My throat hurts

Good day.

Yesterday, we had to take Logan to the endocrinologist for his hypothyroidism.  While there, his doc and I discussed one of Logan's little problems.  (Mommy's sorry, Logan... I'm helping ppl learn...) We talked about...Logan's smaller than normal, um... winkis.  She told me it is normal for boys with down syndrome and there is something we can do to help out in that area- she then begins typing on her pc in his chart. This was dangerous, because she gave me time to think.  When I think, my mind goes zooooom, way out there in left field.  I immediately think, viagra?? He's a baby- and he doesn't need what Viagra dishes out. Then I pictured Swedish Made Penis Enlarging Pump? NO... he's not Austin Powers. She then looks up and says, "um, we can give him 3 shots of testosterone, 1 shot a month for 3 months."  I just said, "yeah, ok. Works for me." (of course, it works for me, I'm not the one getting the shots.)  I was perfectly happy with the way he was built... that way, when he comes of age, maybe he won't be able to use it.  ** side note: Most boys with DS are sterile**  So I am not worried about him getting a girl knocked up, I just don't want him to be a playa. These shots are meant to help with potty training.  When he sits on the potty ring, we never know where he's going to be shooting. Aww, my poor baby.  I will move on from that and say, that overall, we are VERY blessed or lucky that Logan doesn't have many of the issues many kids with DS face.  No heart issues, no bowel issues, he is quite advanced mentally and physically for their group.  He is above average on the DS growth chart, so another of my kids is going to be an Amazon like their mother.

While we were @ the docs, Hubs mentioned that Mazlyn needed new sandals (we just bought her some 2 months ago- she's gonna have huge feet like me. He then added, well, Logan does too. I then said we have to buy Caden a pair then because it's not fair.  The kids were not being great so I didn't want to take them to a store.  I decided to Internet shop for shoes.  I remembered seeing the cutest croc sandals for little girls and I figured that was the way to go.  I'm not a huge fan of them for me, but they are cute on little ones.  So, went to crocs.com and ordered the kids' shoes.  They each got a free jibbitz with the shoe.  Then I broke down  and bought Crocs for myself (EEEK!) I said I would never buy them, but a couple girls @ work have a very cute style and they said they were comfy. I then went scouring the Internet for promo codes.  I ended up getting 4 pairs of crocs and 3 jibbitz for 56.00!  The boys' were 19.99 and mine were only 14.99 and Mazzy's were 9.99. I got free shipping.  Oh, and I was a new email signer-upper so I got the boys' for 14.99 too.  I ended up using 3 promo codes.  How cool is that? Cheap. Cheap. Cheap.  http://www.crocs.com/ and the coupon sites were http://dealspl.us/crocs-coupons and of course I can't find the one I used.  I remember the codes were GABBY999, OLIVIA1499, and of course sign up for email coupons, and you will get an email with a code to receive 20% off of everything else.  Plus free shipping for a limited time and 1 jibbitz for each pair of boys/girls pair of crocs you buy.  (not a huge selection, but they are free.)  Just remember to add the jibbitz to the cart or you won't get them.



What else... I really need to clean my floors and organize my crafting stuff.  It's taking over my house.  I just don't have a good place to do my thang.  Hubs has his half of the basement, kids have their half of the basement, Logan has the whole house. Whimper.

As mentioned above, I'm trying to potty train Logan.  He's going to have a permanent potty ring on his butt because he has been sitting on the potty 85% of the day.  Is that child abuse?  I took a mirror and leaned it on the wall so he can watch himself, plus he can watch TV while he's sitting there.  He seems happy, but he's going to have 'roids for sure.

Why are Chris Rock's teeth so white?  Holy crap!  I could see my reflection in those bad boys.  I want super white teeth that glow in the dark.  They have to be veneers.  I'm jealous.

As of the end of this month, I am no longer going to be selling uppercase living.  It was good while it lasted, but I don't have the extra time to do open houses and no one has the cash flow to buy them. This bloggin' thing is fun, and even though I don't make $ doing it, it keeps me occupied, which is what UL was supposed to do for me (so I wouldn't go crazy.)

Well, I better get my kid off of the potty.  Ciao for now.
