It would be very hard to find a librarian who is fluent in American Sign Languge.  But, yes so thankful allowing me to move.

150.6- no change.  Since I ate out twice yesterday my salt intake was probably quite high, I'll take it.

Not much exciting for me today, more work!!  Getting ready for a camping trip with extended family this weekend so that should be super fun.  Hoping the weather changes in our favor a bit more.

Diane, my dog is my best friend!!  Don't know what I would do without him.  But I don't sleep with him for several reasons.  One, he is huge and no room in the bed.  Two, he sheds so much black hair I can't figure out why he isn't bald.  Three, living here in beautiful Maine I'm afraid he'll get ticks or poison ivy on me!!  :)

Have a wonderful day skinnies!!!

Love, love camping with the family!!  We got a new camper this year so it's awesome.  And I'm so much more comfortable sleeping on the camper bed with 100+ pounds off.  Also my sleeping bag zips up, last year it wouldn't!  So grateful for the big and the small things!!

Last year a big portion of my family's vacation road trip was in Maine.  Absolutely beautiful.  Lucky girl :)

I love it here Shel, I'm lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country!  However, it's pretty darn cold and snowy in the winter.  And full of ticks in the summer!!!  Nothing is perfect :)

128.8- up Boooooooo! Well deserved though - work dinner last night. Won't get a real dinner tonight since I am teaching CPR at the ballpark so maybe that will make up for it?

Can't remember if I told you all that son #1 needs jaw surgery and we found out a few weeks ago that is won't be covered by insurance and the cost will be over $20,000. Oral surgeon wrote an appeal letter and it was denied. We had a grievance hearing yesterday morning and I had done a little research and my son's chromosome problem (XXY Male) can cause the under bit. I resented this info and my son also gave testimony on how the under bite is causing him problems, namely that he can't bite with his front teeth. Three hours later they called us and had reversed their decision - the surgery will be paid for! Pays to advocate for yourself and doesn't hurt that I work in the medical field and know the lingo and what they are looking for! Yay God!

It's amazing to me that insurance companies are allowed to decide what we need!!  Good for you for not backing down.  It's a shame that we have to fight for things we need!!!  I'm happy it worked out!!

Good deal.  Finding what they need to qualify seems to help us a lot.
