The blog posts despite the government shut down

10-2-13

How come I had to work harder yesterday when the government was shutdown?

Bobby fell off the monkey bars and injured himself. Monday night he came home and told me his chest really hurt. He would lift his arms and you could tell how much it hurt him. When Ken was checking him out, poor kid went into his standard form of shock and felt all nauseous and started crying. Ken took him to the doc yesterday and they don’t think he cracked a rib, however they did say he bruised himself pretty good. No PE until Friday.

It was actually nice, though in the idea that we didn’t go to soccer practice. It meant I could leisurely make dinner, work on homework with the boys and not feel rushed. In fact, I was able to sit in on our bed with the boys and Riley, let Bobby read to me his story, and then we could discuss it. It was really great.

Speaking of Riley, she is doing fantastic. She is all kinds of active and chipper and is eating well. Last night I got her some of the KMR second stage formula and some more kitten grub. She really enjoyed the KMR. I think she likes it better than the first stage stuff. It is thicker, which is awesome. She plays with the girls and doesn’t take their crap. Lucy was pretty annoyed that I had picked up 2 small toys for Riley. She wanted to know why I didn’t get her one. She kept stealing it from Riley. When we move I need to stock up on some fuzzy mice.

My living room has been painted and the bathroom windows are in. The big gash on Steve’s backside is also almost all filled in. The hallway needs painted. It has already been given the primer coat, so it just needs the color. Kitchen is fully painted, only requiring some touch up. I need to get a new door for the living room to the back yard which means I may need to pick out a color for that. I think the white doesn’t look right. I could paint it the same color as the room, but I am not sure yet.

Ken needs to cap off the gas lines where the leaks are. Hopefully we can get this done quickly so Mark, our plumber, can get things done.  That light at the end keeps blinking and it is making me anxious.

Today brings a shit ton of errands. Thank goodness for early release day. We will get to work on homework and then I have to go get an outfit for Saturday. Plus, I need to get statements for the financial report that I need to do. I have a lot of soccer paperwork to do this evening. On the plus side, the meeting is something I should be able to duck out of sort of early since the boys will end up being there with us. We have a photo session there before hand in which Martin Chevrolet wants to take some pics of soccer kids. Yay!

Now we are planning Thanksgiving. It has been decided to invite about 20 people. Most will not show, but it is at least putting it out there. I will not do invites until we move, though. I want to make sure we are in. I know we will be, but still, I don’t need that kind of stress on top of everything else.

We seem to have done something right with Ittles. Her loose poo has decreased and she is no longer dripping. Yay! She seems to feel better, too. I am excited since I know how much she hurt. The meds were a three day treatment and so far so good. We need to wait a little while longer to make sure things are working properly, but she may be able to be out of isolation soon.

I do want to go to the fair on Saturday, but I feel like I need to do some work at Steve. The fair will not be a long outing, but it isn’t all that often that we get a longer day to work on things. I really am anxious to move.
