Alright, so when it was the last time you needed to go to the doctor, but you put it off because you're too busy or the kids got in the way or maybe you saw something on social media and decided to go that route. I have to admit, I do that a lot. I will make an appointment, something comes up with the kids. I always say, I'll have an appointment and the kids get sick and then I have to cancel at last minute or I just hold it off for myself appointments and then I won't make them for like five months later. Yeah. And you know what else you do? You ask people in group chats who the best doctor is instead of finding out who the best doctor is. Hey, everybody, no good OGB. Why am? That's you. You get all your advice from group chats instead of doing research and going to an actual doctor. Yeah, I do and I need to get better about it because actually, I used your, I'm in a group chat with your coworker and she gave it advice to me. Well, get out of that group chat and that's for everybody at home and start finding a real doctor that actually works. And Zockdock can help you find a wonderful doctor and it does a research for you and you can just get online and find a doctor that fits you. That's right. Zockdock is a free app and website where you can search just like Jordan said and compare high quality in network doctors and click to instantly book an appointment.

Zach dot dot com slash together mess. Hey, media group. Why wouldn't they walk around in their bathing suit at a water park? I don't know, walking around to the different slides, I have to have shorts on. I know what you do when you get on the slide. I keep my shorts on and my shorts will get wet and my neighbor does the same thing. We showed up in the same outfit. Are you the kid who wears his T shirt in a pool? Oh. Oh. Hey, guys, episode 166. It was a good day today because the kids had a wonderful first day of school yesterday. Yes. And I cried again because I'm emotional. The school was packed and we were not late, but we weren't at the time I normally want to get there. And they normally lay red carpet out and they have the doors open. And they always ease the kindergartners in. So the kindergarten teachers, the first week of school are always there in the hallway, like cheering on the kids as they're walking in because the kindergartners do half days and so I saw Lawson and Layton's teacher and some of the other teachers and I just got very emotional and started crying and Lawson told me I was embarrassing for crying and they just all look so cute and all the parents are happy and it's just a new year. You know, you've had them all summer and I kept saying the past two weeks. Oh, I can't wait till they go back to school. And then as soon as I drop them off, I'm crying because then I felt guilty for some reason. It's so weird. It's just like when you get burned out as a parent and you're like, I need a vacation. And then you go on the vacation and then you feel guilty for being on the vacation without your kids.

4:28.4

Oh yeah.

4:29.4

It's never, it's just. and you're like, I need a vacation. And then you go on the vacation, and then you feel guilty for being on the vacation

4:27.0

without your kids.

4:28.0

Oh, yeah.

4:28.6

It's never, it's just like a never ending cycle. And then today, drop it them off at school. I got all like, Tariya, I don't know why. Because I think they're getting bigger. And you're like, I know they're only first and third grade, But I mean, you take those pictures every year, you know, on our front steps and they're

4:44.7

just getting bigger.

4:45.7

So it's like, I don't know, it's just the time goes fast.

4:48.8

They don't have their little lunch boxes anymore and they just dash out of the car. But these are things that I said when I was had them in the baby carrier and I was exhausted and I was like, I can't wait till they get to that age and they just jump out of the car because I'm tired of carrying this baby carrier. And then now, um, it just, I don't know. It's just kind of hitting me. And I think everything going on and makes you appreciate things that and look at things a different way. Yeah. I think me and you are both on like, uh, not, not suicide watch, but we need a therapist for sure. both of you, because our emotions, both of us are out of control. And it's, you know, I think we're both dealing with something that we've never dealt with before, you know? So then like you throw in just something as simple as kids going back to school and it hits you in a different way. Yeah. So life, at least for me, is different now, you know? I'm starting to find my way with the way things are moving forward. And I know we have to. You know. Well, not not bringing this in and I hate bringing it up. But it's part of what we're going through. And so I think that's why things are hitting us a little different. You know, I'm sure the holidays are going to be different. You know, I'm sure things are going to be different. We got to get used to the new normal. I hate that word. And I always I always had a routine how I sent my mom the pictures. I said my dad the pictures. Then I send Jeff's mom the pictures because I know she would show your dad. And then I would say my grandparents the photos. Yeah. And then this year I sent them to your dad. Oh, I sent it to my dad. I knew you were going to But I just always sent him to Jeff's mom because Jeff was always working and then she would write me back Which I know you always would send them to her anyways. Yeah, but I just always would do that and that was like my routine And then I thought about that to let me say I was just it like made me sad and I was like, oh, I mean, your dad's great. No, I know.

6:45.6

He knows of course.

6:46.6

Yeah, he knows of course. It made me like your mom always would write something back and yeah. Yeah, I know. I don't want to go down there. I don't want to go down there. Well, man, I totally forgot what I was going to say. That's another thing. I'm kind of like still in a fall. Like my memories a little like all. I feel like I can't think.

7:05.6

I feel like I'm just blah. I just feel like I'm just depressed. And because your mom felt, you know, I felt close with your mom like how I do my mom, you know, and that's why I know some people aren't that close with their in-laws. They get annoyed with them, but with your mom I had a different relationship with like that. that hits us. But anyways, we are going to, because they'll start crying, we're going

7:29.3

to the mountains. Yeah, but oh, getting real quick, I remember what I always said about school. This was the first day I wasn't there for the first day of school, because usually I could get off a work. That made me sad. Yeah, and this time, yesterday, my co-hosts, and I could have, if I wanted to,

7:45.1

but my co-host had something to do,

7:46.7

and I've been taking a lot of time off

7:48.0

and Denise plants amazing.

7:50.1

So I've been taking a lot of time off and she got my back, and then she had to do something yesterday. So I was the only host, so I had to fill in, so I couldn't do the first day of school. If it was like first day, kindergarten or first day of like some high school or a bigger one,

8:03.8

I would have asked off, but I got the pictures.

8:07.7

It was cute.

8:08.7

And then I was at my desk while I saw like the ring. So I saw all the kids like in the neighborhood you taking all those pictures. So that was, I didn't get to go personally, but it was nice that you did that. The sprinklers cut on when I was taking the photos. Yeah, what's up with that? Yeah, we got to look into it because you said they come on earlier.

8:26.0

They come on, I definitely know they come on at like 515 in the morning because that's what I'm in the shower and in the water pressure goals. Well, this was 730 in the morning. Okay, but that's, but then when I leave the drive, he's already wet and I leave at like 630. So they might, I don't know if they're doing double time or if I programmed it wrong,

8:45.0

because I pro, I don't know what's going on.
