I don't have many pictures to share, but lots has been going on! Last weekend was my work fundraiser/silent auction. It was a 50's style soda shoppe theme, so we all dressed in 50's garb for the night. It was lots of fun - wish I had gotten a picture of my outfit. I sewed myself a circle skirt with some old fabric and wore it with a cardigan, neck scarf, and tennis shoes. Cheapest costume ever.
Last Sunday (which seems like it was yesterday, this week has flown by!) was so peaceful and restful. We just went out for the afternoon and played as a family. So much fun.
I had an interview this past Monday for a part-time administrative/front desk receptionist at a driving school in the area. I'm supposed to hear back by the end of today whether I got it or not. I am pretty hopeful - either they were really nice to me or liked me a lot. It sounds a LOT like my old job, but the management seems a lot nicer than mine. It's owned by police officers too. Anyway, after break I have about 6 weeks left until summer break at the preschool, in which case I'll be working a lot during that time. This job is only Friday/Saturday, but it's still about 15 hours a week. I'm hoping this will work out so I can quit at the Preschool next year and just work two days a week here in Port Orchard. We'll see!
Our landlord emailed me this week and said that the listing has expired on the house, and wanted to know if we'd like to sign a lease! Um, YES PLEASE! We're waiting to hear back...I told her we wanted to, but I'm a little worried she's going to try and raise the rent, so pray she lets us sign with the same rental terms!
Here are a few things I accomplished this week (other than completely cleaning the house from top to bottom on Wednesday afternoon):
I finally hung up Shea's name letters in his room. I painted these when I was 8 months pregnant, and just now have hung them up for the first time. I giggled about the A being almost the same color as the wall.
I also organized our bathroom closet! I don't have a before picture, but it was bad. It was just like...stuff stuffed everywhere stuff could stuffin' fit! I bought those top three blue bins at the dollar store for guess how much, a $1 each (whooa!). Anyway, we'll see how long this organization lasts.
I also dropped my cell phone in our toilet two nights ago. Never done that before. I have never reached my hand into a toilet bowl so quickly. I haven't tried turning it on again yet...but my SIM card was ok and now I'm using my husbands ghetto super broken annoying phone.
And here is a picture of my sweet boy this morning. He has been waking up every night at 1:30 and only going back to sleep after sleeping in my bed for about an hour. I've been tired this week, to say the least.
Amber, I feel like I haven't heard from you in forever! What is going on with you? I keep thinking of calling you, but it's always like...when I'm driving to work (and I don't have a headset or speaker phone on my current phone), or Shea is going crazy, or at 5:30 in the morning. haha.
edit: Just heard back about the job. They filled the position, but the guy told me I did really well and they'll keep my information on file if anything opens up. I'm not really too disappointed. I wasn't really ready to give up my Saturdays!
Oh, and our landlord emailed us back. She wants to raise the rent to at least $1150 (we pay $995), and she thinks thats generous, because they usually rent it for $1350! I'm sorry, but there are much larger and nicer houses in Port Orchard for that amount of money, and we just don't have it right now either way. Looks like we'll be staying month to month, unless she changes her mind.
I love your post! That's so great that you guys can stay at the house! Shea's letters are so cool and your closet looks awesome. I always feel so good when things get organized. I dropped my cellphone in the toilet once too! It actually worked afterwards for a bit, but then had issues. I think if you make sure its completely dried out (take all the pieces apart) before you turn it on again, it might be fine. I keep thinking I should call Amber too! I really should do it...I miss hearing from her.
