Well it started off bad. Dakota woke up bawling this morning because he peed the bed. Our bed of course - because he sleeps with me when John's not home. He even had an overnight on but he peed so much... so I had to give him a bath which is hard to do when you're supposed to be taking care of 4 other kids. That made for a lot of laundry to do. Then a little later, Emily threw up. It wasn't a ton - but it smelled the house up. Dakota is really sensitive to smells so when he smelled it - he threw up his chocolate milk. Luckily, most of that landed on his socks so we just threw them away. Mikayla ended up getting bad diarrhea - the kind where baby wipes just aren't good enough - you have to resort to giving a bath. And to top the day off - John got a speeding ticket on the way to work tonight - it was over $100. And he complains about my driving, ha ha...
Also, starting the first of this month (this week) John has to start going to the gym. For those of you that don't know - he works at a hospital. Everyone at the hospital is supposed to have a bmi under a certain amount - and if not you have to work out at the gym 3 times a week or your health insurance raises an extra $100 a month. I think John was just a few pounds over the limit. It wouldn't be so bad if John could work out at any gym - but it has to be the one at the hospital - and we don't live in St. Joe. First of all, John doesn't feel like working out after being up all night. Secondly, if John works late that day then he can't go to the gym because he has to be home in time to take Dakota to school. And you can't miss a day of working out. John planned on going today but he had to work late - so I guess he will have to make an extra trip to St. Joe on Friday - his day 0ff - just to go to the gym for a half hour.

Man, sounds like u had a heck of a day. So much for trying to keep yourself mellow and nonstressed!
I absolutely hate the idea of insurance being higher just because of your BMI. Some people are just bigger and just because you're bigger doesn't mean you're not healthy. Poor guy....working all of the time and now has to work out on top of it!
