You know our story. We've been busy.
We've had some good and some bad things happen over the last week. So
let me summarize.
Unfortunately, I had to fire another
nurse this past Tuesday. Trust me, I didn't want to. Long story
short, his attendance and work performance have been crappy since
July. He was a no call/no show for his shift on Tuesday. So bye-bye
undependable nurse. I'm so disappointed, frustrated and upset.
Another one bites the dust. Someone please explain to me why people
can't show up for their jobs. I just don't get it.
Thursday we were putting Colby on the
bus. Keep in mind, we have been putting Colby on the bus four days a
week since August. From 9:15am-9:30am on Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri,
Colby is boarding the bus for school. It's not rocket science. So
this jerkoff who has lived here for quite some time tries to back out
around the bus. He ends up backing into the bus crossbar on the
front, not once, but twice. Didn't even realize he did it. Then
starts to pull off. So I run after him and get him to stop. I
proceeded to tell him what he did. He then had the balls to say to me
that he didn't have time to wait for us, we took up the whole parking
lot and he had things he needed to get done. Oh no, you did NOT just
say all that to me young man?! Let's just say it got ugly from there,
and I'm pretty sure he won't be trying to back out around the bus
again. So rude! Seriously, we can't move soon enough.
We (my dad, the nurse and I) took Colby
to his ophthalmology appt. Colby wanted no part of any of it. The
whole day he had a high heart rate. He wasn't exactly cooperative
with the ophthalmologist. “Colby, open your eyes, buddy. Colby, I
need you to open your eyes. Hey Colby, look here at the light, ok?”
I know it stinks to have your eyes dilated, but seriously? Of ALL the
stuff that Colby goes through, he gets a little freaked out about the
eye dr? Crazy kid. His prescription was a little worse last year and
is a bit worse this year, so we got a prescription and will be
getting kid some new glasses soon. Took us a while to get back home,
but overall it was a fairly easy day and I'm glad that's over for
another year. I'm sure Colby is really glad that's over for a year.
Work is buzzing along on the house. The
next two weeks are absolutely CRUNCH TIME! Our priorities for the
weekend were first pick up everything off the floors, then sweep and
shopvac the floors in preparation for the wood laminate flooring and
carpet to be installed. How freaking exciting is that?! Floors!! They
installed the teeny tiny floor in the half bathroom upstairs, I guess
so the plumbers could go ahead and work in there. Tomorrow is going
to be cra-cra busy at the house. The counter top is being delivered
and installed. The appliances are being delivered, along with the
flooring installation is starting. We're also trying to get the
basement painted before we move in. What a difference some scraping
and white paint can make! We should be able to finish that up
tomorrow night.
I'd better get to bed. Need to get up
and get me ready. Then get Colby up and ready for school. Then run a
couple errands. Then off to the house to check out the progress
throughout the day! We're still hoping to move on the weekend of Nov
7-8. That's our plan, and we're sticking to it. Could it be that two
weeks from tonight, we'll be sleeping in our new, beautiful home? Oh
my, I certainly hope so.
I went over to the house and took pics
and video tonight. Will post some on Facebook and on this blog when I
get a chance. Thanks to all you have followed along and supported us
during our house journey. Starting to see the light at the end of the
tunnel, and man, it sure looks good!
