My new blogging friend Jordan sent me a fun package today. She sent a very cute and nice card, a tolerable toddler tunes mix cd, and a cute little box with a bracelet in it. Whitney immediately said, "can I have the fluff thing?" meaning the white fibers the bracelet was packed in. Thanks Jordan for these delightful items, that was really nice of you.I took Whitney to what I thought would be her last eye appointment this morning. She's so comfortable at the eye doctors now that she sits cross-legged in the chair and actually spoke audibly to the eye doctor. She doesn't even know this guy, he's new, but she acted like a professional patient and enjoyed her check-up. Everything is still looking good, but he said she should come back to see the wanker (my word) eye doctor in 6 weeks. By the way, remember how the wanker doctor chewed me and Randy out for the size of Whitney's tonsils? Well I had the pediatrician check them last Friday and he said they were large, but not dangerously so. He said to check her breathing when she's sleeping to rule out sleep apnea, but that she looked good. Ha.
We also had to go upstairs in the building to our pediatrician's office because Whitney needed to leave a urine sample since she wasn't able to produce anything at her appointment last Friday. They had sent us home with a special cup for this purpose and I was ready first thing this morning but she couldn't go! Can you imagine not having to pee first thing in the morning? I can't. Anyway, she didn't have to go at all until we'd actually just walked out of the pediatrician's office and were heading towards the elevator. So we ran to the bathroom, made Landon turn around (Whitney has bouts of modesty) and I held the cup underneath her. Now I don't want to be too graphic here, but any woman can tell you we don't have a whole lot of directional control when peeing. I was trying to maneuver the cup to catch the pee but she was done in like 5 seconds! Are you kidding me?! I had more pee on my hand than in the cup, but managed to get like an ounce in there. Fortunately the nurse said that was plenty and was able to do the tests on it and said all was well. Good grief.
We ended up running some errands after our doctor visits and then went to Michelle's house for a creative Monday. I think I may be doing a little overkill on the cards, but that's all I feel like making lately. We had originally planned on taking the kids to Seven Peaks today, but they've already changed their hours to 4-8pm so we may not be going again. I don't even really like going there, but I still feel compelled to get one more visit out of our passes this year.
In other news, I've got multiple chunks missing from the inside of my mouth. How does this happen? It's like I'm eating something and the next thing I know there's a sore spot or a bulge on the inside of my cheek that I can't account for. It's driving me crazy.
**Any good mail come your way today?
How do you feel about urine samples?
Mouth chunkies? Do tell.**

Wanker huh? I just love that word and I love that you used it.
Mouth chunkies--get them when I eat too much junk food.
Urin samples--can count on plenty of urin on the hand--disgusting.
Good mail--got a great package from my friend Alli on Saturday, will post it.
Glad Whitney is going to be okay. And from one big tonsil gal to another--the only bad part about it is sleeping with your mouth open. The good part about is is that I used it as an excuse to go home from school. "Sore throat"
i have had to do the catch the urine thing for bella and tess. I find it very frightening...you're right there's not control. too funny.
I think its great you are being so creative. who cares what you're doing as long as your enjoying yourself.
Mouth chunkies!! Never heard of them described that way, but yes, I get them when I eat too many sweet, too. I haven't entered the world of Urine samples (besides my own at the ob/gyn) and am now dreading it. I ordered the poster of the Articles of Faith and it came today. It is so nice and simply done, just black and white. I now need a frame. Glad you got the "thank you" parcel!
James got good mail today and it made me happy just to see the huge smile on his face!
I am open next Wednesay for a late afternoon 7 Peaks trip... I know what you mean about wanting to use the passes one more time. I don't think ending in mid August is really a whole season pass. Kind of dumb and I think the half day should start at noon, or at least 2pm.
The pee thing is hilarious to me because you are suppose to catch the pee mid-stream. You know...go, stop, place cup, catch a little, stop, then finish. I just get it everywhere, overfill the cup and have to spend 5 min. cleaning everything up.
I hate reading your blog at work, I can't see any of the pictures. Rats! Anyway...
I too have a chewed up mouth and can't figure out why, but once i've bitten it I seem to keep biting it, a viciuos cycle.
Good mail...I got a lovely notebook from Amy H. I love it. And a card from a girl I met on the airplane. We clicked and she got way too much info but it was such a comfortable conversation and I wrote her a quick note and she responded, yeah.
Urine samples...why does most of it end up on our hands? Boys are sooo lucky but yet they can still miss the toilet, explain that.
remember the word you made up "me-lie" the term for what your mouth feels like after you eat capt. crunch cereal.
i got the same cd from jordan today too! so nice these people i have never met.
i have a funny urine sample story i will have to write about sometime. but i am up at 5:30 am trying to get back to school stuff done for ak. and guess who woke up and follwed me downstairs, CBC. now she is up trying to sit on my lap and i am saying, hey this is my time.
ok enough of my posting on your comoments 'eh.
