Ugh!

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from K. She had left her purse in 3rd block and went back to get it afterschool. I get a somewhat frantic call from her as she realizes that her wallet with her cash, house key, car key and drivers license are missing! Fortunately I had gotten off work early and was able to run over, pick her up, chat with the police, file a report, grab her and head to see about getting her a new license - of which we missed by mere minutes! So today we get to make multiple calls about getting locks rekeyed on both the car and house and take her to get her new license! Fun, fun! Oh and we called our insurance co. and if we file a claim to help with the rekeying, etc. it will have two deductibles for a total of $750! If anyone hears any loud booms today it just might be H & I hitting our heads against the wall out of fustration! Anyway, off to work I go!

A litte bit...

This is a little bit of what we have been doing around here lately.

H has built this fence to keep the puppies out of the garden. I am so proud of him - I'm not sure he felt comfortable tackling this project but he did a GREAT job and it has withstood the strong wind storms we have had lately. Right now he is in the process of moving the old garden boxes into the fenced area and building a few new boxes to include one for strawberries/chocolate mint. Then we are hoping to get the garden in and the lawn reseeded.

D is still working at Sam's and trying to decide what he wants to be when he grows up.

K is busy with being a sophmore at BJHS, she has some major classes this semester - German, Chem & Alg. 2 w/Trig. She is also babysitting a fair amount, getting ready for some summer activities and is hoping to find a job for the summer to rake in some dough!

As for me, I have been nannying and just trying to stay on top of life in two households - theirs and ours. I am still hoping to get a job back in the medical field so if anyone knows of any openings please let me know. I did take some time and finished this quilt top recently - it was a mystery quilt where you were given the instructions over a few hours - this one was from New Years day 2005 - it was a fun way to spend the day but I'm glad to have it done finally! I just need to get it "sandwiched" and quilted. See how big our Sugar puppy has gotten! She weighs about 18 pounds with her harness on and is a little love bug!








and a bit closer so you get an idea of the colors



I have picked out some verigated thread to quilt it with. Still need to chose a "motif"

Anyway, I just thought I'd give you a glimpse into the goings on here.
