Lil Man's Visit with Me at the Dr.

Lil Man had to go with me yesterday to the foot dr. He was intrigued by all of the people in the waiting room. Apparently people watching makes him hungry because he ate a fruit chew, a fruit rollup type thing and half a bag of yogurt melts. It reminded me of how people shove in popcorn by the handful at the movies.

Finally after a fairly lengthy wait, the nurse took us back to the room. She told me to "sit down and take your socks and shoes off". I put Lil Man in a chair (so I could sit on the exam table) and he immediately started trying to take his socks and shoes off.  Ha ha ha.. it took me a couple of times to convince him that she wasn't telling him to take his socks and shoes off.

He wasn't so cooperative when the Dr. came in (sigh). Yeah, he was tired of sitting. So my actual Dr visit was stressful as I tried to wrestle a squiggling, back bowing, whining, about to have an all out tantrum toddler.

But he was cute as he waved 'bye' to everyone as we left. He started waving bye before the DR was finished writing  my prescription.

I think he removed all doubt that he was ready to get out of there.. and honestly.. so was I!

Rejection

You'd think as many times as I've been rejected in my life that rejection wouldn't hurt anymore. Really, I can't count the number of times that I've been rejected, or slighted, or been on the receiving end of cruel words. I'm almost 40 for pete's sake. Rejection shouldn't bring tears anymore, but it still does. It just seems like I've been faced with it a lot lately. It started with the Running and has seemed to carry over into other parts of my life. I have spent most of my life on the sidelines watching other people. That's what happened with the marathon.   Once again, I'm on the side as others do things that I want to do. I trained. I had to have an unexpected surgery. I got injured. I couldn't run. It happens. It isn't the end of  the world. But what many don't realize is that there are numerous times in my life that I am on the sidelines, watching, wishing I was the one 'out there' - not the one watching. . But

What Summer Taught Me

This Summer has been a big learning experience - for both Lil Man and myself. Who knew that an amusement park could be such a learning experience for both of us. I watched as my little boy, all on his own, climbed stairs among strangers, learned how to wait his turn, slide down a water slide, and do it over and over again. I watched as other kids shoved him out of their way, cut in front of him as he stood patiently 'waiting for his turn'. Groves of bigger kids kept cutting in front of him, and I held back and gave him time to respond. This for me was a learning experience. See, people have to have room or space to grow. So I learned how to let go, let out the leash a little, and give Lil Man some space. The first time the kids pushed him aside, he really didn't know what to do. After a few minutes of this, I did intervene. I told him to get in line. Take his turn, and when it was his turn he was to go. And the next time as other kids pushed past him, it only took a few

Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker Review and Giveaway

I love music and streaming music through various apps on my iPhone. But with the case that I have on my phone, it sort of blocks the speakers a little. I can hear, but it can be a little muffled. So when I heard about the  Adfilic Bluetooth Stereo Portable Wireless Speaker  I jumped at the chance to try it. I was a little nervous since there really wasn't a lot of instructions on setup. I mean it had the usual pictures of this button does this etc, but there really wasn't a lot of documentation with it. So I was a little apprehensive at first.  But it didn't take me too long to realize that I didn't need a lot of instruction. It was pretty much straight forward. Charge it. After it was charged, turn it on. I went into my connections on my iPhone. It immediately found it, paired, and I was good to go.  I did get a little confused on which button was volume up (and down). But after a little trial and error with that, I've had absolutely zero iss
