YAY 5KM!!!!!

The walk went great! It was 6 of us who drove down to the race. Four including Marshy, my friend Lori, and I. We kinda split up within the first 15 minutes or so. Breaking into two’s with the speed we were comfortable at. I’m happy to report that Lori and I came in at 56:48.2!We also had some great news come in on Friday. WE SOLD THE CRIB SET!!!! YAY!!! I immediately called Mom and got the number for the clearing house in my home town where there was an awesome sale on a captains bed for the boy. After buying it over the phone and telling my Mom and Dad about when they could pick it up I started dismantling the Boy’s room, starting with emptying his dresser into my hobby room. It’s the season where I have to go through his clothes, see what is going to fit him come next fall, separate the things that are done forever, and bring out the summer things from last year and see what will fit him. I had to take J and the Boy to Walmart on Sunday afternoon ‘cause not only did the Boy have almost no shorts that fit him, we needed to pick up his new bed set. He had the choice of Batman or what he ended up choosing…SPONGEBOB!!!!His room is sooooooooo CUTE! I ended up taking down a little shelf out of the corner ‘cause the Boy would have hit his head on it eventually. Mom and Dad were great and bought the Boy the matching night stand for a present.

THANKS MOM AND DAD!!!

There is also HUGE thanks going out to my Dad for other stuff. Not only did he bring up the new bed, put it together from truly asinine instructions, he ripped most of the front deck off my house and replaced the railing to make a really sweet platform leading up to our front door! He has worked like a dog these past two days in the heat and humidity and had it all done by this afternoon…in time to help me deliver the baby furniture out to it’s new home. Once again, my Dad rocks!

Anyway, I have a line on selling the old air conditioner that came with the house. Let’s hope that one comes through, all the cash we can get our hands on right now is appreciated. The tax payment is two weeks away, and my income tax return has yet to make an appearance in our account. SIGH!!! I called and found out it hasn’t even been processed! DOUBLE SIGH!!!

J’s job is secure for several months. It was coming down to the wire with the current contract expiring…the day after TOMORROW! He finally asked his boss when the paperwork was coming through and boy was he surprised! He thought that it had all been taken care of and that everything was fine. Meanwhile I’m hyperventilating in the corner at the thought of J being unemployed two weeks after buying the new car! Everything a-o-k for now.

Must go. Am sticky and hot and miserable…and this is in the office that has the working air conditioner. And if you are wondering I’m selling one when it is so hot here, this is the AC that doesn’t fit in any of the windows…the one that the yahoo’s cut a hole in the outside wall of the bedroom to get it to work. That one.

Ciao for now!
