We Made IT!

Welp, we made it through the first day of High school & preschool. Jessie started high school yesterday! I can't believe it! And Jake had his first official day of preschool. He has had preschool before but this is at his "new" school. He does really good and is more interactive with the teachers and kids then he was with his other school. Jessie is a little bummed because she doesn't have her normal friends she use to eat lunch with last year in her lunch this year. And herfriends are not in too many of her classes. Both yesterday and today she has come home stressed and worn out. I'm sure after a few weeks she will get the hang of things.

Pete still does not know what is going on with his job. I feel bad because I know he is tried of sitting at home. It is frustrating for him. Hopefully we will hear something soon....but then again, we have thought that before!

I hope she's not sick...

Well, my daughter starts school next week. Of course she hasn't had strep in over a year. When she does get it, it knocks her out and we somtimes end up in the ER. Well, over the weekend she started not feeling good and her throat was hurting. Therefore, she has an appointment today at the doctors. I hope they give us antibiotic so we can nipp whatever this is before next week.

Tonight is orientation for 9th grade! So sick or not, we will be going so she can see where her classes are and we can learn high school rules. lol

My son started a new school last week. He will go three days a week until my husband is back to work. He really enjoys it. He is making friends and actually talking and playing with the teachers and other kids.

Well....lunch is over. Guess I will get back to work.

Stressed

I have to confront some fellow employees today....I am really nervous. These girls can be vicious!! Oh well....It is time for me to stand up and not be a follower. If they think I'm a bitch well then so be it!

Wish me luck!!

The end of a LONG week

Well last week was fair week. We weren't too busy, but boy did it seem like a long week at work! They are talking about having options of 4 10hour days...I dont know if I could stand to be there for 10 hours a day! But then like today, I was late coming in and had a meeting in the afternoon and could of stayed longer to finish up stuff. Actually working 10 hour days wouldn't work because the mornings are too hectic for us. I'm sure we could make it work, if we had too.

The kids are doing good. My daughter is suppose to be reading the last book she needs to for the summer break, To Kill A Mockingbird. I never read it, so I can't really help her on it. She just has to answer questions as she reads the book. It is due the first day school goes back. I think she is getting anxious for school to be back in. I also, think that she has a little crush on a certain boy! :o) She won't admit it though! lol

My son is doing good. Him and daddy being home together is starting to get to both of them. I think we are going to see about putting him back in day care for a few days a week. Besides preschool will be starting soon.

My husband thought he would be back to work by now, but that isn't happening. So, hopefully he will be back by the end of August. That is what he heard today anyway...that is the hope. Hopefully with our son going to school a few days a week will give him a whole day to work on stuff here at home. He has been able to accomplish some things.

I would like to see the downstairs bathroom toliot fixed, and the upstairs bathroom re-done. Along with the basement cleaned up and MY craft area set up. Maybe we can spend our winter down there.

We are hoping to get the house fixed up so we can possible put it on the market next year...again all depends on my husbands job. We are not sure if we want to live in a devlopment or get some acreage.

I've been doing okay...work has been getting to me. The girl that does my job with me, is going to go part time, then my cousin who is an underwriter will be going part time. They are going to job share. My cousin is actually getting a demotion/pay cut to come down to my level job. But that is what she thinks is best when she comes back from maternity leave.

Gotta get little one to bed!
