Big D lost his job last month, but we have both been doing odd job here and there to stay afloat. We have been thinking about doing some advertising since we both love it so much.
The last tile job we just did...
Bid D's carpel tunnel has gotten so bad that he can't sleep. I have taken to sleeping on the couch so I can be close to him. We are trying to get some sort of insurance for him so he can get the surgery he needs.
Since we may be in this home for quite some time (maybe even the entire 15 years of the loan) I have drawn up some new plans for our remodel. It will be WAY more pricey and take MUCH longer, but it will be worth it.
Current layout:
New plans:
J has yet to get into any real trouble at school (the homeschooling didn't work out), with the exception one incident with a bully, which actually ended up just being a misunderstanding. They are now friends.
I always dread the parent teacher conferences because even though my kids are EXTREMELY smart (not a biased opinion, they get "advanced" scores during testing), they spend most of their time in their own little worlds rather than the class room. This tends to result in missing assignments and low grades. Yeah, well, we have those fun filled meetings tomorrow. YAY!!
Luckily, I'm not one of those parents that blames the teacher for everything. I KNOW my kids very well. I know they are bored out of their minds, and I know they find the the bug flying in the window much more interesting than the lesson at hand.
I also learned about an interesting item called a CHEWIGEM. I think I'm going to try it it for J's chewing problem. He's like a puppy and destroys everything he can get his mouth on, including his clothes.
