Busy!

Geesh....times fun when you're having flies.

OK yesterday Chelsea went to the Dr. to her shot and then I took her to school. I picked her up early and took her to the dentist. All is well. 1 cavity that I apparently forgot to get filled on her last set of treaments.

I was able to get Jake's Dr. to call in a prescription for his eczema so I didn't have to make the drive to Scottsdale. She had already seen it and so she had noted it in his chart. If this med doesn't work though, I have to take him in. It doesn't look like its working so far. His legs are not as red but they are still as bumpy as ever. Poor little man!

Mom got Josh a Potty Watch that goes off every 30, 1 hour or 2 hours. You can do the settings as potty training goes on. So of course, I have it on 30 minutes. Ugh. Am I getting my exercise! I figure with one more to potty train I should have a great buttocks come next Christmas from all the getting up I am doing.
So far Josh loves the Potty Watch. I am liking it too because it is reminding me.
I put big boy pants on him today to see if that would encourage him to stay dry. It didn't. But it was worth a shot.

Had a HOA meeting Tuesday. It went well. VIce Mayor May was there again. So I sat with her. I am looking to get into something again. Well, one more surgery and I think I might like to sit on a committee. I asked her what was open and she said everything. So .....I will look into what interests me and start getting into the Town politics. Though I do love supporting my neighborhood, I love Buckeye so much and I want to help it along. What a great town we live in! Love it here!

My wonderful neighbor Rae made more food for us. I'm tellin' ya, she is so totally awesome. She made the burritos I never got to try because my Mom loved them so much. She also made quiche and I love quiche. I haven't had any yet because I was going to have it today but Chelsea forogt her PE clothes. So I had to load the kids in the car and go into town. Well, though I live in a small town, they are doing major reconstruction and you can't take left here or a right there and it is all so complicated. So it took a lot longer than expected. I ended up going through Sonic and getting the boys and I something to eat. But I will have the quiche tomorrow.
She is such an angel.

Oh, did I mention that she was a foster mom? She and her husband decided to take in teen girls because they were the least desired children to take in. Thats the kind of saint she is. Right now she has two girls. One has made a connection with an Aunt and will likely go and live there and the other is getting ready to age out of the system. But she and her husband have fallen in love with this little 9 year old and they will foster her and then adopt. So cool!
She also started a food bank here. She is doing it via her church and out of her garage. She gets all this free food from the local stores and gives it to the needy. She said whenever I need something, to let her know. It's nice that I actually may not need to leave the house if I ever need eggs or something.

OK so onward. Speaking of friends. Cynthia called me. Bless her heart. She offered to sit with the kids Sat. afternoon so I could get housework done or go out with Charlie. She is too kind to me! I am just so thankful she has been there for us. How can I ever thank her enough for being there while I wallowed in self pity and goobers. Even when I needed that emergency blood transfusion and she was in the midst of moving, she took the boys. She really is incredible. And it makes me think that I just do not have enough trust in people anymore. I mean I put up this huge wall because I have found that somehow or another people tend to let me down eventually. Like the friends I spoke of earlier. I mean years and years of knowing people and *poof* gone once I got cancer. But then you meet people like my Bern, Rae, Cynthia, my neighbor Zoila, and you doubt yourself and your ability to not read people like you thought you could. I have met the most amazing people in AZ. (& Bern in CA).
Just when I think I have it all figured out darn it. Then life sends me a curveball. Whats up with that?

So get this. There is this foundation called Cancer Cares. They help with all kinds of stuff related to cancer. So I called them today for financial assitance because my bills are starting to come in. So this is what she says to me "I am sorry, if you are done with treatment, we cannot help you". I said "But the hospital didn't ask me for money up front, they billed my insurance and then billed me for the remaining" So like a broken record she says "I understand your frustration but we cannot help you unless you are currently having chemo" So I repeated again "They didn't ask me for money on the spot for every treatment, they are billing me now because the insurance isn't covering some of the procedures" So then she says the exact same thing. I said "OK thanks" and hung up.
Does anyone understand that?

OOOOH, Heroes is back and as good as ever. Survivor started tonight. Amazing Race is coming. HOLY COW! Ghost Hunters was on last night. I am SO excited!
