Breathing (and blogging) break

Today's got-it-done list ...

~Fed a kiddo. (the quick way)
~Called apartment office to request service since our A/C started leaking water everywhere again.

~Straightened up the place while they worked on the A/C.

~Called cable company to report our box slowly dying.
~Talked to automated cable lady voice for 18 minutes with no other choice for a live agent.
~Finally talked to a live agent with the demeanor of... well, nothing I can put there will avoid offending all possible parties. Just not a good demeanor.
~Convinced live agent after 38 minutes that I just wanted to go to a location and switch boxes. Got the location address, 3 minutes from here. *sigh*
~Emailed more info to the lender.
~Confirmed the contract glitches are settled for the Champaign house. Yay!!!

  3. Since we found yesterday that our AC condensation line was clogged (rust) and had soaked and ruined the floor of the furnace room, I started out yesterday afternoon with the AC man. Furnace,AC coil, Water heater and pressure tank old and need replacement. Got furnace estimate. Outside at 7:00 this morning to pick Japanese beetles off the garden veggies and fruit trees. Quick shower and cereal. Plumber here at 8; emptied closets adjoining furnace room, carpenter here at 9. more estimates. Called furnace company to order new electric furnace. called Lowes to order water heater; called Family Center to order well pressure tank -- all in same room whose floor is demolished.What a blessing we have the $$ to pay for it! Called refrigerator repair because NEW ice maker is leaking. He'll be out in the morning. Made 6 ministry phone calls. Read/answered about 40 emails. Made lunch for fam. Bible reading. Took up vinyl in damaged room. Bleached molded areas. Selected paint for walls.(some of RK's leftovers). Picked more beetles from flowering shrub. made supper.30-minute counseling call from confused lady. made another ministry call. worked on JC's transcript. Read blogs and here I am! Will fix more food when RP gets home from basketball.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so
