Is It Naptime Yet

Jon had a wellness check yesterday. It revealed that his cholesterol is borderline to being bad. So  he needs to get it down in the good area. (His family has a history of heart disease, so we’re taking this kinda seriously.) With that they gave him a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat. This now just puts more pressure on me to do a weekly menu, so I’m giving him the foods he needs, and it puts more strain on the food budget. We were soo not following the food budget before and I was trying to follow it this month but we’ve gone over  because of a Costco trip. (How do you factor in a years worth of Britta water filters?) Anyways. We’re needing to redo the food budget so we can get more of the fresh foods he needs and the higher costing butter or egg substitutes. Ah, more money to find in the budget to spend. Oh how everything costs so much.

So when I use to see people with a new car/ used car and the date of purchase/ expiration paper on the back of a car and the date was soon approaching, if not just a few days away, I always thought why don’t they just go to the DMV and get their plates. As a recent car buyer I realize it’s because you’re poor after you purchase a car and you want to wait until the last possible day to get the plates and register the car, so you have your hard earned money that much longer

So yesterday at lunch time I’m over a the computer and Eden, instead of eating her bread, was putting it up her nose. I got it out once, she did it twice and consequently went to time out twice and after the second time out I decided to just make lunch over. She wasn’t too happy about it.
UGH. I told her it would hurt if she got bread in her nose and she said “no not hurt.”
in my mind I thought “Yeah you think it doesn’t hurt but you will when I have to take you to the ER and have them use prongs to get the rest of the bread out of your nose.”

Andrea as a child once put foam from a couch or couch cushion up her nose. My mom didn’t know about it until Andrea started smelling funny. While looking her over she saw something up her nose. My mom took her to the ER and low and behold the foam had turned green and was getting funky after stopping up her nasal cavity for who knows how long.
