Breathing (and blogging) break

Today's got-it-done list ...
(Psst...Do you cringe when you see a blog post start like this... like who cares what you're doing today on a boring Monday, RK?!? Feel free to move on... but you kinda wonder now, don't ya?)

~Fed a kiddo. (the quick way)
~Called apartment office to request service since our A/C started leaking water everywhere again.
~Scrambled to get dressed when the doorbell rang much sooner than I'd expected.
~Straightened up the place while they worked on the A/C.
~Fed a kiddo (the long and messy way) resulting in both of us being covered in milk and yogurt.
~Gave messy kiddo a bath. Didn't take time for one myself.
~Put clean kiddo to nap.
~Printed, signed, scanned, and emailed back documents to one IL realtor, one lender, and then a second batch to the lender.
~Vacuumed the mess left by the A/C maintenance guys. Did the rest of the apartment since it was out.
~Called new insurance agent to start that tedious process of insuring 2 cars and 1 house, per request of the lender.
~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!!!
~Fed a kiddo lunch. (the quick way)
~Fed a husband (mine) lunch the microwave-leftovers-from-Olive-Garden way.
~Paid online bills with accounts in both IL and MO.
~Transferred money from IL to MO account.
~Called for status on kiddo's Sure Steps.
~Followed up with construction estimator for quote needed this morning (it's late).

~Completed weekend's work-work and returned to clients.
~Sent final invoices for clients.
~Made a bank run for deposit (MO bank).
~Made a Dr Pepper run for husband.

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

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

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
