Better Day Today Than Yesterday

Yesterday was one of those weird off days were things don't go just right, but they aren't really horribly wrong either.

So I tried to re-up Olivia's WIC. Since she is on regular formula instead of the specialty formula now, I had to get a "doctor's note"  in order for WIC to approve her getting regular formula. I can understand needing a note for the more expensive specialty formula. But it seems a bit over the top to need one to go from the more expensive to the the cheaper regular formula thus saving money. Gotta love bureaucratic tape. Thank goodness Vanderbilt has this wonderful MyHealth website that I can log into and send a message directly to her doctors without having to call. I was able to leave a message for them to fax the note to the health department and today I got a call from the health department saying the fax was there. Yay! Oh, and btw even though she is on regular formula it is still a high calorie mixture. That means we don't mix it like the instructions on the canister. We mix more powder to water than the 'normal' way.

Then after all that yesterday, I was trying to get the older to two to pack up for girl scout camp next week. At some point they started fighting. Apparently Ellie bit Alexis without drawing blood then Alexis bit back drawing blood. I think they both knew that they would be in trouble if I found out, because I only found out after I asked Ellie what was wrong after I heard her crying in the bathroom. I was soooo mad at both of them for treating each other this way. I felt like I had 2 two year olds instead of a 9 and 12 year old. Ugh!

Plus Mike had a not so good day yesterday so he was grumpy and moody. Not his usual self at all.

Soooo glad today was been fairly drama free. Whew!
