How Do They Just Know?

How is it that children have this sixth sense for what is dangerous?  So Finley (the one year old) decides she is going to take my fork off my plate that is on my bedside table and crawl around with it.  It takes her all of like two minutes to head over to the fan and begin to try and stick the fork into the fan blades.  I am sitting on the bed watching this unfold, thinking if I take it away from her she is just going to scream at me, so I decide to watch her for a few seconds.  I tell her no and she looks at me and proceeds to stick the fork all the way into the fan, it makes a loud noise and does the obvious.  This being said, allowing her to do it was the way to go because she quickly lost interest and the fun was over.  It's like kids sticking bobbypins into a light socket.  How is it they just know to do the worst possible thing for their wellbeing?

Jersey was walking around yesterday with the hand strap part of the dog's leash around her doll's neck walking/dragging it saying "come on dollypuppy, let's go for a walk."  I'm thinking this poor "dollypuppy" did not sign up for this at all!!  It makes me think of the toys in the movie Toy Story, when the bad kid is "abusing" the toys. None of the poor dolls want to be "those" kid's toys.  Lord please don't let the dolls be saying that about mine! ha ha  If dolls could talk what would they say?! That didn't last long before she decided that Pax should pretend to be a dog and she would lead him around with the lease (luckily the hand opening wasn't big enough to get around his neck, but she did try!).  As she leads him around the house with him holding the leash in his hand, he pretends to bark with a not so convincing "ruff ruff."  All I could do was laugh, until I overheard her tell him to get on his knees because she was going to give him a bowl of water.  That's when I had to speak up and inform her that the leash walking was a far as the doggie game was going to go! It just so funny that he is always onboard with whatever cockamamey idea she comes up with!  Unfortunately they do a lot of wrapping of the wrists and neck and I have to put an end to those games before someone gets choked to death.  Again, I feel these games may be a source of therapy later in life! ha ha

So I was informed by my insurance company the other day that they are approving the Mirena (IUD birth control) that I was hoping to get.  Our insurance coverage with this new company my husband works for has been notoriously bad.  We have had to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket over the last year and a half so you can imagine my surprise when the girl tells me that copay for the almost $900 device is going to be $50.  She said she was even surprised.  I can only surmise that they reviewed my file and my three pregnancies in as many years and said, "This b!+@# needs to quit having babies, she's costing us a fortune!"  Well played United Healthcare, well played!  So I am more than thrilled to be getting a Mirena in the next few weeks.  I am hoping that it will help with these hormonal issues I am dealing with.  I am positive my husband is hoping it will help, he read the whole pamphlet last night. ha ha  Nevermind the fact that if I got pregnant again I think I might lose what little sanity I have left!! And surely my body would just implode or something.

Well I think I have unloaded enough for one blog right now.  Until my mind fills up and I need to get some more out later.....
