This is very interesting! It is a salary calculator so all you have to do is click on the link and type in your job, city and state and it tells you what you should be making. Then it will also give you a average salary, high salary and low salary. From what I typed in it seems acurate but you tell me what you think!

Mountain Dew

The other night Jon and I were watching TV and Trevor was playing trucks before it was time to go to bed. We were not really paying that close of attention to him but we should of because no more then 20 minutes later he was running around in circles and then jumping up and down on the couch. I asked him if he was getting tired and if he was ready for bed his response was "I like mountain dew". I looked on the end table and sure enough he had drank Jon's pop. He was wired!! As soon as I could get the camera to video him he of course would not do anything but then I finally got a little footage of what the little bean was up too. NOTE to parents: never leave a can of pop unattended.



Also I wanted to give you all an update on Jon. The prescription he recieved from the doctor started to work but then he got a reaction from it so he had to stop taking it. So he is home today resting and is going back to doctor to see if there is anything else he can try. Our poor little bean, I feel bad for him.

Gout

Alright so those of you who know Jon know that he never complains about anything unless it is really bad. For example we have been together for many years and I have only had to take him to the hospital once and that was for a kidney stone. So Sunday he started complaining that his big toe was hurting him and I just laughed and said quit wining you probably just stubbed it.....he laughed and said yeah you are probably right.

So as the night went on he said you know that is really hurting do you think I might of done something to it. My response was "no" we have not done anything all weekend but sit here. So Sunday night he could not sleep because it hurt and he woke up and iced this foot and said it felt better. So yesterday morning he said it was still hurting so I talked him into going to the doctor to get it checked out, he agreed....this never happens so I knew something was wrong.

After a trip to the doctor he found out that he may have "gout" in his big toe. For those of you who have never heard of it well here you go:

What is gout?
Gout is condition that results from crystals of uric acid depositing in tissues of the body. Gout is characterized by an overload of uric acid in the body and recurring attacks of joint inflammation (arthritis). Chronic gout can lead to deposits of hard lumps of uric acid in and around the joints, decreased kidney function, and kidney stones. Gouty arthritis is usually an extremely painful attack with a rapid onset of joint inflammation.

The doctor gave him a perscription to help move the acid and to releave some pressure. His toe looks really funny because there is a big bump on the side of it as you will see in the picture.

Snow & Movies

Well two words to sum up our weekend are snow (7 inches) and movies. Since we got our first storm of the season we took advantage and played outside and when we were not outside we were watching movies.

Saturday Trevor was hilarious he would say "look mommy it is knowing out" and then he would beg for hours to go outside. We wanted to wait until the worst was over otherwise it would be cold and miserable. So finally we just gave in and outside we went. He had a great time!!! He at first did not even know what to do he just stood there. Then he would run and fall down and laugh his heart out. We sort of have a small hill in our backyard and he thought that was the best ever because he would get a running start and then roll down the hill. I took lots of pictures so grandma Dottie should be proud.

Have a good week!
