Winter in Minnesota this year has been quite mild, probably the mildest since I can remember with hardly any snow. Tuesday and Wednesday we were suppose to get a "snow storm" which turned out to be some snow that turned into instant slush because of the warm weather. Well last night both our vehicles ended up getting ticketed and towed for being plowed in and it was ridiculous considering there wasn't really anything but slush in the roads.Usually Prob is really good about knowing when the plows will be out and moves our vehicles since we don't have off street parking or a garage, but he assumed with such a small amount of snow, they wouldnt be plowing. My thoughts are with such a mild winter and this being the first real snow of the winter they seized the opportunity to plow, tow and catch up on their quota for the year, ugh! Anyway, its not like any of my thoughts matter because either way it still cost 550 dollars to get our cars out.
Another bill we managed to rack up yesterday, 100 dollars bailing our two running loose pooches outta the pound plus orders to renew their licenses and rabies vaccs. Did I mention the transmission on our van we bought a month ago went out and we had to shell out 3600 for that too? Or that the blower for the heat in the van went out too. What do you do though. Suck it up I guess and move on and be thankful we are healthy, it could be worse, much worse. Still sucks though.
Romeo's basketball team made it all the way to the championship and came in second place only losing by two. It was such an exciting final game and I really enjoyed watching him in his first season playing, learn so much about the game and really take pride in it, he has definitly found his sport. It has also given him and Prob something to do together that they both like and im glad. Gabriel has even started to love basketball and can shoot a basket, he is so cute, he calls it B-ball.
My sweet little Dominique has suffered with acid reflux since birth and a few months ago he started meds that have helped him feel so much better but they are not without side effects. They cause vomiting and even though they say its not a side effect I think they give him really bad insomnia. He doesn't nap much during the day and at night he still wakes up like a newborn to nurse. I have been debating doing a trial off the meds but I just think that the benefits of the meds outweigh the side effects but im just sooo tired so I don't know. Other than that he is such a good baby and fits in so well with us and loves his mommy so much!
I went for my 3 month checkup after I had gotten the chemotherapy drug to dissolve the rest of the placenta that was still in my uterus and ultrasound showed its still in there. Doctor said its all calcified and inactive so I guess its fine that its there which is good since she said it'll be there forever. She reminded me how very lucky I am to have made it through my last 3 pregnancies without losing my uterus or more importantly my life. Her words were, dont take your luck for granted because it will run out.
You know, Prob asked me why I have been so nonchalant about it each time and asked me, arent you scared? I guess I wasn't, because I knew it was in God's hands and I never doubted he would get us through it. I look at my children everyday and am so in love and would go through it all over again in a heartbeat for them.So when we are going through bad times I realize I need to just be thankful.
Thank you God for taking care of me, Thank you that I am here to buy a car just to have to fix it, to pick up runaway dogs, to watch our last dollar go to get our cars out of impound. Thank you Lord for the good days and the bad and for being here with me through it all. Amen
