Too much to blog about

UGH is all I have to say. Travis is still complaining of neck pain, hoping that the antibiotics do the trick. Too long to explain in the blog but 5 hours at Children's on Friday was a disaster. Trey is still complaining of wrist pain, trying to get him into orthopedic doctor. And of course, we have our appointment with the rheumatologist on Monday in Houston. Robert is sick with a cold and we are leaving to go skiing but other than that things are normal at the Shoemake house. I on the other hand decorated for Christmas yesterday, more pictures to come. Something fun to blog about....

Travis

So it was NOT a crick in his neck afterall. Of course, it couldn't be that simple. He has infected lymph nodes. We have 48 hours for some major improvments or else....... What next? UGH

Doctor Doctor and More Doctor Visits

Today Travis has an appointment for a sore neck that won't go away. Trey has an appointment on Monday in Houston for his arthritis and I cannot wait. We need some more answers and hopefully some different medications for pain. His wrist is still bothering him so I guess we will have to make a DR appointment for that as well. Ortho appointment in the morning and Travis got a card in the mail saying it was time to schedule his check up with immunologist. UGH.... anyone want to take my kids to the dr??????

Who Wouldn't love THIS job?

I have to say that since I was in first grade all I ever wanted to do was be a teacher. I remember loving school, playing school, of course I was always the teacher, but as far as I can remember I knew that this was what I wanted to be when I grew up. To me teaching is so rewarding and the best part is making a difference in the live of a child. Some more difficult than others but in the end knowing that I made an impact means the world to me. Who wouldn't love these precious little ones...... Love them...

Not so favorite things

I am not one to review items but this has been bugging me for a month so I thought I would share so NO one has to experience the same gross toothpaste that I have had for the past month. Ok my friends that know me well will know that the only reason I bought this toothpaste in the first plasce was because I do not like toothpaste on the counter. I know I am OCD and am willing to admit I bought it strictly for the design. Yes, brother richard (designer) style and design do matter. However, when you use this toothpaste it is AWFUL. The first time I used this toothpaste I put the normal amount of toothpaste only to find that it FOAMED up in my mouth causing much more than was needed. IT is GROSS. It makes you feel like you are foaming at the mouth, not that I know what that feels like but now I feel like I do after using this toothpaste. So save yourself from this awful fate and DO NOT buy this toothpaste. I am happy to report no toothpaste on the counter.

A few of my favorite things

A warm robe on a cool morning ahhhh and a new warm bath mat in my bathroom on the cold tile floor. A few of my favorite things.

Really feeling great about myself

I knew I needed a haircut scheduled for next Friday, however, Bailey let me know right away today that my hair did not look like MRS. SHOEMAKE. When I asked her who I looked like she said I don't know but you need to brush your hair some more. Gotta love kindergarten, they will tell you like it is... Just in case I wondered if I needed a haircut Bailey let me know that it is TIME...
