Natalie & her knees  by Tinab
Well, I took Nat to the orthopedic surgeon today. She took an x-ray of Nat's hips since her hips and knees have been hurting for a while. Her x-ray came back just fine. She is scheduled for an MRI tomorrow. We'll get the results next Tuesday. Although I want something to show up, I also do not. If nothing shows up, she'll have to start therapy. If something shows up, we'll know what we're dealing with. Kinda odd for a teenage girl to have such pain for no reason.  (more)

Don't get me wrong, I often feel like he doesn't support me at all - no real help around the house, tough on the kids unless he's mr. fun, projects are all me...but at the same time, he does put the roof over our heads and (more)
