Wow so it's been since Tuesday that I've posted. Things have been crazy all around here. Over the weekend "The Hubby's" dad had that massive heart attack and has some family there to help him. Hopefully he decides to change his habits so that way he'll be able to recover. The doctors said that if he wants to see his grand kids grow up that he needs to do a complete turn around the day he leaves the hospital.
We've offered our home to him since he has to take two weeks off anyway but we'll see if he's able to or not. It would be good for him because he never sees the kids and he just needs to get away for a little while to figure things out. If he comes out here he would get better because we'd go on bike rides, walk, play outside, grill (since we changed our electric plan, can't use it between noon-7pm) and just stuff other than watch TV. I think I watch TV in bed for a half hour a night.
Yesterday we had our electric plan changed and when the electric company put the new box on he had to turn off the power. Before he did that, "The Hubby" ran around unplugging everything he could and it happened to be the TV's with cable box and DVD players. No big loss they are still unplugged today.
The kids are in school today because we had to meet our financial advisor today. We did go on a nice, fairly long bike ride too. You see, I haven't ridden a bike since high school, 11 years ago, and here we are going down these trails of loose rock and gravel that it makes me nervous. You see, Monday I was attacked by a killer cacti. He just jumped right out in front of me and grabbed my left ankle. Luckily I had "The Hubby" toss me a big piece of wood and I killed it.
Not fun, so when I see these trails I get really scared because the rocks are soo big and loose and all I see are cacti everywhere. I take it a lot slower than he does but I get to see our wildlife here (freaky looking either chipmunk or a small squirrel).
Tonight we are going to go on a bike ride with the kids. Since the kids haven't been taking naps, they haven't been able to go on rides. Hopefully tonight we can.
"N" has now been telling me that he wants to get married and to a girl named Madison. I'm a little nervous because he's been talking about giving her a kiss and this and that. He's only 5, what's with the whole growing up thing.
"O" went to the bathroom on the toilet today. I haven't been keeping up with her lately on that. I'm trying to be a better mom to them. Tomorrow they have to go back to daycare because of the house repairs that are being done. Then this weekend we'll be biking, going to the park and if it gets really warm, maybe even breaking out the pool. Pretty soon we won't be able to do that because the landscapers are redoing the backyard because it sank.
I think things are looking up for us. I think we have agreed to push back our move date to Chicago until Summer 2009. That's nice because we can ride our bikes almost this whole next year. I am opposed to pulling kids out of school during the school year to move them so we will wait until the end of the next school year to move. I can't believe that "N's" going to be 5 this year and starts Kindergarten.
I still have to figure out what to do for his birthday this year and I don't have much time left. Well I should probably go because I'm going to walk up and grab the kids from daycare and let them play outside while we decide if we want to eat or ride bikes first.
