So a bit has happened since my last post. Our car was written off :-( But the good news was they gave us almost $5,000 more than we were expecting! I swear our insurance company is soo mean.....I was soo fed up with our crappy rental car that I phoned "Brad" our adjuster to find out about our car since it had almost been 3 weeks. I left a rather whinny message and he phoned back the next day while I was in the shower saying they had an answer, blah blah. So i tried for the rest of the day to reach him and nothing. Frustrated Jason played phone tag with his supervisor on Friday and finally got through around 3pm. They told Jason we had to have the rental back by Monday....ummmmm thanks 3 days to find a new car. BLAH.
A week or so previous we had decided we wanted a Jetta (see previous post) and found one a local dealership. So we went over Saturday to test drive and loved it! So we bought it! Picked up on Monday!!! It's a 2002 VW Jetta GLS TDI! I'm sooo excited about the diesel, 1000km to a tank...ummmm YES PLEASE!!!!! I'm soo happy the stupid thing is over. A lot of bumps along the way but it's DONE!!!!!
Hmmmm Lindsay has not started crawling yet. I brought the subject up with our doctor and he was a bit concerned because she was late to sit as well. So we have an appointment with a pedi next Friday, should be interesting to see what he says. Also poor Lindsay had a cold that would just not go away. She was up a couple nights coughing the whole night. So I took her in and she's on her first antibiotics. She seems to enjoy the flavour......but the doctor noticed she has a lazy eye, so we've been referred to an infant optomologist at the children's hospital. We don't an appt yet, but should soon. Pooor kid. I had noticed the lazy eye...she'll probably either have to wear a patch or glasses. But it's better to have it fixed now while she's young than later.
She's learned how to cheer, it's soo cute! I'll clap and say yahhhh and she'll wave her hands around and say "ahhhhhh" SUPER CUTE!!! if my camera wasn't broken i'd take a video (still awaiting my new one....) But she's such a pleasure, she's such a character!
Off to Victoria for the long weekend! Should be fun! Lindsay's second plane ride!!! This time on Westjet w/ TVs!!!
All for now.....

ha ha I just realized my last post was on 6-6-6 NOT that I believe in that crap...but still pretty funny.

Well well well guess who's 10 months old today?!?!?! YEP! 10 months ago today Lindsay was born!!!!!! She's just getting over a cold, which just added to the previous issues....she's doing much better now.

Heard about the car, the body shop believes over $10,000 in repairs, the insurance company is sending someone out to determine whether that is correct, how much the car is worth and whether they will write it off. Our claims guy said it will probably be written off.....FUN! We're thinking of buying a Jetta (yes Jen I know you're mad now....) but we'll see what happens this week.

Parents were in town over the weekend, that was fun. Did some shopping and Jason and I went for dinnr without Lindsay which was nice!! She's just a handful when we go out for dinner now.

Jason's in physio, no word on his x-rays yet. He has an appointment tomorrow. FUN! I'm heading with him.

My camera has died a horrible dealth....I've given up. It likes to turn on and off whenever it feels like it. I guess kiddie pools and camera's don't mix. LOL. Bought the same camera on ebay yesterday. Was $200 cheaper than when I bought it one year ago, crazy how that works. It's an awesome camera, top rated by consumer reports, but canon no longer makes it. I'll hang onto the old one. Not sure what to do with it just yet.....

Signing off....not much else is new

June 6

Alrightly, what's new. I'm saying in advance this will be a long one........so just over a week ago, Jason was working on a fence job and threw out his back. We went to the urgent care late Sunday night, with lindsay in tow...who by the way was awesome. she didn't cry or fuss considering we were there till 1:30am......well they couldn't do anything for Jason who was in soo much pain. They gave him a shot of something that did NOTHING, he couldn't sleep b/c of the pain, i eventually gave him some gravol so he would sleep. He stayed home Monday from work, went to the doctor on Wednesday who sent him for x-rays, he was doing much better by thursday....WHEN....

He was in a car accident!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was attempting to turn left, when a car went around another car turning left and smacked into our poor Honda Civic. Jason was okay at the scene. I had to leave Lindsay with a neightbour as the car was not drivable. I'm wishing I took pictures because the car was a mess! So the police had the car towed to the body shop, where it now sits awaiting decision from the insurance company whether to fix it or write it off.

So Saturday Jason's knee starts to really hurt, he didn't sleep well and was in a lot of pain Sunday. So we went to the walk in clinic. The doctor feels he jammed his leg into the dash, so gave him some pain killers and more x-rays. He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I hope all is okay. Needless to say it's been a stressful week.

Worst part is Lindsay has been waking every hour during the night for the past week. Jason's no help b/c of his condition and I don't think I've ever been soo tired. Not sure if she's teething or what. She seems to have a bit of a cold. Poor kid. I feel sorry for my parents who are coming for a visit tomorrow....

What a week.
