The Day Of Love

A thought back from December...Well Jason and I decided to not buy each other Christmas Presents this year with intentions that would would trade my Jeep, yes I said trade for another car! For all who are keeping record of my car trading (yes I know some always ask "how many now","how long did you have it") I really wanna say mind your own business but this year I have decided not to let others thoughts bother me! So it would be trade number 16! I had the Jeep 13 months We bought it 1/1/11 yes Brand New 2011! When we got it I loved it but after a few months boy did I hate cloth,the no room and Jason hated the payment and the gas mileage! So even though we traded from a Tahoe to the Jeep we were really looking to go back to a Tahoe ! We looked and I found one I was about to Spaz to have loaded and a Hybrid a little more than we wanted to pay but hey I am a fast talker and I usually talk the dealer and Jason into what I want so hey I am thinking it is mine! Wrong it got sold before I could get there! I was heartbroken! Jason found a nice white one with all my "have to haves"(loaded without Navigation) but it had a few more miles on it than what I wanted ! It is hard to shop when you want only white or black with heated leather,captain chairs & Dvd! 2008 or 2009 under 50k ! So we talked about it and I looked all over for different things that potentially I liked! I researched well due to making sure I got all the bang for the buck! So Jason said would you consider a car ?? I was like NO! I will be miserable with two kids! Then as we discussed Mere would start peep this year which meant driving her to and from school and also 2013 means Real school and since Bethel is on the table that would be 60 miles a day with me just doing one trip and Mom doing the other so you are talking alot of gas! Also a car would be a cheaper payment which would help because tution has went up since I graduated! So I looked at Explores and Fusions and they devalue pretty fast as well as not really great on gas, I looked at Acadia's but gas mileage was still not good and if I were gonna pay that much I am going Tahoe! We liked the new Kia Optima but wow a new one to a used that was only 1 year old with low miles devalued 10k ! That is crazy and with us trading alot that was not an option! Jason liked the chevy cars I really do not so we really just kinda put it on hold and was gonna wait a little while! Well we went to Applebees for Supper on Friday January 27 and I said lets just look and see what is down here since we are right here! Well since National Jeep really made me mad last year with the n lies, I never intended to try to deal with them again! That being said I wanted to see the new VW Bugs since Opera gave them away but could not show them because they had not been released! So I pulled in for a look, Well Mere wanted a Red one as soon as she saw it Lol ! Definatley my Child! Well I looked at the Jetta it looked sharp with its new body style and I really liked the red but the sticker was way more than I wanted to pay for a car! So we went to Moore Buick as always! Well Jason asked did I really like the jetta and I said "it was alright" and he said to research size, fuel economy and all the info and see if I might would want it! I just laughed because me in a car NO WAY! Well, The inside was bigger than my jeep it was loaded and had all the options I wanted except automatic car start and the best part for good credit people it was like 1.0 intrest! Well I went back to National "just to see" and they were way off! So I called Frema and said "Beat IT" They did SO then I called back to National and Told Them, to "BEAT IT "and to my suprise they did ! Well I really did not know if it was what I definatley wanted but J really did he liked every aspect of it SO HE BOUGHT IT! SO THIS IS ALL HIM! I love the heated seats on the cold days and the kids have more leg room and it has 5 out of 5 star rating for everything! We get 10 more miles to the gallon ! So far I like it ! He is happy ! We have had it 2 weeks today and so far so good! But just know the next trade will probabley not be for awhile but I am betting I know what it will be :) !

Well It Has Been Awhile

Mason was going to see Dr. Fitch from Duke and we got a new diagnosis called TIBIAL TORISION , which is alot diffrent than the hip problem Dr Classen said he had! He wants us to continue PT and ordering his Theratoggs and Follow Up with him in 6 months! He thinks this is something he will outgrow but in 2 to 4 years with therapy, not what I wanted to hear! I want a quick fix but there is not one! So Therapy it will be! We have seen alot of improvment in standing and less falls per day! That being said PT re-eval said that all his aspects wear in the poor in grading scale because he has aged even though they are better than they were! So we are looking at PT for a long time! We have been battling sickness Mere had an ear infection about
3 weeks ago and I don't always do the follow ups but do to Mason having a 18 month PE I said just schedule them they same day ! Well I am glad I did and lets just say I always will do follow ups now they are important! Mere had been on antibiotics for 10 days and ear drops and when Sandy checked her it was still draining! So they sent off a culture and we go back Friday the 10th for another follow up and culture results! Mason's 18 month PE went pretty good, he was a little lean , he don't say as much as they like but they think that wil improve when Mere goes to school and don't talk for him! Other wise he looks good minus his Hypotonia problems! He has stared saying "I Love You"(not plain) and Sissy! He takes Mere by the hand and wants her to play with him and he shoots Jason's deer that is on the wall! We might have us a little hunter on our hands! Well that is all for now!
