I've been a bit absent from blogging lately - quite honestly it's because every time I sit down to blog, I really don't have anything nice to say. And I don't want you all to think I'm this disgruntled, miserable person - because I'm not. I am simply following the good ole rule of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".
Despite having a ridiculously busy October, I'm happy to say it's over. The fall festivals, and school carnivals and football games and baby showers. All over. So. Happy. And while I LOVE being involved with the community and school and throwing my besties and sister fun parties - I'm ready for a break.
In my spare time {LOL - what spare time???} I've been arguing with our insurance company and pediatrician about proper wording on a prescription for Sam's PT and OT. Apparently having a physical delay isn't specific enough. I feel like banging my head against a wall would get better results at this point. I mean - how can anyone, after evaluating Sam - not think he needs a little help? The kid can't hop on one foot. So I've got these appointments with specialists who have 9 month waiting lists to get some kind of diagnosis so we don't have to private pay for therapy any longer....in 9 months. I'm not a doctor or anything close to it, but what's it to our pedi to write a prescription for PT and OT? It's not like I'm asking for drugs. So frustrating. I'm SO thankful Nick and I are fortunate enough we are able to pay out of pocket twice a week for therapy. Does it suck? Hell yeah it does! It kills me that our incredibly awesome health insurance doesn't cover PT or OT unless it's "restorative". It's BS. Really - I can think of some really cute shoes I could buy with that money every week. :)
And that, my friends concludes this week's installment of "things that piss me off"...
On to better things... the day before my birthday I got this really large, official-looking envelope hand delivered. I had to sign for it and everything. After opening it, I realized I was reading the results of my BRAC 1 & 2 tests. Which were NEGATIVE! No genetic mutations found. Best birthday present ever. {even better than the Gucci bag Nick and the kids surprised me with - I know - I'm shocked too}
I'm really looking forward to slowing down. I really want to spend time with Victoria before her baby comes. Hang out with Kelly before she moves to Florida. I feel like I've been a very absent friend, sister, wife and mom. November comes quickly and there will be LOTS of babies being born. Can't wait to hold them all.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the kids at the moment. But my next post will be of the adorable photo shoot my friend, Kristy, shot.
