A Young Wife’s Tale

One of the things you should know about me and my family is that we eat a LOT of fiber. As in, we have to be careful not to consume too much.

Brother #3 was up late recently. He didn’t want to wake anyone else up as he made a midnight snack, so he helped himself to a bowl of cereal without turning on the lights to find out what kind of cereal he was munching on. The cereal was so good that he ate another bowl. Keep in mind Brother #3 eats broccoli every single day. The next morning he woke up with a stomach ache and spent more time in the bathroom at work than his co-worker with a UTI!

Yes, Brother #3 had two huge bowls of Fiber One Cereal. It really does taste that good! My favorite is the Honey Clusters, and I like to sprinkle the Original Bran Cereal over my yogurt like granola. Fiber One’s Raisin Bran Clusters are yummy, too! Just be careful not to eat too much.

*Further evidence I’m a pessimist: I’m scared to death we’ll be stuck in Jersey forever. I told David, and then my mother and brother that if I die in this miserable state, they’d better take my remains back to Texas. I told them I’d come back to haunt them if they left me in New Jersey.

*I tried to make our October COBRA payment online, but the website would only let me pay for October & November. I called customer service and received no help. They wouldn’t let me pay by phone. I was told to send them a check if I wanted to pay for one month at a time. That means another 7-10 days of waiting for them to show us as active, which means another 7-10 days of no scripts or doctors’ appointments.

Brother #3 is back in Dallas. We had a great time while he was here. We decided that Pat’s on 9th Street in Philly really is the “King of Steaks”. David had someone to play video games with, and we all got to try “water ice” which is kind of like a slush.

We could have spent two days there. The museum had so many interesting things to see. We didn’t get to spend nearly enough time there. I had to get back to pick David up from work.

Brother #3 and I went to Philadelphia today. Here we are at Independence Hall.
