Me: so I was at the Dr.’s yesterday with 3 of 4 for his physical….and the Dr. was asking about how much and what kind of milk he drinks. 3 of 4 admitted to drinking milk everyday, but did not volunteer that it was more often chocolate milk and he has it with cheez-its… I decided not to mention it, either…
The Dr. asked me what kind of milk, and I explained that we’ve always had skim milk once the kids were past toddler stage, but that recently we had switched to 2% organic because everyone likes it so much better. She chided me a little and told me to do no more than 1% for good cholesterol…
The Captain: She’s still talking about our 10 year old boy, right??
(looking incredulous)
Me: Yes, our 10 year old boy whom she just reported to be in the 50 percentile for weight…
The Captain: I’m betting you didn’t tell her then about the raw whole milk we’ve been drinking.
Me: um no, and I was praying the boy would not rat me out, either.
Me: and then I had to explain to her why I wouldn’t give my son 4 vaccines on the same day- which, because some were combined would have actually been 8 vaccines.

Sometimes I have to pray I don’t get ratted out too! We’re still drinking whole organic. I keep meaning to go to 2 percent, but I just can’t make myself.
Please let me know if you figure out how to get that hazard pay!
Sounds like a new dr is in order. They work for me, not the other way around! Of course I’m one who just always tells a dr how it is and if they don’t like it, tough luck. We delay and spread our vaccinations out and dont’ care if they like that either!
Enjoying your blog from one sort of anti-planning homeschooling mom to another!
