I called the doctors to see if I could get in but there was <strong>nothing</strong> our doctor left early & that made the other Dr's full. So I go to the ER (St. Joseph's) with <strong>ALL </strong>the kids (3) get there about 3:30 get taken back no later than 4 I was like awesome right?! <strong>NOT AT ALL</strong> awesome after being there for 5 hours <strong>YES 5 f***ing hours</strong> the NURSE comes in and says "its a virus" we <strong>NEVER</strong> saw a Dr & what really pissed me off to the point that I was BEAT RED is that these people come in right when we are leaving and the DR came in immediately for a damn penis question (yes I heard the whole thing)! what a crock of $hit! I am going to call in the morning and tell them if I even see a charge for the "dr" I am <strong>NOT </strong>going to pay & I will tell my insurance to not pay for it either. A nurse OK but not a DR who we never saw! I just wanted to say that there were NO major traumas & they were not super busy when we got there! The Doctors were all eating gelato from International Mall & sitting on there big butts! Oh and he has a HUGE bruise on his arm from the IV its swollen & really black & blue! erghhh can you feel the anger through the computer?!!!!!Hipmom3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11894852851827486664noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859182727962023514.post-86303345585933207602009-01-07T15:04:00.005-05:002009-01-07T15:10:42.594-05:00wordless wednesday<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SWUMKlXTUyI/AAAAAAAAAH8/w7cpqdkx7ms/s1600-h/ww.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 185px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SWUMKlXTUyI/AAAAAAAAAH8/w7cpqdkx7ms/s320/ww.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288646713384588066" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SWUMEs3FgQI/AAAAAAAAAH0/43pW2FAIEpw/s1600-h/new+years+2009+017.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SWUMEs3FgQI/AAAAAAAAAH0/43pW2FAIEpw/s320/new+years+2009+017.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288646612317733122" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SWUL1C5kfuI/AAAAAAAAAHs/nM09Q5oTDRo/s1600-h/new+years+2009+005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SWUL1C5kfuI/AAAAAAAAAHs/nM09Q5oTDRo/s320/new+years+2009+005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288646343355825890" /></a>Hipmom3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11894852851827486664noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859182727962023514.post-12694705475654731332008-12-31T10:48:00.002-05:002008-12-31T10:49:52.056-05:00Its been a while...

In October of 2003, I found my first product and Mom 4 Life was born. The first product I carried was the <a href="http://www.mom4life.com/catalog.php?item=31">New Native Baby Carrier</a> followed soon after by <a href="http://www.mom4life.com/catalog.php?item=19">LilyPadz</a>. I was so excited about these two great products and knew that other moms were sure to love them as much as I did. Soon thereafter, I began to get recommendations from other moms about products that they knew and loved. Thus, my inventory began to grow including additional unique and useful items like <a href="http://www.mom4life.com/catalog.php?item=21">Hooter Hiders</a>, <a href="http://www.mom4life.com/catalog.php?item=15">Glamourmom tank tops</a>, the <a href="http://www.mom4life.com/catalog.php?item=197">Bella Band</a>, and <a href="http://www.mom4life.com/catalog.php?item=73">Bravado nursing bras</a>. Suddenly, my dream had become a reality. As my business grew so did its effects on others. My eyes were opened to the amazing talent of other mothers working from their homes and my product line quickly expanded to make room for the unique and useful products they offered. I am proud that Mom 4 Life’s extensive product line is comprised entirely of the handiwork of moms. As you browse the site, I hope you will take time to read their stories featured with their products and know that your purchase helps these mothers achieve their dreams as well.<br />Description: This 45 minute exercise journey is designed specifically for children ages 4-10 with a focus on mind, body , breathing and imagination.

I was a hot mess. I think both their teachers think I am a whack job since I was teary eyed & kissed them about 10 times before dropping them off, Just knowing that someone besides me is taking care of them and teaching them. Trust me there is NO WAY that I could do what these two women have set out to do this year, I know they are in good hands. I just pray that Jordan doesn't start playing with the toy chicken like it's a gun. thanks to daddy and his violent video games, that they sneak in at night while I put AJ to bed. Alyssa cry's every time I drop her off it just breaks my heart. But she says she has so much fun! Here are two pictures that I snapped right before we left them at school. (they go to two different schools)<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SKwa5DBTHQI/AAAAAAAAAEk/wdq307-12Go/s1600-h/first+day+of+school+2008+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236590034090663170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SKwa5DBTHQI/AAAAAAAAAEk/wdq307-12Go/s320/first+day+of+school+2008+001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SKwazsctKBI/AAAAAAAAAEc/gf1MyoY8MT4/s1600-h/first+day+of+school+2008+007.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236589942132254738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oQv89EoYzXg/SKwazsctKBI/AAAAAAAAAEc/gf1MyoY8MT4/s320/first+day+of+school+2008+007.JPG" border="0" /></a></div>Hipmom3http://www.blogger.com/profile/11894852851827486664noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859182727962023514.post-91317397035767332922008-08-16T09:22:00.000-04:002008-08-16T09:24:37.615-04:00Just add Dots and MomDot.comYou MUST go check these two sites out!
