angry rants... plus drew's jr high look!

okay, i'm just mad at the world today. it's just one of those days. i've spent several days fighting all sorts of issues with our new insurance (through ed's job... i guess i've been really spoiled by our insurance and having my friend, holly, as my go-to girl with questions or problems). i'm battling some annoying rash on my legs for over a month and i'm sick of that too. now, drew has an eye infection and has to go back to the eye doctor. and, of course, i'm irritated that we didn't take him to the eye doctor here in town (walking distance), but instead returned to the place in the mall... 20 minutes away. i'm even annoyed right now that its raining outside because drew was to have a baseball game today and ed was excited to go- finally. anyway, i'm just crabby.

aside from my unpleasantness, things are pretty normal for us. (hmm, i HOPE my being unpleasant is not normal!!) we are supposed to have drew's baseball game. he hit a home run over the weekend, but we weren't with him so we didn't get to see it. ed was SO bummed to have missed that big moment. apparently, drew had a couple of really great hits over the weekend - we got an email from his coach telling us about it! anyway, i really hope the rain clears up... meanwhile, evan and i will be heading over to his school for open house. we'll have fun looking at art projects, meeting his 4th grade teachers and seeing friends. taylor and noah will have the option of coming with either of us (drew's game or ev's school), but the fact that we've just gotten the new halo 3 game makes me think they'll opt to stay home together (NOT common for these two to choose to be together, but this would be a special occasion!)

drew has officially joined the "jr high days" look. he finally got his braces on monday and then (because of the eye infection) is having to wear his glasses instead of contacts. i told him that i remember being in jr high and having glasses, braces and a really awful perm... that's just par for the course at that age. i tease him that the glasses and braces have come along to complete the mandatory trio of bad looks in middle school (this would be my making fun of his long hair... i hate it, but he loves it!)

gotta run and get drew for his appointment. hopefully i'll add the picture soon!! OKAY, here's a great picture of drew... and i'm certain he'll hate me for sharing it! but i have every intention of saving this picture for bribing purposes... or at least to share with girlfriends down the road!! :) (for the record, the headband is only to annoy me... he found it in nana's bathroom and put it on because i was teasing him about his long hair. thankfully, he doesn't normally look quite like this!!) but, it gives a better view of the glasses and braces.
