"Is There a Doctor in the House?"

"Medical emergencies may occur at ay time, especially with young children. Prepare ahead of time by knowing exactly what you will do if it becomes necessary to get medical assistance quickly."

Let's just sum up this blog post.

AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SUCKS

I hate doctors and their offices and their bills.

This broken system we have is why "natural" remedies are becoming popular.

We choose something other than a professional to treat us because our insurance won't cover services or the doctor might just misdiagnose us and throw meds at us.

I'm sure this isn't everyone's experience.

It has been mine for years.

I had a good doctor once.

If you want good medical services it will cost you.

Remember when you could just go to a doctor?

Now you have to make an appointment months in advance.

If you need same day service, go to Urgent Care.

If you are experiencing an emergency, go to the hospital emergency room.

While you are there, sell a kidney because you will need the money to pay all those bills that will start coming in.

This past flu season was the worst!

There were many reported cases but those were the ones who went to the doctor for a diagnosis. Everyone else knew what they had and stayed home.

My toddler had the flu and the Tamiflu was going to be over $100.

That kid wont eat dinner!

How am I going to get him to take medicine?

I could just throw $100 out the window on my way home.

Sometimes I just want us to start over.

Let's get a real doctor in here to fix this situation.

What Would Doctor Who Do?

8 June 2018 - I Need a Vacation

"Wish You Were Here" "A new kind of vacation has become popular in recent years. Two families exchange homes for the vacation period - and both benefit." This is the premise of one of my favorite movies The Holiday In this 2006 movie, our main characters go onto a website called HomeExchange.com. They decide they want away from their tormented lives on Christmas so they vacation in each others homes for the Christmas Holiday. It's an adorable movie that ends all cuddly and romantically. Our Almanac suggests that if you wish to try this out you should join the Vacation Exchange Club! In the 1970's, this was a directory of people who were all part of this home exchange club. It featured homes around the world so you could swap homes with people from different backgrounds. This is also a chance for you to visit far off places and check off some countries from your bucket list. Home Exchange is still operating today. You ...

26 March 2018 - Guess Who's Back, Christ is Back, Tell a Friend

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post. This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion. Jesus would go on to be betraye...

1 January 2018 - Happy New Year!!

A couple years ago I started collecting interesting antique books. I love seeing a peek into the time period the book was written. Until the end of 2017 I was a stay at home mom. We moved across the country and a new chapter began for our family. This morning for the beginning of the new year I pick up my "Illustrated Almanac for Homemakers" book. This book was written in 1974. Just check out those bellbottoms. Originally sold for $9.95. I bought at Half Price Books for $7.00 I thought this book would be fun to flip through. Just see what homemakers were doing in the 1970's verses what I was doing or not doing. So for 2018 I thought it would be fun to see what I can accomplish this 365 days from this almanac even though I am no longer a full time homemaker. Lets begin in January! Each month has a super cute illustration featuring our homemaker heroine! It's the first day of the first year so let's peek at today's tas...
