Month: December 2011

  • Fred broke his arm on December 4th, so the past 3 weeks have been a lot of sleeping, and pain and struggle and MD appointments.

    December 20th he had surgery to repair the break, he stayed 2 nights in the hospital and came home on Thursday the 22nd.

    God has provided that we’ve been fed and everything.  SO Thankful for that!

    Lydia got a pink vtech mobigo and case along with 2 games from my parents, and a tricycle too.  (it was out of stock, so it will be here a little later)

    My sister (who works for Disney) sent her a giant Minnie Mouse Doll, a Minnie Mouse Nightgown, 2 Minnie t-shirts, and Minnie crayons and coloring book.  (Since our first visit to South FL, Lydia has been obsessed with Minnie Mouse)

    She also got a new baby doll and a Sesame Street Book and stuffed Border Collie.

    Fred goes back to the MD on Thursday, hopefully we’ll have some good news.  His boss has been INCREDIBLE in this whole situation!

  • so….

    We moved to West Palm Beach, FL on November 21. (It is 81 degrees today.  ick)

    December 4th, Fred fell and broke his humerus.

    He’d only been at his job 2 weeks.  No insurance, no money.  YAY!

    He had surgery to repair it on the 20th. 

    He was in the hospital for 2 nights. 

    He got home today.

    His new Boss has been SUPER INCREDIBLY UNDERSTANDING.

    The nerve was completely trapped inside the fracture so he has a significant amount of pain. 

    Yet again, Lydia’s potty training has been put on the back burner.  I feel bad that she is almost 3 and not completely potty trained yet.

    Christmas here will be super low key.  But that’s all good.  Lydia will get a new baby doll and a mobigo, and THIS hopefully!

    Can’t wait for him to recuperate and get back to work!

    The church we found when we got here, the pastor announced after our second week there, that he was moving to West Virginia on January 2nd!  They voted another pastor in, but Fred and I both got a very weird vibe from him. 

  • Jingit

    So, it’s no secret I love earning/winning free stuff.  (who doesn’t) for the past month or so I’ve been using Jingit.  You watch ads and earn money.  Any where from 5 cents to $1.35 I’ve earned!  Once you’ve earned $2 you can request a Jingit Card (a prepaid Visa card, backed by US Bank)  When you receive it and activate it, you can load your earnings on it and spend it anywhere. 

    You need to sign up through facebook, and you need to have a cell phone to receive 1 text message to confirm your identity.  I’ve used my Jingit card in many places and have not had a probl;em with it at all.  Would you like an invite?  Even if you don’t want to use it, signing up will help me out.  Let me know!
