What the what?


So, what are you looking at exactly?  Take a minute...take a guess.

We are asked to do many things here that strike me as odd.  But, being that I am the foreigner and all the locals are doing it, I just shrug and go along.  Here is one example that I am still laughing about.

Elementary aged school children were asked to provide urine samples a while back.  I never knew what they were for, some health test, so I ponied up the pee.  Neither child wash thrilled to be taking little tubes of pee to school but they did it.  Not too long later Jaxon brought home a test kit that I was to administer and send back to school.  There were two steps.  Step one, not pictured, was to collect a stool sample.  Step two can be seen above.  Personally, I like the wings on the little child's back as he squats holding his butt cheeks open.

We were given a piece of cellophane like material that was folded in fours.  We had to open it up, press it on to the inside of Jaxon's cheeks (inside, all the way, circling the rim...), and send it back in.  Jaxon was MORTIFIED!  I think that it was made worse by the fact that I was laughing the whole time I was trying to pry his tightly clenched butt cheeks apart to get a swipe.

Poor Jaxon.  He gave a valiant effort to get out of the test.  He brought the kit home to me, only to "lose" it once he realized what he would have to do.  One call to the teacher and she was at our door with a new pooper-scooper and wipey thing.  

I'm still not sure what the tests and samples were for...since I have heard nothing I am assuming all that comes out of my little man's butt is well.

Surgery

I started my period when I was 11 years old.  I remember going to the nurses office at school that day because my lower back hurt so badly.  It felt like nothing I had ever felt before, but was a feeling I would become quite familiar with.  Imagine there being a bowling ball inside your body, resting on your tail bone.  It causes pressure just sitting there.  That was a good day.  The bad days were when that bowling ball was being ground into my back - from the inside trying to find a way out.  Later, when laboring with Lily, that same feeling was there.  Lily was upside down and her head was resting on my tailbone.  The contractions that drove it deeper into the bone were killers.  So all those years of imagining my inner bowling ball were not that far off! In those first few years of cycling I would often seek out the hardest surface I could find and just lay on it, trying to flatten my back into it.  Our living room floor usual...

$$Tokyo$$

If you google the most expensive cities to live in worldwide you'll find Tokyo somewhere in the top 10.  I looked at a few last night and Tokyo was actually in the top 3 on 5 of the lists.  Now, one list claimed that you'd have to shell out $5,000 to get a 2 bedroom apartment in Tokyo.  I'm sure there are plenty of such apartments, but there are also less expensive ones so you can't believe everything you read. But, it is true.  Living here is very expensive.  We rent an 860 ft2 apartment for approximately $1100 a month.  If we want to rent a parking space that is another $115 a month.  Our utilities, including internet but with no cable, are over $400 a month.  All that for utilities and our apartment does not even have central air or heat!  Groceries, gas, train tickets, they all add up too of course.  Groceries vary in price from store to store and season to season, but it is not uncommon to see 4 apples for $6 or a quart of milk fo...

Parenting is not for the Timid - This is my Biggest and Worst

Parenting brings obstacles and challenges like none that we've ever dealt with before.  My first was when my son was born.  He was the most difficult baby I'd ever come across, and I got to be with him all the time .  I remember how defeated and discouraged I was, and how I thought to myself, "I can't do this.  I can't parent this child, make him happy, stay sane.  I don't even want to".  I didn't know how I was going to get through his infancy and this obstacle felt like the greatest obstacle of my life. We got through it, I got through it.  Time passed and allowed me to forget the depth of the struggle so that when the next challenge arose, that one felt like a new biggest and worst.  The new challenge was now the thing that was going to end all civilized thought in my head.  Again, we got through.  Time and again, challenges, the biggest and worst, have arisen.  Each time I have thought, "How? What am I supposed to do with this...
