Got the Blues?

So Ben's cast is now Blue after his followup appointment with the Orthopedic surgeon. 25.00 fee for the blue fibreglass cast over the traditional plaster. I think this is criminal, as this fee is charged by London Hospital but not by the smaller hospitals such as Tillsonburg where we received Ben's original red cast. And yet all these smaller hospitals are all run by the London Health Science. Doesn't make any sense, the plaster cast shouldn't be even an option anymore. They are messy and very heavy. These new fibreglass casts are so lightweight and easy to apply.
Anyways we splurged I guess and got Ben a fancy blue color this time! Ben says to me today something incredibly smart, but shows how devious his little mind works "Hey Mom...I know a good way I can take my cast off, all I have to do is put it in water and then cut it off with scissors!"
So I am sure I will come home to find this brilliant plan in action one of these days, even though I threatened him with his life not to even think about it! LOL.

On that note, we got a reply from the Provincial Parks Superintendent today from Port Burwell in response to my letter requesting further compensation to our camping disaster! I figured it wouldn't hurt to send off a letter, and I feel vindicated! They are going to reimburse us our entire camping week expense! Even though that doesn't help Ben, it certainly makes me feel better about waisting my vacation time on such a horrible rainy, dirty camping experience.

Just as this week was getting off to a great start with Ben's new cast, and our response from the park we find on the hood of the car a parking ticket from the city for 30.00 bucks, for parking the car are the road facing the wrong way. Talk about being kicked while you are down. Perfect!

Anyways the last two evenings I have been interviewing for a new childcare provider. With such a short period to do it and so few applicants, I have been a little worried. However I think I found a young woman that feels right. Her name is Aly and she is 22. You know when you click with someone? Her personality is great and she relates really well to the children. After I check her references I will be calling her to start on the 24th. Monday...crazy.
