The Good Byes of week 7

Another 1.6 pounds gone! That makes it almost 22 pounds in 7 weeks! I can't believe I have lost that much that fast. When I did weight watchers before I got preggo with Jacob, it took me about 7 months to lose 35 pounds. I am way ahead of that schedule thanks to the exercising I have been doing! Today is day 19 of 30ds. I have missed 1 day though so it's going to be my 31ds! :o) This week I am going to start yoga as well with Christina (Kyle's friend Nathan's mom) That is going to be on Thursdays and Fridays. One of my other friends Naomi might start as well.

Speaking of Naomi, the boys and I met her and her kids at the park the other day and then we went to her house to let them all play the next day. The boys were having so much fun they didn't want to leave. Jacob actually told me that he wanted to live with Miss Naomi instead of leaving with me! LOL

I found a yummy looking recipe for stuffed colored baby bell peppers. Looks so good I am going to make them in a little bit. Though, I don't know what to make with them. I guess I can do them as part of dinner and have our meat and those...and something else. Maybe salad or something. :-/ I hate having to figure out whats for dinner all the time! LOL

I started Jacob on preschool stuff this last week. He started learning how to write the letter A. He is actually doing pretty good at it too! This week we will be starting the letter B :o) I am so happy that I have two boys the learn so quickly. I always thought Kyle was so good with his learning and such but Jacob is even more so! I think it helps a lot that he has Kyle to look up to and learn from. I am so proud of my boys. Kyle has been happy about starting his new school. His favorite thing about it is the swings still. LOL Every day when we walk home from the bus stop, I ask him how he day at school was. He always tells me first about his lunch and what he had. 

Jacob had an appt today to get his iron checked. Our appt was at 11. At 11:15, I asked how much longer before the nurse called us back. The lady said they only had one nurse today and she was with someone. "Isn't an appt at 11 with the nurse actually an appt at 11 with the nurse?" I asked. Well...yeah...let me call her again, I have already called her twice....and the side of the convo I heard went ..."Have you even called back your 10:30 appt yet? Well, he is here and so is your 11:00 appt and they are complaining about having to keep waiting so long...." Then a few mins later a lady came out and was walking around behind the counter with the check in ladies...then like 5 mins later she called back her 10:30 appt. Mind you, it's already about 11:20...so the poor guy's been there for just about an hour waiting and no, he hadn't complained only I had lol. Then the other check in lady calls me up there and tells me the nurse is running late "Yes, I know that since it's 20 mins after my appt time already. How much longer is she supposed to be late?" her reply "Umm..well like 25 mins" me: "This is crazy. You guys expect me to wait an hour here with a 3 year old? It's bad enough for me to have to wait here but making a 3 year old wait is even worse. Just have someone else poke his finger and write down the darn numbers...I could even do that!" them: "It has to be the nurse only." me: "Is there a number I could call to complain about the service you guys are giving then?" they gave me the number and I called...left a message because who would expect the lady to actually be in her office answering the phone on a work day?! That was at 11:30a...and I still haven't heard from her here at 2:30p. Good thing was that the guy before me didn't take long so we didn't have to end up waiting the whole 25 mins. Only about 5-10. Then when we got in there, Jacobs hands were cold so when she poked him, it wouldn't bleed enough to get a good drop to test so she tried giving him a heat pack thing for his other hand and then poked that one...same thing not enough blood. So, she had to go ask someone else what to do...When they got there I suggested they use the little straw thing that sucks the blood up then they can drop the drip where they need it "I don't know how to use those...how do you get the blood out?" LOL ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! The other nurse said yep go get one of those and I will show you. The second lady is one that I like from there and usually helps us. She poked Jacobs finger for the 3rd time and got all the blood she needed and we were off...close to 30 minutes later making us get out of there a lil after noon. An hour for an appt that should have taken 5 minutes! At least we got it done and don't have to do it for another year. :o)

On a sadder note, my Aunt Linda's husband passed away this past week. I myself didn't know him all that much but I do know that he will be missed by so many people. I know it wasn't something out of the blue and everyone knew it was coming but even with that knowledge, it is hard to lose someone you love. He was the guy to be the most father like to my cousins and they came to love him as a father and their children as their grandpa. It is comforting to know that he is no longer in pain though which he has been in for the past couple years. Rest in Peace Jimmy!
