It's rainy here today. Making broccoli cheese soup and grilled cheese for lunch. Got a load of laundry going with my little man's help. He loves helping so much. I'll have him gather the ingredients for lunch for me. He'll probably want to butter the bread for the grilled cheese too.

I still can't believe he's 2. He had his first dental checkup yesterday. The hygienist said that his teeth are in excellent condition. Also found out that he's 34 inches tall and 29 lbs, 11 oz. Tall kid! No wonder he has size 8 feet.

 He is so cute! And what a good helper! They are so much fun :)

Wanna hear something crazy? DD had her 18 month appointment recently and she was 34.25 inches tall already! She's a giant, lol.

---

 Wow! Tall girl! Are both your DDs tall?

DH is 5'11 and I'm 5'9. I'm guessing DS will top 6' full grown.

He enjoyed helping with the sandwiches. He also supervised the soup and made sure to tell me that steam was rising from the pot. He's now helping his Daddy with dishes.

---

 Yes they are both tall, although DD1 is looking like she will give DD7 (eta:whoops.. she is DD8 now) a run for her money. I'm 5'6'' and DH is 6'. 

She likes helping too, her favorite is unloading the dishwasher.

 Please send her to my house.  I loath unloading the dishwasher.  I usually do it in fits & spurts during commercials.

---

 Of course! Wait.. you are ok with all your dishes being put into the same 3 cupboards that she can reach, correct?

NJN...any update on the kidney stone front?

 Is DH still alive???

 We're both alive.  He left me temporarily to run errands.  I can't say I'm upset.  He wanted to be the martyr and do all the errands himself.  I let him.  He's out getting more pain pills and the rest of the meds our insurance wouldn't let us get yesterday.  He's also getting the poop stuff.  Oh, and some movies I rented.  The kidney stone doesn't seem to be going anywhere.  I'm not sure how much longer I can take this but he has an appointment with the urologist tomorrow at three and wants me to go with.  He expects me to stay awake with him when he can't sleep so I am sorely lacking sleep.  I am irritated a lot because some of this could have been avoided.  His creatine levels, which measure kidney function, have been on the rise for the last two years now.  He kept saying he'd worry about it when it became a problem.  Well, here we are.  If they rise too high he will start losing kidney function.  I used to be a dialysis nurse for awhile and know about this.  I gave him a lecture about taking care of himself so he could see his son graduate.  Don't think it did any good.  I guess life will just continue this way until the stone passes.

Tonight I'm ordering pizza because that's all I can deal with at this point.

Oh, this has to end soon, NJN.

Oy, what a bummer, NJN.

I guess the bright side is, you haven't murdered him....yet!

I hope the doctor will be able to do something to help him tomorrow.

Hang in there!

Sending good thoughts and hugs your way!

Thanks! And keep the bail money ready.

Roger that!

Let me know if you need any help hiding a body! 

just saw they updated the murder charge to first degree. hum still no motive etc. given

NJN don't get any ideas but in your case it would be justifiable homicide

Hope he feels better soon and you get some much needed sleep

Thanks all. I'm sorry for venting so much. It's difficult. Men are not good patients. And when he is sick everyone has to be miserable. I've been so busy trying to deal with him and the insurance that I did not even realize DS has skipped his chores the last two days. So now I get to be mean again. Sigh.

Lexxy, it's not the water per se. It's all the things leading up to the water. I can totally relate to her. DH was standing in front of the bathroom mirror doing an assessment on himself to see just how sick he was. He kept sticking his face in mine asking me to measure his pupils to see how the pain pills were taking effect. Yep, you lose it over a bottle of water.

And to top it off, I'm trying to run a fever.

When it rains, it pours.

Just got a letter saying my monthly insurance premiums are going up $30. And my prescription deductible is going up. Generic will increase 400%, name brands will be unobtainable.

 You can always write Obama a thank you note.

 Yep. 

My monthly premium is now $189. It's going up $30.

I have a 20% deductible on office visits and hospital stays.

Prescriptions are crazy.

And once I hit a certain number, the costs go up until I hit the other number.

It's that lovely donut hole thing.

 

My husbands movie ended earlier than thought. I hope he gets another show/movie soon : (

 That lunch sounds great!

Dad is home and settled on the couch. He requested soup for dinner, so I stopped on my way home from work and picked some up. I promised I would make some home-made this weekend if he wants. He looks good and is acting as normal as he gets. He is currently wearing the blanket NAOW got me as a hat.

I am happy to have him home. But also happy I get to go to work. Mom is hope this week with him, if I didn't have the excuse of work, someone would die.

 Yay! He's home. 

 

Spouse likes the new dentist. He fixed her tooth quickly and painlessly.

I have a co-worker that has rescheduled his last four appointments, he is avoiding the dentist.  He sent his boss and me an email last night letting us know he will be leaving early on the 18th for his appointment. Boss replied asking, DG, wanna bet if W makes it to the dentist? I replied, I have a roll of duct tape and an SUV, he's going to the dentist!

 Twas! And it made delish leftovers for dinner

Sooo one of my CC's has many fraudulent charges on it. CC company emailed me late last night. All charges were made since I went away to the mountains. I don't believe I posted anything about that experience. Well I had booked a suite through what I thought was the hotel website, turns out it was Hotelsone The hotel did not have my reservation, long story short Hotelsone.com, aka Expedia, did get us a suite elsewhere but of lesser quality. The Customer Service rep barely spoke English and throughout the two hour ordeal trying to find us another place I had a bad feeling. I had to give him my CC # with security code over the phone. And then the fraud charges started. Of course, I am not responsible for the charges but my CC company won't go after the company. I have not only posted a "review" on the website but also emailed them and left a message for one of the Supervisors.

Good plan !!!  (I Like the way you think)

 

My dad has declared that my blanket has "special powers". He says whenever he lays his head on it or lays under it, he falls asleep. I don't think I'm getting my blanket back.

 I'm sorry you lost your blanket, but I'm happy it helps your dad get some rest!

---

DG, once your Dad is feeling better...snag that blanket back!

Just an idea.

Why do so many people dislike the dentist?

I guess that they must have had a bad experience, at some point, NJN.

And, that makes them nervous. 

I had a bad experience, getting teeth pulled, before I got my braces.

I was young. And I always get a little nervous, going to the dentist, even to this day.

My best guess.

I've had a couple really bad experiences.

And the pain.

I don't think I've ever had any worse.
