Seriously?

Dermatologists are lame.  I waited over a month to see the doctor.  This morning was the big day.  I arrived at the appointment 10 minutes early, because I knew I would have to fill out new patient paperwork.  Then, I sat in the waiting room for nearly 45 minutes.   And then, I sat in the exam room waiting for the doctor for another 15 minutes.  After all of this waiting, do you know what he told me?  USE LOTION.  Seriously fuckface?  I have been using lotion everyday for the past four months.  You can't think of any other solution?  Basically, the doctor doesn't know why my hands are peeling excessively, so he just wants me to put more lotion on it.  What a waste of time and money.  Lesson learned: Dermatologists suck ass.

Let's talk

My skin continues to cause me heartache.  My fingers, although no longer actively peeling, just refuse to heal.  They look horrible and wrinkly and dry.  My face is also a mess.  I still have the tiny bumps on my nose.  Unfortunately, they are now on my forehead too.  And I still have almost two weeks until my dermatologist appointment.  UGH!

My baby boy is sooooo close to walking.  He can stand independently for several seconds.  He'll occasionally let go of the furniture and take two or three steps forward.  He has mastered his old-man-walker and can round corners with ease.  It is so bittersweet.  I am so proud, but also a little sad.  I want him to grow and develop, but at the same time I want him to always be my chubby, cuddly baby.  This mama gig is tough

We decided not to enroll the kids in dance class again.  Instead, we enrolled Porgie and Izzy in a roller skating class.  They love it!  I highly recommend it as a stress free extra-curricular activity.

My grandma finally came home from the physical rehabilitation center last Tuesday.  The staff recommended that she stay for a few more weeks, but granny was admit that she was ready to go home.  Unfortunately, she had a terrible first night home (she was in a lot of pain).  She was also having some trouble going up and down the stairs in my cousin's house.  So (I still can't believe I am typing this), my grandmother actually asked to be returned to the rehab center.  I was very proud of her for actually admitting that she needs more help.  Granny is back at the rehab center and doing well.  We are hoping that she will be well enough to come home by the end of October.

I had three dental crowns placed yesterday.  I have become kind of obsessed with one of them.  The color seems off and the the shape isn't right either.  How did I not noticed that while I was at the dentist's office?  I am going back on the 11th, but I am not sure there is much the dentist can do.  He already cemented it to the implant.  I think I just need to stop staring at it in the mirror.  No-one else has noticed the goofy tooth.  I even tried to get the kids to pick out the funny looking tooth, but they just made me feel worse by pointing out other flaws in my natural teeth.

The baby continues to suck at napping.  We've had a few days where has slept for almost 3 hours, but then he goes right back to the 30 minute nap.  Frustrating.

I just can't believe it is October already.  INSANITY.  Christmas is in 2 months.  TWO MONTHS.  I haven't done any shopping for the kids yet.  What about you?
