In the title I'm not entirely referring to the weather. Last Christmas I wasn't able to completely relax and enjoy it. We left for Uruguay on New Year's Eve so through the whole Christmas season I was stressed about getting ready for it and getting everyone prepared for the big trip. This year I thought, "Yes! I can just sit back and enjoy all the good things of Christmas." Not entirely so. All this stuff has been heaped on us at once. Blake has been working with The Early Intervention group because he was late at walking and still has problems with feet placement. The physical therpist thinks he needs braces for his legs to correct the problem. So I had to go to his pediatrician to get a prescription for those. Well, no big deal because it was time for his check up anyway. I told his doctor what was going on and he disagrees with the physical therapist and has referred me to an orthopedics doctor. Blake's appointment is scheduled two days before Christams.
I myself went to the dentist earlier this week because a tooth was bothering me. We don't have dental insurance but I was able to get an emergency appointment with the free clinic. The plan was to do a root canal and after they had been drilling for what felt like an hour they thought they should take more x-rays to see if they got everything. Turns out that the tooth wasn't worth saving and so they decided to pull it. Well, guess what? The roots go up into my sinus area therefore requires the expertise of an oral surgeon. So now for the past couple of days I've been searching for dental insurance that will cover this procedure without a waiting period because I've got to get it done within a month.
On top of these two things I have my husband pressuring me to get some immagration papers filed. The paperwork is to get his status changed from conditional resident to permanent resident which I understand is very important but technically doesn't have to be done for another month. If any of you have dealt with immigration you know that a simple form doesn't cut it. You have to send every kind of proof that says you truly exsist and says you are who you really say you are.
I know that I really shouldn't be complaining because it could be a lot lot worse. The purpose of this very long post is to vent and complain and throw a pity party that I don't get my worry-free Christmas. Something tells me that as long as I have kids on this earth that's not going to happen. Have a very Merry Christmas everybody!

Oh man! I'm sorry that you've have had to go through all of that! Can they wait a couple of months on Blake's walking? Micah walked late, too, but he's fine...won't he be okay, once he gets the hang of it? Or is his foot placement more of a problem then just "learning to walk". Also, that stinks about your tooth. I know WITH dental insurance, it's still pricey to get work done. I can't imagine what it would be like without it! I hope that you can relax for at least Christmas! I hope you have a good one! We should get together after the holidays settle down!
AMEN! let me know if I can be of any assistance.
I'm sorry my dear! But maybe with all of this, you will still have a relaxing Christmas DAY, if not the whole season! :) Love you!
Make Daniel do his own immigration papers if he wants it done so bad. That would take a load off of your shoulders.
