dirty teeth

Some weeks you wish you never got out of bed! Today the boy’s went to the orthodontist to check on their braces. I guess they haven’t been doing a good job brushing their teeth. I do make them brush their teeth, but I’m not actually doing it for them. So the arrogant Dr says he will know longer work with the boys. He does this while taking photos of their teeth to give the insurance company. This is going to cost us some real money! The Dr yelled enough at me and the boys, I didn’t need to add to the humiliation. Thomas was crying, it was really awful! We will try to find another Dr that can continue the treatment. We will over see the brushing better, but just how I don’t know. I really don’t like this Dr who has some how gotten it all wrong. I pay him and he works for me. I guess he thinks I should be grateful to be his client…if he had not dropped my boys, I would have been happy to fire him. But seriously, I have to find a new orthodontist, and I hope the insurance company will keep paying for the boys teeth. Are there people in this society that actually help parents raise children, or do they all treat you like you are dirt because your pre teen boys are going through an awkward time? Please pray for me, I’m having a hard week!


UP DATE: Juergen called the insurance company. They said we should just go to another Dr. They will keep paying. Juergen over saw the teeth brushing tonight. We are not being hard on the boy's. They have enough real problems. I will not shoot them down over not brushing their teeth enough. Man oh man! Philip is being bullied in school. I will not kick him for not bushing good enough! We will just work on it...and find another Dr.

Praying for you!! You would think--if this dentist was a true professional--he would give you recommendations on how to do a better job brushing & explain it to the boys as well as explaining how important it is. My goodness, they are boys! I am constantly reminding all my kids to brush their teeth! This is not something that is high on the list of priorities for an adolescent--you would think the dr. would know that and know how to get them motivated!

Thanks Jill! I guess there are enough perfect kids around, he doesn't need to bother with my boys! I don't meet enough people willing to help the boys. It’s just easier to write them off. They are irresponsible...but they are 12 year old boys. They will grow up.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
