip. Life's tough on the playground these days.
Somewhat in her defense, she was overtired, b/c she she had refused to go to bed the night before until midnight. It was like she was on speed or something. I felt like hitting somebody, too, the next day. Luckily, I have a bit more control than she.
Playground Rule: DON'T MESS WITH T.
