It's been a bit crazy around our house. Our contractor is in pretty much every day (including Saturday), working. This varies from mouse-like quiet to distracting din. I am pretty glad we're generally not at home for naptime. Matt and I have been racing to get our fixtures, etc. chosen and ordered. Mom and Dad took the kiddos all day Saturday so Matt and I could spend all day fixture-hunting. And we did! The money end of it kills me. I know it costs to do this sort of thing, but kissing $800 away to tile here and $400 away to bath fixtures there, kills little bits of my good-German-saver soul. I know how hard it is to get that $$ back into savings.
Friday we went to Ben's doctor's appointment. He is getting longer and leaner, which is nice to hear. He's up near 65th percentile for height (was 46 last time) and 80th percentile for weight (was around 90th last time). He hated his shots, but otherwise was not much hindered by the experience. We went to the zoo with my mom afterward which both kids loved … Tabby for the animals, Ben for being outdoors.
Sunday I went for a looong run with some friends from my mom's group. I was the weakest link, which doesn't feel good, but it reminded me to keep upping the ante on my running. I am trying to run a half marathon in April and I need to focus on getting some more distance and some more actual road runs. Time is so limited though that it is hard!
Yesterday Matt got his wisdom teeth out. It was no picnic, but he's through it now and over the worst of the recovery process. I took the day off to hang with him and drive him around and such, so I am a bit behind at work.
And in my free time (which has been scant hours), I am working madly on my freelance project. I'm enjoying the development process all over again and pleased with the product I'm putting out.
Last, but not least, I am going nuts because my Tivo broke (we're pretty sure). The input from the cable box (which shows up fine when going direct to the TV), will no longer show up on the Tivo. If it is broken, this will be the second one we've replaced and I am getting mighty sick of it. A friend mentioned that Direct TV has a protection plan under which they replace for free … and I am now trying to figure out if we can switch off cable (just the TV portion) which we also use for phone and internet and come out too much worse for it. But you know how it is … you've only got so much time to devote to customer service reps and musical hold.
You have been busy beavers as well.
Glad renovations though daunting are coming along.
Happy to hear the kids are doing well. O hates shots but so did I. Who likes them?
Hope the hubby is feeling better.
Good luck with everything.
