1. I received a great phone call today from the pediatric medical supply company that Martha's tubing supplies come from. Her insurance will now begin covering her Neocate. I was able to get a month's supply from WIC on Monday (I was in a hurry before the funds ran out from the shutdown), and now I can rest easily knowing that from now on (fingers crossed), getting Martha's formula will be as simple as a phone call.
2. I am patiently waiting Luke's arrival home from school. It has been a good week, but I'm looking forward to having him in the house all weekend.
3. I'm bidding on a lot of used toys on ebay for Martha. They light up and make noise, which, with my other children, would have been out of the question. But I see their usefulness with Martha, and I'm excited thinking about how well technology is able to help young children communicate. If she can learn the concept of pushing a button to make sound, then we're set.
4. Looking through my closet, I have exactly one pair of jeans I like. It shows my age, but I really like wide-leg, trouser fit jeans. Do you have any idea how hard those are to find? I won't wear skinny jeans, matchstick jeans, or any other style of jeans that tapers at the leg. I just can't do it. Have I mentioned I'm only few months from turning 30? Are wide leg the new Mom Jeans? I pray not, I dearly love to look like I know what I'm doing.
5. In August I went full-blown Paleo. I felt great, lost a few pounds quickly, and had an enormous amount of energy. Mark was in it with me, too, and I had fun making different pureed soups and spaghetti squash; green smoothies. We fell out of it because we both love bread and potato chips. Ho hum. After a week of carbo-loading lamenting my eldest's stint at school, I feel like the big el crappo. I'm going to try Paleo again, or a modified version of it that includes Oreos, and see if I have a little more energy. We might decide to train for something, too.
Have a great weekend!

Yay for Martha's insurance coverage!
I'm sure you enjoyed your oldest home all weekend ;-)
Just put out the word you are looking for light-up electronic toys and I'm sure many will land in your lap for FREE!
Not many women really can do skinny jeans; some that try probably shouldn't. I prefer bootcut, but then I just turned 40 so what do I know?
Good luck on the Paleo-Oreo diet :-)
Mary has just the toy for her friend. You missed our major toy clean out that we do annually in August to prepare for birthdays and Christmas. I know we sent several of that type out.
I won the lot! I have Martha's birthday and Christmas covered. Erin, the lot includes that toy Claire had with the flowers that sang!!
Lorrene, I hadn't thought to ask for toys. We are so rough on things in our house, unfortunately, and I always feel terrible in case we break something, or it "accidentally" gets thrown down the stairs. In this case, I got 14 toys for a very reasonable price. Next time I'll think to ask!
I caved on the oreos. Feel rotten, so I'm drinking tea now. Ugh.
The chime garden?! That's the best part, the name. We still have ours, though the center flower suffered a few too many throws down the stairs and no longer chimes.
