Boys Will Be Boys??

More like boys will be monkeys, if you ask me!

Gone are the days when they sat docilely on the edge of the tub watching the water flow.  This is what I caught my 8 year old twins doing yesterday…I’m sitting in the family room and I hear all this noise coming from the boys bathroom. They are yelling WOOHOOOOOOO! and laughing up a storm and the curtain hooks are rattling something fierce. I think to myself, “This can’t be good”. Boy was I right! I walk into the bathroom to find Cade standing on the soap ledge (which is halfway up the shower wall) poised to jump! They were taking turns jumping from the ledge, swinging from the shower curtain rod and landing in the bottom of the tub. The curtain was askew, there was water everywhere and they look up and say, “Oh, hi Mom!”, like nothing is out of the ordinary! Sadly for me, this is true. Not a bit out of the ordinary. Just another episode in the days of my life! Those boys are going to be the death of me!

Lucky for them, I also think they are adorable!

Total Irritation

This was my reaction when, recently, I called my doctor to make an appointment for a check-up. I was going in for my regular hormone check and to have him take a look at my dislocated ribs. I was told that he could see me the second week of March (this was the first week of January). My mouth literally dropped open. I’m sure I looked just like this picture…with a little less hair, of course!

This was my reaction when I was told that the doctor could check my hormones this appointment but I would have to make a separate appointment for my ribs. “Are you kidding me?!” was my internal reaction…Unfortunately for the poor receptionist, it was also my external reaction….expressed loudly….right in her ear!  I felt bad for her, but come on! If I were to go in with a dog bite and rabies are they going to dress the wound and leave the rabies for later? I can’t have more than one medical ailment treated at a time? What is wrong with these people!

I have since decided that my doctor has spread himself too thin and I need to find a new one. Most irritating after seeing the same doctor for 11 years, but what can you do?

Totally Irritated signing out. I promise to be in a better mood for my next post :)
