Was going to be vent/whine, but not now

Okay, driving home from dropping Matt off at school (late again), I had this

whole vent/rant/whine post in my head ready to send. People here don't stop

at stop signs, they pull out of side streets like they own the main street,

I'm so fat and out of shape it's hard to get out of my own way, and 2 radio

stations here are ALREADY playing x-mas music.

Well, that's not important anymore. :-) When I got to Matt's school, he was

whining, etc. Didn't want to go, blah, blah, blah, nothing new. We're

walking across the playground and I see his teacher walking into the

classroom and I say " There's Miss Nicki, wanna go see her? " and he made the

sign for " yes " and started running toward the classroom. :-) Then, we get

there, and he climbs right up on the stepstool they have and start hanging

up his jacket and backpack. :-) So grownup. Course, he whined when I

left, but I KNEW it was for show only. BTW, also let the girl he

can't stand in class give him a hug yesterday, and then stepped back and

smiled. Things ARE improving!! :-)

Then, after composing the vent whine post in my head on the way home,

there's a message from his developmental ped that isn't on our insurance and

we have an appointment for on 12/3. Last time I had to pay $210 because no

one told me I needed a referral. Well, I faxed Matt's ped Monday with the

notes from the previous visit, and VIOLA! the developmental ped has the

referral ALREADY and I only need to pay the copay of $15. My credit card is

VERY happy!!! :-) So, all in all, the day is going good. The idiot drivers

can run into each other for all I care, I'll change the radio station, and

well, I can't do much about being a cow overnight, but every little bit of

exercise I do around the house counts. :-)

Thanks for listening!

I am so thrilled that things are going well. I had ALOT of problems with

insurance companies and it sounds like you've got that all under control.

I've been feeling really bad about myself lately too. When my mom asked what

I wanted for Christmas I told her a gym membership. Then I just have to

convince my husband to set a time every day for me to go.

That's really impressive that he can hang up his jacket. My keeps

trying to hang it up with her sleeve LOL

Well, the teacher helped him, but it convinced me to go find a decent

looking coat rack to hang up where he can reach it so he can get in the

habit of doing it here at home too.

As for feeling yucky about myself, I promptly went to a Chinese restaurant

after picking matt up from school and now have enough Chinese food to last a

couple days. doesn't eat it, but I found out likes crab

rangoon. :-) I found an AWESOME pedometer online that measures steps,

calories, distance and also reads your pulse. THink maybe I'll splurge and

get it for myself for x-mas and start walking like I'd planned to do now

that he's in school. I CAN'T go through another Vegas summer this big.

Great about the hanging up! But I think that our kids do those things at

school much more easily because of the clear routine. I was amazed by how

competent and organized Putter was at school when he first went, well, after

he had been there for a while when he first went. I believe he spent his

time having tantrums the first week....

And really GREAT news about the insurance. Hooray!

sWarehouse.com They have a bunch, and this one was less than $40.

I'll have to wait and see how some of my ebay auctions sell before I buy

anything. Plus, I have a birthday coming up. Maybe I can wiggle it out of

somebody. :-)
