Kidney Stone


First I must say that the Obama look alike doctor was telling the truth about this little sucker not causing pain while peeing out, so perhaps there is hope for our country :)

Do you see those sharp, splinter like things? Yeah, it hurt like a mother. I've often heard that kidney stones are comparable to labor pains. Well here is my analysis : Having a baby is something that has been prepared for. Books have been read, doctor appointments, hospital tours and meetings have all occurred. While I don't think there is anything REALLY to prepare anyone for that experience it is something that you know is coming up and at the end of the agony you finally get to meet that sweet little baby that's been apart of you for 9 months. The aftermath is so worth every painful moment. 
Now let's compare that with a kidney stone. On Tuesday I didn't know WHAT was going on, I didn't know how to make it go away, I didn't know how long it was going to last and the doctors couldn't give me anything for the pain until they knew what they were treating. Which by the time they figured it out, I had already gone through the painful stuff. Plus the fact that I was in Urgent Care and the ER the entire day did not make things easier. So obviously I'm pretty sure the kidney stone was worst. 
But I do have to say it was really fun hanging out at the ER with Pete (once the pain had subsided) we never get to spend 5 hours together alone, not sure it was worth the kidney stone, but it sure was nice to have some time to hang out.

Happy New Year!

 We thought we’d bring some new energy to 2021 by completely tearing our house apart and getting our carpets cleaned. The cleaners were scheduled for December 30th, so we pulled everything out of bedrooms and gave the walls and baseboards a good scrub. In order to allow the carpets time to dry we didn’t want to walk on them so we used Elliott’s points and got a hotel up in the Woodlands. We stayed at the Marriott along the waterway and it was beautiful. There ended up being a storm that night which was unfortunate because we weren’t able to walk down the waterway and enjoy the whole scene up there. We ordered Shake Shack from Uber Eats and watched Hook all snuggled up in our beds. It was a perfect evening.  Once we returned home we got to work putting bedrooms back together then later that night celebrated the new year! It’s become tradition for us to do taste tests with the kids blindfolded. We did different flavored oreo’s and ice drinks. We ordered Buffalo Wild Wings and wa...

Good Morning

Our kids don't sleep in. If they make it past 6:30 it's an extremely rare occasion. The problem with this is that Pete and I are not exactly morning folk. We make goals that say we will be in bed before 10pm, but after a week or so we are back to staying up way to late. Having Netflix is not helping either. We love watching documentaries and could watch them all night long. Every morning looks a little something like this. Our kids full of energy and ready to conquer the day, while Pete and I are wanting to kill ourselves.

December

There are a lot of words that could be used to describe 2020. Unpredictable, scary, death, political insanity, isolation, divisive, racial inequality, quarantine, masks etc. etc. It was really rough for us around June-October when we had no idea whether or not Elliott would have a job. Thankfully we were one of the lucky ones that didn't get furloughed. Financially speaking our biggest hit was that overtime was cut. We had big plans of paying off a lot of debt from law school and going on our first family trip to Disneyworld. Without that overtime we make about $2,000 less a month and it's quite a hit, but we are making it work. We canceled our Disneyworld trip and are living paycheck to paycheck but had Elliott been furloughed for an undermined amount of time I don't know what we would have done. I know there are many families in that situation and I wish we were in a position to offer some assistance instead of treading water. I feel very blessed and fortunate for where w...
