Winding Creek Circle

Now that we are talking about going to the US, we always have had plans to migrate. It seems all our long-term plans are in the US, hence we arent even tied to anything here. We dont own a house, but I plan to buy one through the home loan program of the government by next year. It just seems such a waste of time to invest on something you will leave behind in one to three years. Anyways, if there are plans to migrate, of course, there are also plans as to where (which state) we will settle. As of this point, we are open - whoever actually has the best offer for my skills. We have relatives in California, Nevada, Chicago, Ohio and lately, a family or two has relocated to Colorado as they have acquired a sizeable chunk of Denver real estate that really is too good a deal to let go. They dont know anybody there so the move was a leap of faith. I honestly think they will survive though. We always do.

Back to house dreaming, I really prefer a house over a condo unit. I want a garden, a huge backyard for my kids to play in and space for party entertaining. I prefer the suburbs - I want a quiet neighborhood. I want to have a settled home by the time I reach 40. I want to give my kids that kind of security - something I never had as a child.

My son is going through the Ugly Duckling Stage right now. He is seven, has buck teeth, so many caries in his milk teeth and gaps and tooth fillings. The dentist we go to right now advised us that the only thing we can do right now is to really wait them out - meaning, all the milk teeth he has right now needs to fall and when everything is permanent, that is when the real work begins. It is a good thing he has a good jaw line so all his big teeth can fit in when he gets braces. Now, realistically, all this will happen in three years time, and by that time, God-willing, we will be in the US already. The cost for dental care there are frightening. However, a family friend who lives in Detroit recommends this Dentist Detroit in the Southfield Family Dental Center. All his kids are being taken cared of by their family dentist who works there and all of them have very nice teeth AND arent even scared to go to the dentist. (I think that is very important). I just checked their site and they offer free teeth whitening when you book a check-up. That’s very interesting.

Here I am talking about teeth when I even havent done anything to review for my NCLEX. *sigh*

..keeps the sickies at bay.

Did I manage to get the saying right?

Anyway, my sore throat has cracked to reveal a very nice case of the flu. The phlegm is still very dry and thick which complicates things (Pardon if Im sharing something gross). My daughter has it as well, and the husband and my eldest is developing symptoms. We were like dogs barking last night/

What do you do with things like this?
Well, honestly, I think I need to drink more water.
And in my case, I better get started on antibiotics already.
