they never cease to amaze me. my daughter came home 2 months ago with a failing report card. apparently she got an F for not turning in an art report. today 2 months later she still has not turned it in. she has no clue as to why she is still grounded but the report is still not done. when asked why, she says she will do it when she has time. um, what has she been doing for the past 2 months, EVERYTHING but the report.... oh i am so frustrated right now!

i hate doctors. all of them. why do they make things so damn difficult. i have had a back problem for years. it comes and goes but when it comes its REALLY bad. there is a specific medication that i take called indocin. it is the only thing that will relieve the pain. it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that basically reduce the inflammation in my back. it is not a mucle relaxer like vicodin or anything like that. it doesn't make you feel great and doesn't cause addiction but my doctor refuses to give it to me unless i come in to see him.

i was diagonosed with this problem 3 years ago in which the doctor told me was going to be a life long thing. luckily i haven't had a problem with it for over a year and a half so i have completely run out of the meds. i called yesterday so he could fill it and he has one of his nurses call me to tell me that he can not give me the prescription unless i come into see him. i ask if i could please see him today since i am in some of the most terrible pain i have ever been in. she says no he's not in today but if i am in that much pain then i need to come to urgent care. great so i can sit with a bunch of people that are all sick for 2 hours to wait for some dumbass doctor say oh ok here is your prescription. i can understand if the meds were for something like vicodin or something but come on, this is completely ridiculous!

over mother's day weekend the family including my mother took a road trip up to san francisco. vicky was having a bridging ceremony where her troop was walking over the goldengate bridge. the trip was a lot of fun, we did the whole tourist thing with all the kids. they thoroughly enjoyed it. the drive up wasn't bad at all took us just over 6 hours to get there. the drive back was a little worse but still not as bad as i thought it was going to be. all the kids had their dvd players so it couldn't have been nicer. as the kids are getting older i think it will be nicer to take trips like this. i think the next trip will be to the grand canyon later this summer. here are the rest of the pictures from the trip.
