summer so far

This summer has went pretty well so far. Kacey is in a playground program through the park district and he really seems to enjoy it. They go on field trips to different places around the city. Jess got the loss prevention job so no more shitty hours. He gets 40 guaranteed which is so nice. I wasn’t able to get a job for the summer which sucks but it is what it is. I’ve had a lot of health stuff going on. I found out back in December that I have hypothyroidism so I have to take a pill for that. I just got my labs done last week and they upped my thyroid med because it was too high, I have to take 1200 mg of calcium a day and 800 of Vitamin D a day. I was told to watch my carbs and sugar because my glucose was 103 and its only supposed to be 99 or under. I still have sleep apnea and I have to schedule another ultrasound for my thyroid in August. School around here starts August 26th or 29th and next month is when all our meetings for school start and Kacey’s birthday is next month as well. I was thinking of taking him to Magic waters on his actual birthday or maybe to Madison Zoo. Jess is going to be leaving for his 2 weeks in August and unfortunately it overlaps on Kacey’s birthday so it will be just me and Kacey doing something.

The end of this month is my mom’s birthday and Lil Michelle’s 3 year anniversary of her accident. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since her accident. She has lost so much and gained so much. Her and her friend Amanda who was in the accident with her stopped being friends. It was over something pretty stupid but the way it sounds was coming. From what Lil Michelle has said ever since her accident Amanda has acted different towards her. Amanda had a annoying habit of trying to tell Michelle she was lazy and according to Amanda it was to motivate her but I don’t know too many people that would motivate. Then there was the way Amanda explained injuries to people like Michelle’s injuries weren’t that bad and how she got hurt too. There was a few occasions when Amanda actually threatened to hit Michelle and a few occasions when she actually did hit her or Michelle hit her first because she threatened to hit her. Michelle’s ex husband used to abuse her and threaten to hit her so now if someone threatens her she hits them first. I don’t blame her one bit. Amanda has this annoying habit of thinking only of herself and no one else. Whenever I hung out over at Michelle’s house when Amanda was there she was constantly bitching about being in pain and usually sat on her phone going on FB talking to her “friend” Shayne and dealing with his drama. Michelle told me that Amanda and Shayne are a bit more than friends and that her husband doesn’t know about it. It’s a weird situation because Amanda basically saved Michelle’s life but its not worth putting up with drama. Michelle is doing so well in therapy and life. She is going to be taking a 7 hour driving test in Chicago to see if she is ready for driving. I didn’t tell Jess this but I let her use his car in a church parking lot. She did pretty good even with her bad hand so I don’t think she will have a problem.

Speaking of Jess some idiot hit his car so now he can’t open his driver side door all the way and the quote we got said it would be over a thousand dollars to fix and that our insurance which is affirmative is one of the worse to have because they won’t cover it all and we will probably have to pay for half of it so I think we need to look into a different insurance company. So yea thats been our summer so far.
