Sam’s school had their, oh so cute, kindergarten program last night.
A few things I’ve learned I need for next time…
- tell family earlier than four hours before
- get there 15 minutes earlier than they tell the parents to have the kids there.
- baby sling
- camera tripod
- get my son to carry a handkerchief (an every day thing)
she’s trying her best to look away and not show me her pigtails…
“i don’t like it picture” (and yet, anytime she picks up anything she says “mommy, say cheese! - click”)
he was up early watching cartoons. she’s teething and had been running a fever. she toddled in there shortly after he did…
they really do love each other.
Have I mentioned lately how proud I am of my husband!!!
Yesterday PD was told that he was the “student support person.” When he sent me the message I thought, well…yeah.. it’s what you do and asked if that was a good thing? Later he began to realize and told me, that it’s basically paraprofessional of the year for his school. I remember seeing a sign outside of Sam’s school a couple of weeks ago for Student Support Person. How cool is this! The principal told him that it was unanimous! We think that the teachers voted. They asked for his new address, not sure why? And the principal said the ladies in the office would coax him though an interview… he’s kind of nervous now, but very excited.
I really believe that the man is finally in his element.
I can’t wait to see what he does as a teacher.
I actually fell asleep in the bathtub Sunday night, and I really don’t think my body is going to forgive me anytime soon. PD and I, with the help of my sister, cousin and mother-in-law watching the children over the weekend (THANK YOU!!!), managed to move all of the furniture and a huge chunk of our things to the new house Saturday. We worked for nine hours loading and unloading. We’ve made a couple of small truck trips since then. I haven’t seen it since Sunday afternoon, but PD made a few trips yesterday and says there isn’t much left, though I know I have a good bit of my kitchen waiting to be moved. We had the piano moved yesterday, the best $150 we’ve every spent. After we get the last of our things, the only thing I’ll need to do is clean the bathrooms and the kitchen. We’re having the carpets cleaned on Thursday, just in time for the electricity to be cut off on Friday. PD managed to keep moving yesterday so the muscle soreness isn’t quite as bad for him as it is for me who sat at work all day. I know for sure now, when we build our house, I’m going to hire movers to move us… ug!
Before we moved I was making all of the appropriate phone calls and fill out change of address forms. Our telephone company informed me that they did not have DSL in that area. I was shocked and very disappointed. I haven’t heard great reviews on the major cable company for their customer service, and when I called to see about service, I quickly realized why. PD asked if I would call a local DSL provider about service. I was informed that I would need phone service, obviously, and told me to check out a local telephone company. Well, I think this company must lease the circuits or something because the prices where phenomenal, and there were odd places to go and fill out an application. I got back online to our phone company’s site and started to place an order for our service to move our phone service and I realized they weren’t telling me the DSL service was not available. I can’t help but wonder if my questioning the lack of DSL made them reevaluated the area and realized, hey, maybe this is a service area! Needless to say I’m ecstatic about it! Though, the turn up date isn’t until the 28th. Not very convenient for someone who’s taking internet classes, but PD said he’d either sit at the empty apartment… until Friday I guess, hehe…. or go to the lab on campus.
Needless to say the house is a mess right now and there are boxes everywhere, but we can already see that we’re really going to enjoy living there. I really can’t wait to get it all fixed and post pictures of our new home. Here are some of it empty I took at the beginning of the month. I left out the laundry room and the bathrooms because I’m not really going to decorate those much. They have very nice counter tops and fixtures, but once you’ve seen one regular bathroom, you’ve seen them all, no? The back yard is dirt right now, I’m not stranger to that, but they’ve been smoothing it out from construction, and I’m sure the grass will get going once the months get warmer and it stops raining so much. We have a little man made bayou in our back yard and Sam is really looking forward to fishing and every morning Libby asks to “see ducks.”
I scored 100% on the How Much Do You Know About Young George Washington? Quiz!

it’s hard to believe i haven’t written a post in over a week. the kids are keeping me busy,that’s for sure. after evelyn got over her rsv the lovely daycare decided that she was having…. loose stools…. to be polite about it. and i couldn’t bring her back until it was cleared up. well, i breastfeed exclusively and that’s gunna happen! sam had a stomach virus but she just wasn’t acting like that was the case. on her last checkup on the rsv i had the doctor write a letter stating the facts and that she could return to daycare, she was not contagious. i was then informed that it was not only the content but the fact that it was getting out. what the heck? babies have leaks! so i told them i would buy bigger diapers, my girl is in a 2 now! the director said she would work with me…
my online buying consultant
she always does this, i’m not sure why. biblical or bride?
… so on the more fun side of things. pd got his student aid refun, yay grants! and we purchased a laptop. my favorite laptop! so he could take it to school, work, etc to do his school work and to have something to take to church for his power points when he teaches sunday school. it’s lovely! well, the lappy has wireless so we just HAD to get a wireless router, tee-hee. i got it all set up at lunch yesterday and i have to say i’m very pleased with myself. of course this is after i set it up perfectly and then started looking at settings and botched everything up and after a long lovely phone call with my isp support, they decided to send out a wireless modem/router, and i could send my router back if i wanted. right! i put it back the way it was after initial installation and let it go. isp’s wireless router should be here tomorrow… ir.. today. after several IMs and phone calls with a friend I finally realized what was going “wrong” and that i should leave it the way i had first set it up. we even worked through managing the router remotely. all issues from before, the same. and so here i sit, having just fed/changed evelyn, blogging from my favorite recliner.
she’s a beauty!
in other great news, we’re moving. i know i said i wouldn’t move again until we had a house, but in the warm nights, and even some of the cold ones, our neighbors are rather obnoxious, outside talking into the wee hours of the night/morning, and the girls across the hall who smoke outside our doors and it leaks into our apartment. bleh! we’re renting this brand new duplex apartment. it’s lovely. 3/2 a very open living space, no carpet (good for the allergies, bad for clumsy kids - we plan to put down area rugs). though we’re living in a box mess right now, we’re hoping to have everything moved next weekend. if i could get my act together i’d pack more, blog less and have everything done by moving day…
