January 23, 2013
It snowed here last week, which is a big deal, because it doesn't snow here. School was cancelled for Friday, and since it was Martin Luther King Day the next Monday, the kids had a very long weekend.
It also froze the satellite, which interrupted the signal, which made it hard for my kids to play computer games. Not that I minded, I've severely limited their computer usage these days, because I am a horrible person that thinks kids should go outside, or read a book, or play a board game, or even with each other. It's perfectly barbaric.
I still haven't gotten a refill on my MS meds, and I for the life of me DO NOT UNDERSTAND what the problem is. My neurologist has pre-authorized the script through January of 2014. And the new prescription company is child company of the original pharmacy, so it should be an easy transfer. But it's not. Because the cow jumped over the moon or some such nonsense. AND THEN! THEN! the lady on the phone suggested that I get some samples from the doctor, at which point I began laughing hysterically. They don't give samples of this, are you kidding me? They wouldn't even fill my original prescription until a FIELD NURSE came to my house and TRAINED ME on the proper way to administer my injections. And she calls me... regularly. I HAVE MY OWN NURSE, so no, I don't think I can just swing by and pick up some samples. Not to mention that I have recently moved so it's quite a long drive to pick up these samples, and JUST REFILL MY MEDS ALREADY.
It's so frustrating.
AND my arms and hands have started going numb again, which is why it's sort of an emergency that I have my shots. Not that hands or arms are important. *scoffs*
Also, we bought furniture for our house. And I'm having a couch and a love seat made in the best fabric ever! The couch will be in a gorgeous paisley of grays, blacks, and a hint of brown. The love seat is a stripe, and we got rugs and another couch, and end tables, and YOU GUYS! It's like we're real grown-ups! (Never mind that it's taken over 30 years....)
And here's a totally random thought for you, mostly because I have the TV in the background, and dumb commercials keep popping up. There's a chocolate milk commercial where the kid comes home from school and is all, "Is there anything good in there?" and the mom is all, "Hmmm... how about this delicious milk?" and THEN it goes to a shot of the kid drinking a full glss of milk, and the gallon of milk is on the table next to him, UNOPENED.
GUYS: I can't tell you how much it annoys me. Where did the milk in his glass come from? Not from the container sitting next to him, it's still sealed. I know this is dumb, but it bugs me. Is he even drinking that milk? I DON'T THINK SO.
In other news, every day, I like the house we're in more and more. I would even consider buying it when our lease is up, provided the price isn't scandalous. (You never know these days.)
I'm also about to go to the grocery store, which means that I get to take myself out to lunch. Yeah, I treat myself. I DESERVE IT PEOPLE.

Fighting
I keep forgetting to blog because my computer is located in a room I pretty much never go in. That whole, out of sight, out of mind thing.
Meanwhile, it's been a week since I was here last, and what a week it has been.
(Actually, it's pretty much been the same as every other week of my life, but I like to pretend it's exciting.)
Mostly I've been fighting via phone with my new mail-order pharmacy. Do you have a mail-order pharmacy? I think they're probably called something more professional than that, but I can't remember at this point in time. At any rate, DadGuy's new job = new insurance. The coverage is GREAT. For REALS. But the pharmacy that I used to order my MS drugs from doesn't have a contract with the new insurance, so I have to go through the contracted pharmacy and BLAH BLAH BLAH, I'M OUT OF MY DRUGS.
Not that I don't mind skipping the injections of chinese hamster ovaries into my person three times a week, it's just that those magic hamster ovaries make me not have MS relapses. Sure, my hair falls out like crazy, and I'm super fat, BUT I CAN FEEL ALL OF MY TOES ALL OF THE TIME and I can WALK. I mean, I don't know how YOUR body works, but walking was really iffy for me for awhile. (Have you ever "tried on" the canes at the pharmacy? Because, you know, I have. I even have a walker picked out for in the future... life is so glamorous.)
In non-medical news, I have started making breakfast again. Don't get my wrong, cereal is awesome. But it makes me feel good to know that my kids have a hot breakfast in their tummy before school.
Meanwhile, school is going really super good for the three younger kids, and so-so for Thaddeus. I kinda decided that if he doesn't start coming home happy in the next little while, then I will pull him out and home school for a while. I'd rather keep him home for a year or two NOW, then have him learn to hate school and people for the rest of forever, you know?
And other than that, we don't have a lot going on.

Sorting it all out
I've been on the phone all morning, cancelling doctors appointments, transferring prescriptions, and doing all the busy work that comes with moving to a new town. The most annoying thing is trying to get my kids lunch money back from the school. I signed a paper that said they would close out the account the last day my kids were in school and send them home with a check.... except that they didn't. And now, since my kids don't go there anymore, the school can't give me a check, I have to go through the county. So that is taking a really long time, and I'm playing phone tag with them... I just want my lunch money back.
Meanwhile, the kids are loving their new school. The bus picks up right in front of our house, and school starts at a better time, and all in all, this is going to be fantastic for them.
Plus, we now have a yard, so people are more prone to going outside. And since we don't live near anything, we're saving money, because we don't go anywhere, except for the grocery store, and the pharmacy. But all those little purchases here and there that we used to make, those have died a sudden death.
In house related news: the laundry room is upstairs by the bedrooms, so I don't have to take laundry up and down stairs, and it is MAGIC people. MAGIC.

Free January 2013 Computer Desktop Calendar
So the desktop is a week late. This is because I moved out to the boonies, and had to get internet satellite, and REAL life internet satellite for consumers is nothing like the military grade internet satellite that I see in the movies. I mean, GOSH, people. I just want to do some blogging.
At any rate, all technical difficulties on MY end have been cleared up, so I am finally able to give you this month's free computer desktop.
(regular sized monitor) (Wide screen monitor)
This months desktop was made using My Memories Suite, our fave digital scrapping software, and a kit from Michelle Underwood! My Memories software is SUPER user friendly, and you don't have to be a computer wizard to create amazing projects! To read more about why it's our favorite, and to get a $10 coupon off your software purchase, visit this link, or head to their site now and enter code STMMMS32407 at checkout.

things of Pinterest: snowflakes
It's winter. That's pretty much all that's going on now that the holidays are over. And so, blech, winter. But snow can be fun, I guess if you try really hard. Personally, I think snow is evil, but that's no reason not to do some snow-y crafts - ideas thanks to the awesome that is Pinterest.

Mending
It's 10:30 and I have two things that I SHOULD be working on, but I'm not. because I just don't really feel like it. Besides, everyone in my house is asleep, and I don't want to waste this magical time by being productive, because I only like to work when other people are working. It doesn't even matter what kind of work it is, I just don't like to be the only one doing it, you know?
In other news, I was perusing the different online classes I could take this next semester. A couple of the classes I want to take are offered in short sessions, so I could take four classes, but I wouldn't take them at the same time. That sounds magic, right?
Taylor's ear tube has fallen out of place, but not out of her ear. It's actually embedded in a big, bloody, pussy mess on the side of her ear canal, and I could totally reach in with tweezers and take it out.... but she won't let me. Instead, she tells me her ear hurts, and that there is a rock in it, and I'm getting close to my breaking point, where I just pin her down, and pull it out, and then let her cry for a minute until she realizes that her ear isn't bothering her anymore. (Of course, parents that don't have kids with horrible ear problems won't side with me at all, and parents that DO have children with horrible ear problems are thinking, why haven't you done that already?)
Also: everyone in my house is on the mend, but we have lingering coughs. Speaking of coughs, why are cough drops so gross? Seriously. They are disgusting, and you would think that by now, we would have invented better tasting cough drops. Instead, I just buy hard candy.
And that's about that.