I am a urine sample pro--having just produced more than I care to remember for my OB. I can even do it without overfilling the cup or getting it on my hands! I'm so proud of this accomplishment, I assure you. It's funny, but I was always afraid that I wouldn't be able to pee at the OB's office when I was pregnant. Who ever heard of a pregannt woman who couldn't pee on demand?
No good mail yesterday but I did get a fun little package from Amy M. on Thurs. It's been awhile since I sent any...
I too love it when you say wanker -- you're the only person I know that uses that word.
I have tried to get urine samples from Eva multiple times (via a bag in her diaper!) with little to no success. It's hard enough to do it to yourself, let alone someone else!
Jill,
Dave is convinced he is going to get mouth cancer because there is one spot he bites off over and over again, I don't get it...
Urine samples-not my favorite.
Good-mail-I've gotten two and I need to post about them, I have 4 to send out today!
The the urine sample is too funny. I have had to get one from Mya and it was the biggest pain ever. I thought it would get easier! Doctors always told me I had large tonsils and I finally got them out when I was 18- so painful and a long recovery for me.
Mouth chunkies eh? I guess I don't get those because that sounds just awful and irritating and not like something I have experienced. Yuck.
I am working on a couple mail things that I hope to finish this week or the beginning of next week depending on how the potty training goes. I love good mail.
Too funny! I had to catch Noelle's urine once when she was barely two!! She had only been potty trained about a month and had a really high fever for way too long...because she was only two the doctor said he would cath her (thus scarring her for life as she could already remember all of the details of her life). When I told him she was potty trained he said I could try....quite the experience and I wonder if having me down there with a cup encouraging her to pee was just as scarring! The funny part was that I had just had Chelsey and Noelle had gone to every OB appt. with me so she was very familiar with the process and I honestly think that is the only reason she was fine with it!
As for mouth sores...I get them ALL THE TIME!!! From eating too much chocolate and nuts. Since my most favorite candy is peanut butter M&Ms you can see my problem! Rinsing with baking soda REALLY helps them heal faster (even though it tastes a little yucky)!
I love that it seems that she got a little stage fright for the urine sample. What an awesome story.
You amaze me with all you get done in a day. And I love your cards so keep making them.
I got an awesome package last week, from the Queen of Mail. Thank you so much for my tums (I have so needed those) and the great book. I can't wait to start reading it, I have tried, but it seems that reading is not agreeing with me right now. I can't wait to stop the medicine that causes this wonderful dizziness.
I love your word, but isn't that an australian word? I have heard it before from an aussie.
I absolutely hate giving urine samples. Obviously being pregnant, I have to do them every 2 weeks. Disgusting! And...I'm also gun shy. I can't imagine having to help somebody else give a sample. I hope that they had a lot of hand sanitizer in there.
Umm pee samples, I have not had to do them for my kiddies yet, but I am a pro myself. two kids 15 months apart, I have had plenty of recent practice.
I have never had mouth chunkies but I love the word nonetheless. Sorry they sound really miserable.
No good mail of late, well we did get a wedding invitation for one of my husbands best friends. I love looking at other peoples invitations.
I totally get those mouth chunkies and for no apparent reason. Unlike some of your friends I can't narrow it down to any particular food. Weird stuff!!
I am waiting for some good mail...It's actually a birthday present I ordered for a friend of mine and I'm REALLY excited to give it to her. If any week was the week for me to receive good mail it's this one because my birthday is coming up. Unfortunately my mom sent all of my presents with my sister when she moved out here so I won't be getting any from her. Oh well!! I'm just proud of myself for not opening the box before now...I've exhibited amazing self-control! :)
I too was graced by the generosity of the Queen of Mail! In fact, yesterday was a fabulous mail day for me: your darling surprise package, a check for work done (money in the mail is ALWAYS good)and a copy of a really good photograph that Michelle's dad had taken of Susan and I last March.
You just amaze me! The best part of your package (and that really is hard to pin down) is--well, two things: your sweet little note and the awesome "good mail" sticker on the front of the envelope (which I peeled off and stuck on the back of the cute little notepad.) Thank you, thoughtful friend!
Forgot to mention: I went through a period of getting a lot of mouth sores and my doctor recommended taking the enzyme L-Lysine. You can find it anyway vitamins are sold. It worked pretty well for me.
What a funny post. WE will be doing the sample tomorrow for Lindsey, but they want a first pee of the morning, so weird! Anyway, she is actually excited about peeing in a cup, she thinks it is fun! Whatever!
As for mouth chunkies I get those when I eat junk food too. Hopefully yours go away soon.
As for good mail the only person getting good mail these days is the birthday boy!
Okay the pee story is just too funny. I too am amazed at little kids bladder control. My three year old refuses to go until he is ready in the morning which can be as late at 8am!
Fun mail!
Mouth chunkies...Are they canker sores? I sometimes get those when I eat sour candies or sugar babies candy. Painful though.
Hi Jill. Wow - comment #21. I've been absent from the blogging world these past couple days....
Urine samples - pain in the butt. No good mail. Mouth "chunkies" - too funny.
I hope you are having a good week!!
