Last few days reviewed
Thursday - What a totally productive day!!! The ladies came over again today and were able to accomplish a lot in the kitchen. Amy cleaned the over for over 4 hours then couldn't sit still so she straightened the kids' toys and vacuumed upstairs and down. It was so awesome to have the help. I nicknamed her the Energizer Bunny as she just could not sit still! Tina was out of sorts today so I had a hard enough time getting her to wash the outside of the kitchen cupboards. At least both jobs are done so I don't have to worry about them. We also got a few extra things packed in the basement off the bookshelf area. So much more to do down there, but I am having a hard time just deciding where to start! It is pretty overwhelming. Maybe when we get the boxes to the storage facility, I will be able to see better what needs to be done.
Tony came over tonight and we were able to get the stuff needed for the phones and get some guidance from a guy at Home Depot as to how to join the Cat 5 with the existing phone wire and make it work. He did all the connectors and was pretty confident that all was well. He is confident that he can finish all the outlets for the phones (and make all of them work!) as well as put the shelf in the laundry room, build the closet in the laundry room, and finish sanding and painting our address plaque and get that back outside before Trav gets home. I am hoping to get some boxes out of here so he can see how much has been done.
Friday - Just a pretty normal day here. However, did have to take Braden to see the doctor as he is STILL sick! Found out he has an ear infection so she put him on a Z-pack. I am SOOOO hoping that this will clear things up. I also managed to get to Meijer today to pick up a few snacks and other things as well as to Kohl's to find a shirt. I want to get some new shirts that I can wear to be comfortable and casual this winter as well as that will stretch with my growing belly. Went to the Mall as well, but had to leave almost immediately upon arriving there as Braden was NOT sitting in the stroller. Did get the boys some frozen yogurt and we sat outside Macy's and ate that. It was nice to be out even if for a short while.
Braden took a really good nap and ended up sleeping through being moved from the bed to the car to pick up Madison from school. He then slept out in the car for a while while I made dinner and the other kids played with the neighbors in the backyard. I eventually let him play out back as well until dinner and then again after.
Speaking of dinner, having to cook for the ladies this week has renewed my urge to cook. I was very blah about it since Trav left as it is not much fun cooking for one adult who will enjoy the food and 3 kids who probably won't. But, getting to cook for 2 other adults was wonderful as I knew that there would be more people who would appreciate and eat the food. So, this week, I made stuffed mostacolli, tacos, and baked chicken. It was fun! Now this coming week when Trav gets home, I should also be excited to cook. This weekend, I want to put a menu together so that I can have meals planned. I know we are going to be very busy with him here, but at least he can have some good home cooking!
