I barely remember Saturday we have been so busy. I know that my friend Leigh brought her son over for me to babysit for a couple of hours. He is just the cutest thing and the kids had a blast playing with him. Then we went to Babies R Us and were home for lunch. I think that was all we did that day however. It has gotten so hot here, we don't want to go anywhere or do anything if we don't have too.
On Sunday we had new house things to take care of. My friend Charlene called to see if I wanted to bring the kids swimming. I told her we were busy but if she wanted to take them swimming I would let her. Lucky for me she accepted and we all won. The kids had fun while James, J2 and I had a relatively quiet afternoon. We even got to check out a mexican restaurant by the new house which has fantastic margariras and really good food. I am thrilled to have a good mexican food restaurant so close to the house.
Monday was definitely the longest day. Got up about 4 in order to get work done and at nine the whole family, including James' mom, headed out towards the house. We went to check out a preschool for J1 and we should have just walked out the second we walked in, but I am too nice. The place stunk and it just felt dirty. Came to find out it was the chicken for lunchtimes chicken spaghetti. Not a pleasing smell.
We left there and had time before out 11am appt at the house so I mentioned that I had just received an email from another facility we should go check out. We headed over there and we were really impressed. It was clean, bright, open and quiet, and it had a huge playground. The seemed to offer everything educationally wise that we were looking for as well. When we were leaving we could smell lunch cooking and it made us hungry. Definitely a better smell. We decided to place J1 there for one year at least and hope that his speech will improve...and his attitude! He will start the same day the kids start at their new school which we discovered is only about 2 blocks away from the pre-school. I will just take them all to school in the morning and then the older kids can ride the bus home. Once they are done with homework we will go get J1 and they can all play together. I am really looking forward to this arrangement.
We then had our home walkthrough and we probably drove the guy crazy with all the little things we found that he needs to fix. Oh well. We are paying enough money for the house, everything will be perfect when we move in. Then we returned some fans we discovered were crap at Home Depot, dropped the older kid and James' mom off at the house and ran to Costco to buy new fans and some energy efficient bulbs. On Saturday James has big projects to accomplish. LOL
Came home last night, worked some more and have been working all day today. Later I need to pick up the keys for my father's storage unit and go look for bulbs in sizes that Costco did not carry. Plus I got my new computer! My reward for everything will be playing on it later when I am all done. I am very excited. Whoo hoo!! Hopefully the kids will cooperate and behave.
