Stuff

Appointment #2 at the dentist office was today and it went great! Yay, well i won't say that it may be because he only got his teeth cleaned. Nope.

Home schooling is going wonderful. Andrew is learning to read phonically and is doing super amazing. I will sound out words and get him to write how he thinks it's spelled. He's usually right on. Math, he's learning to add still, but now with bigger numbers. Subtract. Greater and lesser. The ones the tenths place. He can count by 10's and 5's. And patterns. He's learning about how to use a map (Geography). Some science. And LOTS of art. I want to get him into swimming lessons and some sort of self defense class but i haven't figured out which one to go with yet. As for music i hope to get him into some local choir soon.

Health wise he's good. Still a fussy eater but were working on that still, sigh.

Don has had a very sore leg for about 2 months now. He went in to see the Dr about it. He ordered an Xray and ultrasound. He had the xray about 2 weeks ago, and the U/S last Fri. The tech girl said that she seen a cyst under both knee caps but the one that is really sore could quite possibly be sore because it looks like it may have erupted. We won't know anything more until our Dr gets back from his mini leave in the beginning of Aug. (his wife had a baby)...

Me.. Well, not so great. But not bad, i hope. I have been having this horrible on and off again pain in my left side for some time now. Dr did blood work and some of the stuff came back not that great. My white blood cell are low and some other crap but i forget. He told me to get it re-checked in 2 mths, if it was still low he would send me to a specialist. I got it re-checked and it was lower then before and i have become anemic. So he has set me up to see a Oncologist/hematologist on Oct 6th at our local hospital. I just hope it's not cancer.

Well that's about it.

Dentist

Well, first off the appointment wasn't on Monday, it was today. And it didn't go great. Andrew was really great for the dentist but we found out that he has about 4 cavities that NEED to get filled :( And the estimated cost? Around $700.00. Not much more to say about that. So here's the pics :)




But NO more candies. And to think, this kid doesn't even drink juice, pop or milk, only water! Arggg.




So there ya have it folks!

Daily Horoscope for Virgo

The people in your life need you to keep it positive today — but that shouldn’t be a problem for you! Constructive criticism is one of your specialties, so let them know what’s working out well.

Chinese Zodiac - Tiger


Personality

Occupying the 3rd position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Tiger symbolizes such character traits as bravery, competitiveness and unpredictability. Tigers love to be challenged and will accept any challenge if it means protecting a loved one or protecting their honor. They don’t worry about the outcome because they know they’ll always land on their feet. Don’t let their calm appearance fool you though; Tigers will pounce when they feel it’s necessary.



Born to lead, Tigers can be stubborn if they realize they’re not in charge. They have a slight tendency to be selfish but overall, Tigers are extremely generous. They’re very intelligent and they’re always on alert. Tigers are very charming and are well-liked by others. They are not motivated by money or power.

Health

As they do their enemies, Tigers have a tendency to pounce on their work. Afterwards, they’re left feeling exhausted. Although they’ll soon bounce right back, over time this approach can cause problems with their health. Tigers need to develop a more balanced approach to life so they can utilize their energy more efficiently.

Career

Tigers have a continual need to be challenged which may explain why they jump from job to job. This isn’t necessarily a problem because they’re smart and able to quickly master new subjects. The best jobs for Tigers are those that will lead them towards positions of leadership. Some suitable careers for Tigers include: advertising agent, office manager, travel agent, actor, writer, artist, pilot, flight attendant, musician, comedian and chauffeur.

Relationships

Creative in their passion, Tigers will never bore their partners. They’re expressive, polite and trustworthy, but watch out. Tigers tend to dominate their relationships. This tendency is instinctive and when monitored closely, such behavior can be kept under control. Partners need to be equally active to keep up with the Tiger’s sense of adventure.

Metal Tiger – Years 1950 and 2010

Assertive, competitive and sharp, once Metal Tigers set their sights on their goals there’s no stopping them. They’ll always do what’s necessary to remain at the center of attention. Metal Tigers tend to jump to conclusions; a behavior they need to work at improving.

Busy Busy Busy

Last Thursday Andrew's big brother came over for his dad's famous taco dinner. I made him a carrot cake, he just turned 25. It was a good night. Thanks James for coming over. You should do it more often :)

Last week Andrew lost another bottom tooth. His forth one so far. He's also got a top one loose.

Saturday his eldest brother Alexander came for a wee visit as well, we were supposed to have his Grandparents (Don's side) and Aunt over as too but Andrew came down with a cold and i didn't want to risk getting his Nannie sick because she is still recovering from a recent knee replacement operation. Perhaps this coming week they can come.

Talking of sickness Andrew's starting to sound like a seal when he coughs so i think he may be coming down with croup, although if it is that, it's not really bringing him down in anyway, he's still pretty active. I will take that as a good thing ;)

Tomorrow he has an appointment with his dentist for a regular checkup, i don't know if they will want him coming in with a cough, so i will give them a call before hand.. Oh and since it's 12:35am right now as i type so i guess i should be saying today.

But the BIGGEST news is, I am going to be a great Aunt (2nd time) at 8am today :) My niece Tara will be having her 2nd baby via a scheduled C section to a baby girl. More on that later today and HOPEFULLY with pics. I can't wait, i'm so excited.

To be continued......................

I am SOOO lazy lately
