Ethan finished SQ yesterday is now in Kingston today :) I'm jealous!! 5 weeks left of course training, and then maybe we will hear some news....hopefully sooner!
Sarah's doctor appointment went very well. The doctor was concerned about the dark circles under her eyes/wet cough and also her weight. She's 90% percentile for height of a 3 year old (umm...she's only 2 by the way) and off the chart for a 3 year old's weight. I admit, she is constantly eating....and I need to be better about her diet. He recommended a low carb diet and gave me some books to read. He also put her on some vitamins, and cod liver oil. I'm suppose to take her in for some blood tests etc. soon too, and we did x-rays already. So....hopefully.....at our next appointment (June 3) he might have some idea what is wrong with her....
In other news. Grandma Diane and Uncle/Dr. Dave are coming to visit this weekend. It will be nice to have some company and help with Sarah. I haven't had any help with her the whole month he's been gone so far. I'm trying to not be bitter, as I've had a few people offer/promise ethan they would help me...and then bail on me. Thinking Positive...Thinking Positive.
The sun is shining today! 1 week till our trip to nanaimo.

There goes week 3 :)
I'm happy to report week 3 went by really fast. Almost half way there! Ethan is finishing up his soldier course next week and then he's off to Kingston for his first bit of career training. I could tell you what that is....but I would have to kill you. My mom is coming to visit next Friday, then a week later we're off to nanaimo. There goes May...woohoo..
I definitley had a bit of burnout this week....but a few early nights and I seem to be feeling better. Happy mothers day to me? We went to the shrine circus last weekend. Sarah really enjoyed it. It was actually pretty entertaining...even for an old lady like me... especially with free tickets! My only complaint is how they really push you to buy all their overpriced circus crap (aka. glow swords that you could buy for like $1 at walmart...selling for $12!) no, of course I didn't get one! It was REALLY hot in the tent, so we did spurge for some cancer causing snow cones (artificial color and flavor)...but....it was worth it.
Hmm...I always think of things to write...and then when I get around to writing...I totally forget what I was going to say.
Oh, we have an appointment with a private doctor this afternoon, and hopefully he can figure out what's wrong with Sarah. We've been to about 4 regular doctors, and one homeopath... and they have all proved to be pretty useless... It annoys me that we get free health care...but that means a 3 hour wait followed by 30 seconds with a useless doctor. This one is going to cost a zillion dollars...but he apparently is really good, and uses natural alternative stuff...but he's a real doctor....we've been waiting 4 months to see him...so here's hoping! It's a one hour asessment. I admit the Homeopath we saw a while ago was very nice....but he blamed it all on vacinnes, and the secret potion remedy's seemed to do nothing for sarah's health.
Anyhoo...Sarah has really DARK circles under her eyes....and has had a wet cough/ runny hose for about 10 months of the last year. She also gets a lot of tummy aches. If you think it's dairy...you're wrong...I took her off milk for 6 months - no changes. If you think it's asthma, like most stupid doctors, you are wrong. Inhalers did nothing, and she seems unaffected by the weather. She's not short on breath. So yeah...that's where we sit. My latest theory is a mold allergy?....but I'm no doctor. Sarah's room has a HUGE window in it, that was rotting....we replaced it a few weeks ago (holy expensive batman) and her cough went away.....but sometimes it does go away...so it could be coincidence....we will seeeeeeeeee. I recorded some video a few weeks ago, when her cough was really bad...and put it on my ipod to show the doctor today (wow, I AM a geek)...
stay tuned...for more un-exciting stories of the single-military-wife-blonde-mommy...who REALLY WANTS TO MOVE TO ONTARIO!!!!!

Week 2 of 9
Well,
almost 1/4 of the way done this stretch of single-wife-hood I guess... The 2nd week went pretty good....except for the weather!! ugggh... anyhoo...not really much to report. I got some free circus tickets, so me and sarah are going to go this weekend. I had my birthday. Sarah made me cupcakes, and sang for me (see my facebook for the video). My mom is coming to visit in a couple of weeks, and then we're off to nanaimo for a week...so hopefully...May passes quickly! I'm super busy at work...but that has kind of helped pass time a bit faster...but still way too slow! Our house is all ready to sell...all I need is the word from the military.......so I wait....and wait and wait.....it's a big frustrating when your life is in the hands of the goverment....but.....it'll all be worth it...right? that's what I keep telling myself, again and again and again....
