Yesterday was awesome!!! I woke up around 10, all alone. Jon and the girls went to his parents for the week-end. Of course, I had kids on Saturday, so I couldn't go. When I woke up I had planned on going outside to clean up the yard a bit, leaves & stuff. But it was only 36*. Ummmm, no. lol So I worked on my to-do pile for awhile. At noon it was a balmy 54*, so I ventured out. Ohhhh, it was SO NICE outside!!!
I started cleaning out the garage last December in between last quarter's class and my hysterectomy. I had a little bit to finish up, so I did that yesterday. The rest is Jon's; just stuff that I don't know what to do with or how to do it. I'm sure if I put tools & stuff away it would be in the wrong places....
Got done with that and started raking leaves outside. I raked the driveway (strange, but true), around the front of the house, and the east side. Until the blisters started. I was out there for about 3 hours. Came in and showered; it was a wonderful shower since I was icky, lol. I worked on e-mail, my to-do pile, and homework, then took a nap. Got up and did paperwork for the week for daycare.... Very productive, I was.
Today was busy. Heather did not want to cooperate in being nice this morning. She can be so mean sometimes; I just don't understand it. She'll yell and scream at kids, calling them names, especially Taylor. Poor Tay has to take the brunt of Heather's moods most of the time.
I did find out, though, that we still have insurance coverage. I thought that between Jon's actual date of termination and when we got the paperwork and the check in we had nothing. But the coverage is still in force. Yeah!!! What a relief!! Heather's out of her Focalin 5 mg. tomorrow and has been out of the Focalin XR 15 mg. for a week or so (I've been compensating with 2-20 mg.), so the insurance will be nice!! I hate not having her stable on her meds; I don't want to mess up that little body any more than it must be.....
Katie got here at 10 and I showered.
Heather & I ran errands today; just had a Mom & Heather day. We went to the doctor to pick up Jon's prescriptions and make him an appt. We had to sit there longer than usual; they have a new check-in system now. It used to be that we could walk in and the receptionist would recognize me and grab what I came for, but they're evidently being more strict on getting people in in the order that they arrived. Fine... lol
Then we went to Wal Mart. We both needed shoes. We didn't find any there, but I got her a Hannah Montana tank top, one for Tay, and a pair of shorts for H. I know H will need the shorts this year; I'm pretty sure she's outgrown close to everything she has. But I only paid $3 each for them, so I was happy with that.
We went down the strip mall to Payless for our shoes. She's in a size 4 1/2, which is the last kids size that she'll wear; the next size goes to woman's. She was kind of sad about that, lol. She may not have be able to have the HS Musical shoes that she wants. Growing up is tough....
We then went into McD's to use the bathroom. The handsoap STUNK!! Anyways, we got our food and headed out onto the highway. We drove to Holland to her Dr. Dirkse's office (her psychiatrist). He gave me a voucher for her Focalin XR 15 mg. and Abilify samples. For one thing, it's saving us $60; for another, it may be a couple of days before I can actually pick up her scripts just in case the insurance doesn't actually go through on time.
We came back into Muskegon and stopped at Walgreens for Jon's scripts and to p/u some pop. His insurance wouldn't go through, so I was blessed with calling around Shape's HR dept. again. Grrrrr. She said it was a mistake and that it would be put through by the end of today. And it was.
We then went and washed the Durrrty Durango, cleaned the interior, and vacuumed it. Gotta love the free vacuum at the place across from Meijer!! And the wash only cost me $3 because I had $6 left on a card.
Went to Meijer after that. Great sales this week, some things I bought even though I didn't need them. But they're things that are I buy on a regular basis, and I'd rather buy them on sale than for regular price. It will all work out at the end, because I won't spend as much on the other trips.
Came home and put groceries away, made dinner, and shoved the last of the kids out at 7.
Not really, the last one's were Kailynn & Emma; and they're easy. I've been working on homework ever since (other than the motherly duties, getting the girls ready for bed, etc.).
This is my last week of class. I know I'm getting an A in Healthy Environments, and a B+ so far in Comp. I. I have the last essay & a powerpoint presentation in English due this week, so hopefully I can keep those grades.....
I think my final essay is better. It was a rough start; for some reason I just haven't been able to wrap my brain around it and make it make sense since I first started it. When I first started it, it just flowed SOOOO easy!! But it's on ADD/ADHD in Girls, so the topic is pretty close to home. But I don't have a choice at this point; I had to buckle down and "Get 'er done!" lol. Ok, so I watched the roast of Larry the Cable Guy last night.....
OMG, I need to post more, lol. Guess I was long-winded tonight. But I'm also watching CSI & the news, and it's now time to work on business stuff and my to-do pile for a bit. I'm beat, and don't think I'll be going for too much longer without sawing logs.....
