Miss me? I know it's been a while since I've blogged. All those hours at the spa relaxing and vacationing have taken up so much of my time. No wait. That's incorrect. Maybe it was planning Colby's birthday party, getting everything lined up for the 1st days of school (Aug 15) and working 11 days in a row. Yeah, that's more like it. That's how my time has been spent lately.
Colby's 9th birthday party was a great time. What a special reason for a celebration. Attendance was down a little this year. There were only about 75 people there haha. What can I say, Colby is a very popular little man. It was awesome to have his party in his actual birthday month, since last year we had it in August (don't ask) and 2 years ago it was in September thanks to Colby's lengthy hospital stay. Colby got some awesome gifts (see pic) along with lots of b-day cards and cash. The moolah is being used for some practical stuff he needs, an aluminum suitcase ramp and a new suction machine, along with some fun stuff, a couple new school outfits, batteries for his b-day toys (need 12!) and anything else cute and adorable he just has to have in the near future. Tomorrow Grandpa, Colby and I are going to see Cars 2 as part of his b-day too. Should be fun, hope Colby likes it.
Colby had a visit from his nutritionist this week. That "little" stinker weighs 64.2 pounds! Colby obviously has no issues with his feedings. He hasn't grown any in the last 3 months, but I predict that will change soon. He's probably due for a growth spurt. Lord help my back and shoulders.
The Avon fundraiser has come to a close. The items that were on backorder are now in. I'll get them tomorrow from my super awesome Avon lady and deliver them as soon as I can. Will also get the grand total on what we made to add to the "Make a House Colby Accessible" fund. THANK YOU to all who ordered. Now if I can just find a house to make accessible...and no, there aren't any new prospects. I'm not giving up. I know our new home is out there somewhere. Just not sure when or where we'll find it, but we will, because I hate this apartment more and more by the day.
Which brings me to my next exciting news, the ceiling leaked AGAIN, this time in the closet in Colby's room. I was so pissed. I went to put Colby to bed Sunday and kept thinking what is that noise? Opened his closet door and about crapped my pants. There were several drips running everywhere. His clothes were soaked. Luckily we didn't have any of his supplies or equipment get wet/ruined, or then I would have been double pissed, and that's never a pretty sight. I called immediately and maintenance came that night. Apparently the AC upstairs froze up, but it's all good now. It's not leaking and the drywall in the closet has been replaced. Then maintenance came the next day and repaired the drywall in the bathroom where it leaked a month or so ago. Heck, he even put on a new toilet seat while here. Bonus!
Here's the info on our next fundraiser. The Sellersburg Women of the Moose are holding an indoor yard sale to benefit our handicap accessible house fund. Mark your calendars, here's the scoop: Sunday, August 14, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Sellersburg Moose Lodge, 1040 South Indiana Avenue. Donations being accepted at the Moose Lodge on August 10, 11, 12. Box up your donations, mark them "Colby Russ yard sale" and take them to the Moose on the dates listed above. This would be a great time to clean out those cluttered closets, drawers and garages. You know you've been needing to do it for months, maybe even years!
Okay, seriously? A commercial just came on for Pajama Jeans. Just what I need for those type from home days, huh? That'd be keepin' it classy for sure. I have lots more on my mind, but I'm very sleepy so I'm hitting the sack. More soon. You know you can't wait.
