So Excited! This is one of those things that is floating around Facebook. I've noticed a few of my friends posting music videos with random numbers above them. Since I'm a music snob, if I didn't care for the band I kept right on going. Well, curiosity got the best of me and I discovered I'm super crazy into this! Each day is a new song challenge and I'm really excited to see just how far back into the "archives" I can remember. Let's not forget I've been to quite a few Dead shows in my day. Here is a list of the 30 day challenge categories! Looks fun!

One Week
I finally took Big Boy to the pediatric ENT on Monday so we could get to the root of the never ending cycle of ear infections and strep throat. Well. the appointment was Monday and the surgery to have his tonsils and adenoids removed is a week from today. Holy fast Batman! Never once did it cross my mind when we walked in there Monday morning, would we leave with a surgery date being nine days away.
It's been an interesting few weeks to say the least. In addition to the ENT, Big Boy has started seeing a new Pediatrician. I just couldn't handle his old Pediatric Group anymore. The practice was too big and I was tired of seeing a nurse practitioner EVERY SINGLE TIME we went there. They told me I could see an ENT whenever I wanted and the first time I call for the referral, they gave me a hard time. SEE YA! We switched to a new practitioner who has a solo practice which translates to a doctor who will know Big Boy and not try to pass him off on everyone else in the practice. She is fantastic and we have seen more progress with her in two weeks then the entire amount of time we were with the old practice.
Unfortunately, we have to cancel Big Boys appointment at the Specialized Hospital on the 8th because his surgery is the day before. This is a real bummer since it takes so long to get an appointment there but like I mentioned earlier, I think the ENT would have removed his tonsils that day if he could have, ya know? It seems like we are forever at doctor appointments lately but at least we'll get them out of the way before the summer comes.
Lastly, Big Boy is about to age out of the Pre-school Autistic program and at the recommendation of his teacher, we will be MAINSTREAMING him next year! Yup yup yup, you read that correctly, Big Boy will be mainstreamed for part of kindergarten and will spend the other part of the day receiving speech and occupational therapy. He's doing so well and barely qualifies for services at this point but there is no way I will give them up. The real indicator will be how he fairs in kindy because if I give up his rights to services and he can't handle a mainstream kindy, I'll never get him back in the program and then I just don't know what will happen.
So.....this is what's going on at the beach these days. Everything revolves around Big Boy ( as usual) and once we get through the surgery next week we will be able to focus on his kindy placement and what type of curriculum we can build specifically for him. I think this blog entry may be the longest I've sat down and relaxed in the last week.

So Very Cool!
I know this site has been around for quite some time but I'm only checking it out now so please excuse me for being a bit behind. Anyway, I kept hearing people talk about the website Skype and how great it was to talk long distance (for free!) using your webcam. I figured it had to be such a pain in the butt that it wouldn't be worth it but.....I was so very wrong.
I followed all the steps and installed Skype on my laptop and was impressed at how easy it was. A friend of mine who also uses Skype called me via the webcam so we could try it out and it worked like a charm! I just can't get over how cool and easy it is to use! I know it must sound like they have me on their payroll promoting the site but I'm truly impressed with it. With that being said, I'm worried about running it with Vista. I've learned even the simplest of programs can either freeze up or crash with Vista so fingers crossed this doesn't happen because I would be super bummed.
Now on to my plan! I was thinking since my in-laws live in Florida and only see Big Boy but a few times a year, we could get them a webcam for Christmas and set up special times once or twice a week for them to "see" and talk to him. I think it's a great idea but then again, I'm not sure if my in-laws will even be able to set up the account or the webcam. I also think it will be fun For BB to be able to see his Nanny and Grandpa(my parents) through the computer. Even though he sees them just about everyday, I think it would be a fun addition to his bedtime routine for him to say goodnight to them too. I know they have a webcam, they just need to set it up and I'll be working on that tomorrow.
I'm wondering if the in-laws would think this is a good gift? I think they will, right? Anyway, this is my new project and let's all hope it all falls into place and goes smoothly...

Should Be Interesting....
Tomorrow is Big Boys 4 year well check up with the pediatrician. I used to get extremely over whelmed at the thought of these appointments but I'm actually looking forward to getting this one out of the way. I have a ton of questions to ask her regarding BB's charming behavior. I really want to get her take on the H1N1 vax and if she thinks he should get it and if so...when? BB also need to get his four year boosters which is such a bummer for him. lastly, I'm curious whether or not we need to go back to the Specialized Hospital?
In all seriousness, we do have to discuss what the Pediatrician thinks we should do about the missing coin. Obviously, we are hoping we missed it and it's long gone but I'm thinking that isn't the case. From everything I have read, the rule of thumb is after three weeks surgical intervention is required to removed the coin. This is what his pediatrician has been saying but I honestly think she thought the coin would have been long gone too. The thought of BB needing an endoscopy scares the daylights out of me but I don't think there are any other options? I'm also worried the coin could be stuck in his intestines and I'm not even sure what type of procedure that entails.
Tomorrow is shaping up to be a pretty busy day and as usual, I just don't want to go to bed. My mind is racing a mile a minute with questions, I'm worried about handling BB alone tomorrow at both the doctors office and the hospital. Let's not forget all the other things I've got to squeeze in. So I guess its time to catch some sleep. Morning comes super fast and BB has built in radar. He always know what days to wake before 6am.
Good times.

Blue
This is going to be short because my eyes are closing as I type this. I think it's pretty sad that I already have the Sunday night blues and it's still Saturday. It's such a sad vicious cycle. You work all week holding out for Friday afternoon and before I can even unwind it's time to go back. I need to figure something out in life and fast because I'm starting to get depressed and I don't like how this is making me feel.

Eh, Not So Sure?
I've been messing around with the layout a bit and I'm not sure if I like it. I really liked the way it looked before but I forgot what settings I used and can't get it back....damn!
What do you think.....Any suggestions?
