You are Sponge Bob Square Pants:
You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey, it’s funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from traitors and jealous people, and you will be stress free.
Funny thing is I loathe SPONGE BOB. (Nathan says it is two words!)
Did you know that you can get a real letter in the mail from Santa! Check it out.
What? Santa has time to write back? I think no a days kids would understand if he sent an email. Somebody came up with a money maker!
You do have to pay, ($10) so if you really want a letter from Santa I will write it and put it in the mail for you! Just send me a SASE and I’ll make it authentic!
Ok, first we didn’t have to call 911. Here is the sotry;
Avery is almost 19 months old and we had out first emergency this afternoon. I went to Brooke’s house to visit (since she is 3 days “overdue”). Brooke was swinging Avery in front of her from side to side. Avery was laughing it up and all of a sudden began to cry. Avery is pretty tough. She falls all the time, conks her head and laughs about it. We let her get herself up when she falls and let her try stuff on her own…
So there she is holding her right arm. I asked her is sign language if she has pain and she nods her head but can’t show me the sign. So, I get her to the car still not sure if she is just tired or what. Getting her in the car seat was tough, she was screaming and holding her arm. So I called the doctor and they said to bring her in. I was happy that they didn’t send me to the ER or urgent care.
There was no swelling so it probably wasn’t a break but could be a shoulder, elbow or wrist dislocation. YIKES.
I go to pickup Dan from work because I am little freaked out now. As I am driving there she falls asleep! Weird. Maybe she isn’t hurt after all. She tried to suck her thumb with her right hand and begins to cry again. Her arm is lying there limp next to her in the car seat.
We get to Dr. Sally and they take her right in and lay her down on the bed thing. She just lies there with her right arm extended not moving at all. She wants to read a book but can’t sit up by herself. Dr. Sally comes in, determines it is not a break, and that it is probably dislocated at the elbow. OUCH! It took her 3 times to get it back in place. You can only imagine the screaming that went on. Every time Dr. Sally came near her, she began to scream. 2 minutes after the elbow being put back in the right place, Avery was all smiles and pointing at stuff and holding a stuffed animal. THANK GOD.
We went home and had a good dinner.
Broke, who is overly pregnant friend horrible! I told her it was an accident. I don’t think I like the unplanned doctor’s visit! Maybe Nathan can comfort her… another good story!
Stacy’s store (you know, the mother of all coffee houses) is having their annual Holiday Cheer party on Tuesday, December 5th from 6 to 8pm. It is in Camarillo on the corner of Ponderosa and Las Posas in the Ralph’s shopping center. There will be fire trucks, free drinks (hot chocolate), crafts, music and so much more…
Kid Prints will be there to make FREE ID cards for kids. They are ID cards that have your kids picture on it with all the important information and their thumb print. It is all kept on filr so that if your kid is lost or taken (God forbid), you can give the card to security or police and they can get all the info they need- physical description and a photo. If you were in this situation I don’t think we’d be thinking straight to give them all the details.
Did I mention it’s all FREE?
Hope to see you there!!
Whatever you end up doing, whoever you end up eating with- enjoy yourselves. Hey, most of you have the day off and if you don’t I hope you get paid extra!
Suggestion: take a walk after over eating!
Pacific View mall in Ventura will hold a grand opening Saturday morning for its renovated children’s play area on the second floor.
Every restroom should have one of these. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to pee and not been able to since you can’t take shopping carts in the restroom. One time at Starbucks I took the high chair (on wheels) into the restroom with me! 
They have something like this at Ikea. Thanks Jason.
The season is finally over! Last night was the Championships and I think that the Bridge team ended up 5-5. Which isn’t all that bad since most of these guys haven’t ever played together while the other teams have for years and years. Avery and I went to all the games we could and pretty much had fun at every one. The Lipperts brought hot cocoa, kids brought bikes & scooters, Julie explained all the crazy rules and we all brought blankets! Dan is going to play again next season. We’ll be making pom-poms and colorful signs for next season… maybe even paint our faces… we’ll see!
