I'm up late working because I have trouble saying no. Anyways, we're out of the merged J months and into a new one.
School starts in a couple weeks for my girls, so I'm taking DD2 to an exciting allergy appointment tomorrow to get her updated paper work done for school AND to have her blood drawn to check her levels against her egg allergy. Super fun times!

Super fun times! I have a note in my calemdar to drop off the allergy for Dd2s dr to fill out and sign. I also need tonget a new epi pen to be taken to school. I really wish they had a longer expiration time. It feels like such a waste to keep getting a new one every single year. |

I wish I could drop it off, but August was when she was first officially diagnosed, and her allergist won't fill out the paperwork if it's been about a year since she's seen him. So in we go. |

Today is my first day at my new job. We managed a quick beach trip for a couple days before starting the position.
Also funny ds&ds2 have been going to church with my IL’s the last 2 weeks. Ds2 is learning the sign of the cross. He told me about it last “the father, son, and mother nurse”

Ok here goes nothing. Here's the before pictures. I'll start another with where at now. Also my MIL and FIL are pissing me off. They are also doing their kitchen and have been worming on it since March. Which is crazy. But they hired an interior designer and she didn't contact electrician and plumber. My FIL had to call and he didn't call until maybe end of April. We've had our contractor signed since March 2021 and he's lines them up for us since then. Well they've been at our house 2x and haven't been back to hers. They even went as far as going into the plumber/ electrician and bitching why they are starting on ours and not finishing theirs. It's beyond crazy with them.    |

Let me upload the design/plan.
Yes, everyone gives me crap for the wallpaper. But it didn't make sense to change it when we didn't have the money to do it right.

Dh got a not insignificant promotion and raise today! I was surprised as I didn’t think it would happen to quickly. He interviewed this morning and found out this afternoon.
Tuesday really took a turn for the better!
Spent my morning on the phone with the garage door company. They installed a new door yesterday and it isn’t right. Hoping they will do the right thing and fix it.

mrsbliz love it!!! What kind of countertops? I like the dark cabinets a lot. Those actually aren't our cabinet colors or counter tops. That was is design before I picked everything out. I chose a dark grey/brown for all the cabinets except on the peninsula which I did black. The countertops will be laminate and it's a speckle of brown/grey/and black. Let me see if I can add the picture of the 3. |

I know what you mean about waiting until you can afford to gut it. I really dislike the color choices the previous owners made in our kitchen and would love to redo it. But we're waiting a few more years. |

I really dislike the color choices the previous owners made in our kitchen and would love to redo it. But we're waiting a few more years. Same in our master bath. It’s like peach walls, forest green tile, gold fixtures, popcorn ceiling. But we haven’t touched any of it the 10 years we have lived here because we know we want to gut it and start fresh. Hoping we can do the bathrooms next year. Need a break from spending for now to save up. |

We are all moved in to our new home. We have a lot of work to finish getting rid of things/decluttering/etc, but it’s getting there. We are getting tvs mounted today - h is doing this since I started work Monday. There are deer (2 fawns are adorable), frogs, roosters….mice, bugs (a lot of dragon flies)…all around the neighborhood. So far I’m loving my new job. The other place I really wanted to work contacted me this week to apply for the exact position I had in ATL. I was flattered and I know I could do that job well. I’m glad it wasn’t an option because I’m so glad I chose the job I’m doing.
We got childcare (starting 8/15) for all the kids. School starts at the end of the month. I got close parking at work (that’s a big brag around here - I don’t know how it happened, probably an error because I have better parking than my boss).
I got my car registered but need to get my license still.
So a work in progress but things are good. H starts work at the end of the month, but all of a sudden the has so many trainings in the next couple weeks (some require going out of town). At least I have family help now.

Another post… I left work early to go the dmv. I made it, waited in line, got called up. Got shut down. Turns out I needed to bring my marriage license (had a different last name on old NC license). I completely don’t understand this as my SSN and name match…. They told me I had to come back again. 🙄 what if I changed my name and didn’t get married? Would that be okay?

The DMV has the weirdest rules. They made me go home and provide proof of address last time, when it was the exact same as on my license. I was just doing my regular renew. |

today was an interesting day. It started with waking up early for a carseat zoom meeting. It was carseat jeopardy, and was pretty fun. Then this afternoon I had a meeting with my sister, out CPS coordinator at the Office of traffic safety and her boss. We needed to go over what can and can not be expensed out by my sister and I for our next training course in November. When I was getting everything ready yesterday for the meeting, I noticed that there were some discrepancies between the paperwork I was emailed back in March, and what the current guideline are for reimbursement. I brought them up in the meeting. One of which they knew about and were aware of, and the other that they were not aware of, and the CPS coordinator tried to tell me that it didn't apply to our situation. Her boss corrected her, and then told her that I was correct. After a bit more discussion, I was asked why I've never applied for a very large grant related to CPS in southern MN. I told the brutal honest truth, and the boss seemed surprised to hear my reasoning.
Then after the meeting, I was walking down the stairs to me dinner, and on the last step, but foot slipped and went under me when I fell. Same ankle as last summer. Doesn't hurt nearly as bad, and I wrapped it and iced it right away. I'll keep icing and resting for a few days, and then do my stretches and exercises.
And if anyone Is interested, I can post on the private board some of the neighbor drama that has been happening the last couple of weeks. Its getting very interesting giving in this small town.

Last night H and I went out with some new couples and kayaked on a lake. We had a few drinks, chatted and watched the sunset. It was so peaceful and a perfect evening. Sounds like this might be a weekly thing now.

No i don't know them, but it happened just a couple of blocks away from our house. Funny that you will be in our town tonight though. Dh is adamant aboutbtaking thr girls bowling this evening, so we were going to be going to the place in your town this evening. The day after the fire in my current town, there was a house that caught fire in my old town. That was across the street and at the end of the same block from out old house. |
