Shoes ON

So today was a great day.
The boys had a geat day at school.  Since it is Thursday it also meant Thursday papers for Danny and I have to say I was SO proud of him.  He has to correct anything that is less than a B and he had to correct nothing, in fact he only had one grade that was not an A.  Super proud of my big guy.
We started ASC on the playground.  There is an Arts and Craft show in the Gym tomorrow and Saturday so we were booted out.  It was a gorgeous day, HOT, but gorgeous so it was nice to go outside and let them seriously burn off their energy.  I think it was just nice to change it up a little too. 

After we got home I attempted socks and shoes again.  My toe is still tender.  I am worried that heading back to the doctor is going to be what happens.  Samantha and I went walking and the boys rode their bikes and sold popcorn.  They did not sell a lot but they sold some which is all I can ask for.  I love that they are so pumped about the sales again this year.  As soon as we got home the shoes and socks were off and I made sure to soak it, but I was so glad to have them on.  It was definitely the best news and one of the many blessings of the day!  I could not get on my Brooks, but I could get on my Sketchers.  Maybe the shape-ups will help my rear while walking!

A long way from done

So today was a pretty good day at the house, I am continuing to pack up the office, but I swear it reproduces when I am not there.  I was making great progress when I kicked my toe, the one that is already seriously screwed up.  Anyway, it hurt like hell and put me in the chair with it propped up and well just killed momentum all the way around.  Not what I needed, but the good thing is we are so close that it is litterally a days work and it will all get done.

We headed to the house as soon as Brandon got home.  He wanted to get a list together since we have the final walk tomorrow.  The problem is we are a long way from done.  Not a comforting feeling at all.  The kitchen faucet still leaks, the walls still have a ton of touch up work, there is a crack in one of the bathtubs, there is still a hole in one of the closet doors, the fireplace is missing a part.  On the positive note the blinds and screens were installed.  So that is something.

First Load

Well, we got the first load ready to take to the new house, we are just ready to close so we can take it.  Brandon and Danny loaded the trailer completely.  Corey, we promise we will have the trailer to you as soon as the move is over.  It seemed easier just to pack it tight and then unload once we get there.  You have been a life saver for letting us use it, I am so sorry we have not been able to get it unpacked before now.  The motivation is different now so it should happen quickly.   We seriously owe you big time, thank you again.

My toe is still seriously killing me.  I am not a fan of pain, and I have a lot of that happening right now.  Typically I have a pretty high threshold, but this is not even fun. 

We headed to the new house to find that they had done a lot, but also made some bigger messes.  For instance mom's bedroom closet door has a HUGE hole in it.  We are down to less than a week and we still have no blinds, no screens, a leaky faucet and an air conditioner that is not working.  Grrrrrr!!!!
