I'm so cunfused! :{

(sigh) So yesterday after school Brookyln mentioned that school was at 11:30 today. Which is the time she goes for early day, So I said thank you for reminding me and woke up still thinking it's early day. So at 11:30 exactally I had her at school but the class room door was locked. (It's always locked from the outside and usually propped open unless your late, then you have to go in from the front doors.) So I told her to go the other way and was thinking the clock was somehow way off since there were no other cars around dropping off their kids. I watched her enter the school and tried to see when she entered the classroom since the windows are at the front of the school. She ran to the window and looked out and left the window. I thought I had missed her wave or something so I drove off.
I had the thought to drive by the school again but didn't think much of it, I've thought it before just to really make sure she was in class but I saw her in the classroom so I ignored it and went home.
At 1:30 I was heading out the door to pick her up and the phone rang. It was my in-laws phone and normally I would have ignored it, most people calling me call my cell, but I ansewered it and it was Brooklyn! She said she had a headache and wanted to go home.
I told her I would be there in a min. and she hung up. I was totally confused as to why she was calling 5 min before school was out but went to the school anyway. There were once again no cars lined up waiting. I got Tanner and Preston out and was about to walk to the office and Brooklyn was there by the car ready to get in.
We all climbed back into the car and headed home.
Brooklyn started talking about how her class was being noisy and her head was pounding and the noise was making it worse, I asked her if they were being noisy right now and what they were doing and finally realized that it was Not early day today.
I dropped her off 45 min early.
Her teacher was not even there yet. Prob on her lunch break. When she went to the window she was looking to see if I was still there. She saw that I was and ran back outside to tell me no one was there but by then I was gone. If I had turned one street earlier and driven by the school again I would have seen her and we could have gotten her to school at the right time.
So she went back inside and "did homework". I'm not sure what she is talking about. She did say when her teacher got there, another student was there and she sent them out to play on the playground till it was time for school.
It's hard getting info out of her though. I'm still trying to get the whole story. This much took a couple hours. She always tells me "I don't remember"
I totally thought all morning that wed. was early day here and had no idea I dropped her off early. We'll see if I remember on fri to take her early. That is actually early day.

The kitchen...

We moved in to my in-laws the end of Dec. Nate is helping them remodel the kitchen while we are living with them. He is only home on sat and sunday though so sat is the only day things get very far (if we are lucky). This project started about one week later. This is the progress so far...



The Wall was made of cinder blocks so a new wall had to go up. There were a few 2x4's but it was only on part of the wall and we needed to make new outlets and do new plumbing. Plus be able to install the new cabinets. Yes there was a window but it broke... (they are being replaced luckily( it was planned before that happened))

t

The floor had to be redone. So those are all new floor boards. We have to wear shoes or get slivers in our feet. I've been wearing socks and pulling the wood pieces out of them. I don't like wearing shoes. The other wall is all plaster and there will be more holes soon. It's interresting to see how they did things 50+ years ago. Today Nate and Chris tackled the wiring. They made more holes but they are in the laundry room which is on the other side of the "new wall"

This was an oven once upon a time. It has not worked in years, Nate does not remember it working and he grew up here. They turned it into a shelf thingy. I'm not sure what it's giong to be. Possibly a shelf again(or rather, crap collector).

Those are my father-in-laws feet. He had to climb in there and pull the wire through by taping it to the old wire so they would not have to make a huge hole in the ceiling. It's been so much fun. I get to keep the kids out of the way. The projected time of construction was one month. I'm not sure if it will be done by the end of this month.

they grow so fast

So Preston is 8 months old and he is trying to walk and crawl at the same time. He keeps pulling himself up anywhere he can. I'm constantly walking around the house with him holding my hands and he tries to chase after the kids. He is also rocking while on his hands and knees and yesterday he was able to move but it was backwards and it made him mad. He was trying to get to a toy but got farther away from it.
He gets on his hands and knees and starts yelling at me since he is not going anywhere. He is figuring out how to get back to sitting from that position and he balls his hands into fists and shakes while growling in frustration.
It'll be nice in a way when he finally gets it cuz then he won't be frustrated and crying all the time but then I will be even more frustrated or at least for a diff reason. He won't be one to stay out of things and ther eare plenty of things for him to get into here...

They should pay us

So I'm finally back! Our computer is set up and I have access to our pictures and everything!!!
It took one month to do it but it's up now. YAY!
So I went to the dentist today. I have a molar that is a baby tooth and it got infected last week. So Iwent to the dentist and he said it needed to be pulled.
Well I did that today. I had my tooth pulled and he drilled a hole in the bone and put a screw thingy in the hole for an implant that comes later (after about a month of healing)
Now I'm in lots of pain.
We go to the dentist because we are in pain & pay him way to much money for more pain!
He said that ibuprophin should be enough but I've taken 2 lortab and my whole face is throbbing and I'm dizzy from the meds...
The lortab was from when I had Preston and I did not need it. After having a baby, I was fine and Now I need the lortab. Crazy how my mouth can hurt more than having a baby.
On the plus side, I get to have milkshakes for meals and don't need to feel bad about it! At least for today and tomorrow. Don't want to go over board and have to work it all off later...
