My weekend

My weekend was crowded, but very fulfilling.

Friday I went to J & J and bought a few more vegies, since the frost killed a few tomato's and cucumbers, so I worked for a little in my garden, watered my newly planted flowers. Did Laundry & a very small amount of house work. Then got ready for the BBQ at Caleb & Kims for his birthday. Nic, well he was quite active as well, but then it caught up to him & he had to take a nap, for like 4 hours, while I was doing my thing. He was still able to go to the BBQ though.

Saturday I did a small amount of grocery shopping, laundry & another very small amount of house work. set up my chocolate fountain for my sister-in-law. Then worked on the cakes, and went to the party. After the party, I worked more on the laundry. Nic started out strong, he and Cassidy had a daddy daughter day and went to lunch and a little shopping, then to the park with both kids. He crashed after that-- in need of a nap. After the party I stayed home so Nic could go see a few friends and a band he hasn't seen in a while.

Sunday Nic & I got down to work. He went and bought himself some clothes ( Hurray- he won't wear what I buy & he rarely goes shopping for himself) I went to the grocery store, stocking up on a few things. Then when we both got home, it was yard time. I mowed the lawn- had to do it twice, because we waited too long between mowing's. But I was very impressed with how nice it looked. Nic went out and bought a new trimmer & little pool for the kids. The yard looks great, but I am sure it's only for a few days, then it will need mowing again. But such is summer.
Then we washed the cars and did a little more gardening.- Now all we need to do is weed the garden. I've got bean sprouts coming up- Yea. No sight of any potato's yet though. Nic wants to plant a little bit of corn, so we might give that a try as well. This weeks project.
Then after the outside work, we did the inside work. Cleaned the kitchen, front room & family room. ahhhhh clean. Thanks to my neighbor Casey who helped clean the cars & house. Many hands make light work. After such a weekend, my feet are KILLING me.
I have a few blisters


a great tan line


and a killer flip flop tan line.


Nic got up and went to work, I am thinking that about noonish, he will need to have a moment in his truck to catch up-- maybe a few moments.
This week, we start baseball, Cassidy on Tuesday & Thursdays & Trent on Wednesday & Fridays. Nothing planned for memorial though...
I want to say Thank you to Crystal & DeLaine for helping me out last week with dinners & child care. You guys are the best!

Decisions

Well, I decided to stay with the state after all. I will be working full time starting in February. Yup 4 10's. & a 1 hour lunch- so 11 hours a day. That will be quite the adjustment. The thought of not being with my family on my work days saddens me, but having an uninsured family scares me. So Nic & I are watching to see if anything better comes along, but for now, we'll adapt to some new changes.

It's official

I've given my office my resignation. My last day will be the end of January.
Still looking for work, part time.
problem- Insurance... can't have uninsured kids...I will probably get them on CHIP.
I am taking my kids in for well child check ups this week, before the insurance is gone.
