<\/a>My brave scout<\/p><\/div>\n
Conor got the Trifecta in February. The end of January I finally got to the blood draw his pediatrician ordered months ago.\u00a0 The Phlebotomist is trying to take 3 vials outa my skinny little boy & halfway through the second one he passes out!\u00a0 But as I witness this I notice his fist is clenched and kinda shaking & my instincts are crying, “seizure”.\u00a0 We got him revived & I took him directly to the pediatrician & she ordered him to see a Neurologist.\u00a0 Just in case.\u00a0 An appointment I couldn’t get until next month.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Then Mid February Conor was at boy scouts and as they ran a physical fitness test a fellow scout got enthusiastic when getting past Conor & he kinda pushed him.\u00a0 As he fell… he broke his arm!\u00a0 I got the call cuz Luke only knew my phone number & they couldn’t find their father (who’s usual practice at scouts [like most of the parents] is to drop the kids off & do his own thing).\u00a0 So Sex God and I rush back from date night & take Conor to the ER.\u00a0 4 hours later we get home with a boy who’ left forearm is in a splint.\u00a0 Conor was amazing though.\u00a0 He didn’t cry once (even when it took 2 hours to get the pain killer), was tolerant and patient during the wait to get x-rayed & seen & splinted.\u00a0 And\u00a0 his pediatrician got him into a fabulous Ortho trama place the next morning to splint it.\u00a0 He actually had more fear & tears during THAT than the entire break!\u00a0 Topping off his Trifecta will be the fact he had another x-ray for his scoliosis and it’s gone from 7% to 11%.\u00a0 But he gets to go to the great Orthopedics office that set his arm. lol<\/p>\n
My new lover Bear was silent the ENTIRE month and I was really feeling he’d changed his mind about dating me.\u00a0\u00a0 But an accidental text to him got the whole gushing story of how much he’s been busy & sick for the month but still wants to see me.\u00a0 And every so often I’ll go online and do a little searching for the perfect Cub to have my own Trifecta.<\/p>\n
The downside of the month was the fact Sex God lost his job.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
This was a real shock to him and threw him completely into a spiral.\u00a0 At first he thought he’d get in on a clinical trial that would keep him nicely afloat for two months but when it fell through he was devastated.\u00a0 Its been a rough month being enthusiastically upbeat for him while trying NOT to parent him with tons of “do this” and “did you try this” nagging.\u00a0 He’s also been over a lot more, which I LOVE!\u00a0 But I miss the gym when he’s over during the week & Thin Mints are here (!) & TWO favorite books from the library I devoured while snacking away & had to go off my thyroid medication while I waited for a doc appointment through Obamacare & being off that med is known to cause to gain weight so I’m like up to 150 pounds!!\u00a0 Sex God thinks I’m just as luscious as ever but “I” don’t & Coachella is a month and a half away!!!<\/p>\n
So this job loss has Sex God deciding he needs to try looking for a job 2 hours away because the cost of living in Los Angeles in THIS job market is harsh.\u00a0 So I’m enjoying seeing him while I can!<\/p>\n
February was also Sex God & my 4 year anniversary. \ud83d\ude00\u00a0 He celebrated a combo anniversary & valentines day present with tickets to see a wonderful band Phantogram at the Ventura theater.\u00a0 Bought before he lost his job, of course.\u00a0 I drove & it was the huge downhill on the way there when my little Corolla shifted into low gear automatically & stayed there.\u00a0 It happened after I applied the brakes & made me realize I needed to get it into the shop!\u00a0 I have to wait until March when I get paid, but I think the training of Luke on how to drive has really done a number on my brakes (he’s doing great behind the wheel by the way).\u00a0\u00a0 But the concert was fabulous and I tried a Fireball shot.\u00a0 Yummy!!<\/p>\n
March will be just as insane, judging from my calendar!\u00a0 Hopefully there will be more fun, sexual adventures and less, broken arms & neurology appointments!<\/p>\n

Wow….\u00a0 what a crazy month!\u00a0 So crazy… let’s do a wrap up! Start with Luke.\u00a0 Months ago I noticed his drooping eyelid.\u00a0 Just one eye, but he’s on medication for his High Anxiety and I’m a mother, so I worried.\u00a0 … Continue reading
