insured

After worrying about the little man's health insurance for months, I have heard good news from the mail today. The application for his health insurance is approved. That was after searching for different insurance online and asking relatives what to do. We are happy. We are hoping he will not have to use it though. We got him the insurance for just in case. He is a kid and they tend to get hurt or get sick and since he can't tell us much what is wrong we might have to go to the doctor. Now I will not get to upset when he is not feeling good. I still pray he will continue to be a healthy boy and not give me a scare. The husband said I am prone to panic and I must admit I am when it comes to this little boy.

nothing to do

The husband has a doctor's appointment today but we decided not to go with him because it was at a hospital downtown. Parking is hard to find and there are a lot of people milling around. I figured it is safer for me and the little man to stay home and wait for him. I think I made the right decision since the little man crawled up in bed with me just a few minutes after his father left. It saved me from having to deal with tantrums had I decided we go with the husband. I do make some sound decisions sometimes, lol. And since the little man is asleep and the husband is not home yet, I am left with nothing to do except mull over what to eat for lunch and search online about liporexall for no apparent reason. Yeah, I am bored. I am happy when my cousin from Denmark called online but his internet connection is on and off and it is aggravating. Hays, I should just go ahead and eat so I will be ready in case the husband decides to go to the beach to walk. His doctor advised him to do some walking hoping it will do some good for his back. I sure will be happy when he gets to feeling better.

diet 101

The sister-in-law and I decided to get on some kind of diet because we both agree we are fat. We talked about it and we started today, Monday. We agreed that we are going to remind each other online or on the phone (we live on different states) so neither will cheat. I hope this will work out. We are not planning on anything drastic, just cutting back on food and trying to eat healthy at the same time. No weight loss pills of any kind. We agreed this will be about discipline and endurance. Will we be successful? We don't know but we are hoping we will. It is awful when one has to buy bigger size clothes, much less when one has to try to hide the so called love handles. I hope to be able to fit in to my pre-pregnancy clothes at least. I hope that is not an impossible goal to achieve.

saving pictures

The husband bought me a new flash drive to store pictures I have saved on my computers. I have saved pictures on both of my computers and I know I need to have a back up in case these crash. I have not transferred any pictures in it though. I am too lazy to even lift a finger to save the pictures even if I have had tons of pictures lost when our desktop crashed. I should have learned my lesson huh? But I am hoping these two will not give me problems. I have transferred some pictures on a CD although I really have to transfer it to the flash drive for added security. Sometimes I think the old ways of taking pictures was better. You know, the ones that has to be developed. Then all I would have to do was save the pictures from getting wet or tore up. But then digital camera is economically sound for us so I don't really have much choice. So I should get my lazy butt up and do whatever has to be done and quit complaining :)

need a new television

We are looking for a television set for the little man's room. We want him to have his own tv so he can watch cartoons or the DVD's I bought for him without interrupting anybody. The husband is now into watching documentaries and they sometimes argue as to what channel to watch. We also need a tv for him so I can finally buy him that toy set which only works when connected to a tv set. I have been looking on stores and online and I am not happy with the options.Television sets are expensive anymore. No, I am not looking for an LCD HDTV, just something cheap yet durable because we know he can be rough with it especially if it is within reach. My budget is less than a hundred dollars but with the current rate, I don't know when I can even find one.

more memory

The husband restored his laptop to an earlier date to make it load faster. Whenever his computer acts up, this is what he does which usually solves the problem. And since mine was loading so slow and I was not feeling good this morning, I asked him to restore my laptop when he was done with his. He did but he restored it on a date prior to the date when I had the virus protection loaded in it. I was not happy and I know I was being a b%$&# but I want that virus protection so bad because I don't want my computer to crash. I am paranoid when it comes to that. Instead of saying thank you I ended up yelling at him. I am ashamed for acting like a brat. The husband deserves an apology. He said he will never do what I ask him to do again when it comes to the computer. I am only using one right now because my old laptop needs more laptop memory, it only has 1G and it was not enough. I may have to purchase more memory for it if I will know how and where to go. That is why I am being extra careful with this pc I am using right now. Still, it was not reason enough to yell.

big boy bed

I have been looking for bed frames on stores and online for the little man. He is still using his bed which was originally his crib. It is getting small on him since he is growing up. I want a regular bed for him. I will bypass the kid's bed and just buy him an adult bed so we will not have to be buying and then discarding beds and bed frames. I am not getting lucky though since I really want something affordable. We can't spend too much money right now. I hope there will be sales or I can get hold of a coupon so we don't have to pay full price. I hope I will get lucky for ours and the little man's sake.

big problem

The husband made fun of me earlier. He said he saw a bald spot on my head and even pinpointed it. Now I am crazy over things like that. I freak out when there is something wrong with me. When he saw I was really worried he laughed and said I am not only bald, I am also fat and my ear is crooked (this is worth another post). When I realized he was just making fun of me I showed him my fist and said it was enough to break his nose, lol. He wandered away from me, laughing so hard. I have a crazy husband. Well, it turned out I don't have a bald spot. My ears are fine. Which leaves me with one truth, I am fat. I am not denying it either. In fact I have yapped about it often enough some people are probably tired of hearing (or reading) it. If there is only a way to get slim quick without working out or perhaps take something for appetite suppression so I don't have to eat too much. What I would give to be slim. Or perhaps it should read, what I should do to lose weight. The answer lies in my hand I know that. But laziness strikes and then stays sometimes. I need motivation.

waiting for a sale

I need another pair of jeans. My old ones that I brought from PI do not fit anymore. This is what happens when a girl lets herself go, lol. I purchased two pair when I went shopping at the beginning of the year and now I want one more from the same store. I got lucky and found a store to buy jeans that fits around the waist even if I (with the husband's help at the time) had to hem them. Those were a bit expensive than I am used to so I am waiting for the store to have a sale to buy a new pair. When that will happen, I have no idea. I am patient though, I can wait. As long as I can buy a pair before the year is over. What a girl will do to shop for clothes :)
