When you get lemons.

Leave a reply

We pull into Greensboro, NC to get some Zaxby’s.  Ok food, wasn’t that impressed. 

But that’s not the point.  The point is Matt ’bout rear-ended the person in front of us after standing on the brakes.  Yup – they were gone.

So we sat in the parking lot after eating trying to find a solution.  Rent a couple of vans?  Find a repair shop?  The solution – add brake fluid.  Easy.

Instead of getting upset at the situation, we made lemonade.  Tools required:

  • Cooler Lid.
  • Tennis Shoe
  • Remote Control Truck
  • Free Time
  • A bunch of delirious road weary travelers waiting to take their energies out on a poor toy.

IVF Update

Leave a reply

Well after helicopter rides, ER trips, MRI’s, Cat Scans, IV’s, X-rays, blood cultures, spinal taps, and four nights in the hospital, we thought it best to hold up on the IVF.

As posted earlier, we were just in the beginning phases of the process.  We’re going to let the EOB’s settle from last week and see where everything stands.  Hopefully, after moving and returning back to normal we’ll start the process over again in about a month or two.

Stay tuned!

Eat the fish…

"Eat the fish, spit out the bones" is a good motto in learning from others.  You may not agree with everything, but you certainly can find something to take-away.

I was impressed by the willingness of this person to stomach the music to get to the teaching.  The style may not have been his personal taste, but he wasn’t going to let that skew his judgment so much so that he missed the meat.

Rock on mister orange-ear-plug-go-everywhere-in-a-suit-man.  Rock on!

Drive

Drive ’08 is over.  My hangover has subsided, and now I finally can process everything that was thrown at me.

First – incredible conference.  If you’re thinking about next year, do it!

Andy, of course, is the bomb.  I enjoyed the main sessions more than anything.  Todd Fields rocked it out of the park.  I took lots of notes:

Hospital roomates suck

Leave a reply

Firstly – I’m ticked.  I’m ticked that the 6 week old baby we were sharing a room with at the hospital was there because his freakn’ mom couldn’t lay off the drugs and now he is on a daily dose of morphine and going through withdrawals.  I’m also ticked that they finally showed up to see their baby after 2 weeks.  I am additionally ticked about these things:

  • Their inability to whisper.  Um yes, we are trying to sleep.  And no, curtains are not sound proof – morons.
  • Their inability to stop talking.  11PM – 4AM is not conversationally appropriate.  And no I will not stop my wife from choking the life out of you when you wake up our baby – I think it might actually be quite humorous.
  • Their inability to not bang stuff around.  Quiet is usually the concept when you have neighbors trying to sleep.
  • Their inability to NOT make-out.  I am afraid to say that they were making out while we were trying to sleep – and with their recovering baby in the room.  Idiots.
  • Their inability to have some common sense.  Why in God’s name would the hospital bend over backwards to get you a private room, when you haven’t been there in 2 weeks, and for basically making your baby overcome overwhelming odds just to survive.  Insert appropriate descriptive cuss word here.  No, the world doesn’t revolve around you.
  • Their inability to bring their own supplies.  No, I’d rather you didn’t use our soap and shampoo on your nasty butt.  But thanks for not asking anyway.  And I don’t even want to know why the shower ran for an hour, but your girl came out dry.  Hmmmm.

I’ve had comments that this sounded angry.  It was.  I was appalled by what I saw.  Hope you would be too.  But I’ve edited it to be more palatable.  And no we wouldn’t actually kill anybody.  I guess sarcasm doesn’t translate in typing.

Cruisn’ at the Hospital

Again, thank you all for your prayers for us and Wyatt.  Thought I would show you some cute pictures of him cruising around the hospital.  I have some pics of him all laid up but I’m going to respect his privacy.  I wouldn’t want to have a picture of me half-naked with tubes hanging out of me on the web.  Man his cute.
