Been awhile since I'd posted,.... thought I'd jabber a little bit. School is still plugging along for the kids. We got progress reports on Sydney,... less than stellar,... but she's got 4 weeks to bring her grades up before we remove her laptop from her room. *crossing fingers she brings her grades up* One of her grades is math, it's always been hard for her,... the teacher commented about tutoring. Of course they don't offer such things AT the school, so I asked her teacher for suggestions. Seems her older daughter can tutor Sydney,.... we're still waiting to hear more about that. I will also see if she can work with Geoffery each week as well.
I've torn apart Sydney's room. Now that Jess isn't here,... no point in the two beds year round. Was sad to do, but at the same time,... it sure has made Sydney happy :o) She has her OWN room. Rearranged, cleaned,... all that good stuff. It took me 2 freakin days to get it done. I'm still wanting to sort through the closet as it's still full of junk she never plays with. I do have a pile of toys and bags of clothes to be given away.
Chris took well over a week off,... from Sept. 16th - 27th. He was sure to be home for our Anniversary, and he defiantly needed the break. Work was really getting on his nerves LOL We enjoyed a lot of at home quiet time. We went for coffee in Jonesboro one day,... wandered around the mall,... was really nice :o) On our way home, we popped into the furniture store we use,... Gamble Home Furnishings and spoke with Jeremy there. He's a good guy. The whole family is really. Anyhow, we went in to see about ordering Sydney her full sized bed :o) We found the perfect bed, matches her existing furniture! Got that ordered,.... and well, Chris loves his toys... especially the electronic type. He was in the TV area. We love our tv now,... but Chris was determined to see a better picture, and to do so, we needed one with the 1080p ability. So, he wheeled and dealed with Jeremy and we got our new tv the next morning LOL The bed frame and all will be here in a couple weeks I guess.
Sept. 20th was our 12th Anniversary :o) We celebrated by leaving the kids at home with Brian and going to the 501 for dinner. Mmmm was sooooooo good!!!! I had a nice salmon dinner. I already knew what I wanted before we even got there :o) Was delish!
We went out for coffee another day, wandered the mall some more,.... but for the most part, while he was off, we vegged at the house, played online game called Guild Wars,... some friends from my PSP group also play so we had our headsets and got to talk with them and their husbands,... just a lot of fun :o) Watched a couple movies and things too. Very relaxing and just nice to have that time together.
Brian,... he finally got a job,.... which was like his dream job :o) Game Stop!!!! What better job for a future video game designer???? Sadly,.... he had his one day at work,.... a Saturday morning,... for like 4hrs of training. He called the next day for his schedule, only to find that the store is having to reduce it's hours, so he's not even on the schedule this week. He said he'd be on call for Fri and Saturday. *sigh* I told him that he needs to visit WalMart, and see if he can't get on there. He'd still have electronics, and discount,... whatever he could need would be there. I know he doesn't like the idea of working there though. I can't seem to get it through his thick skull that he NEEDS money,... we won't be paying for movies, lunches, etc. He also needs a car,... badly. I hate nagging. I guess he'll figure it out eventually??? Can't do much of anything without some cash in pocket right??? *shrug* He's a big boy now. Time for mom to cut the cord ;o)
On that note, cutting this now,.... need to get dinner going.
