I forgot

I forgot to tell you about what we did Friday night. We took Caleb fishing at a friends house. He has a pond behind his house with a few fish. and we took our poles which are part of our 72 hour kits and we went fishing. We have had a push up here to get our 72 hour kits in order so we have been working on that. And we just kind of hoped that they worked and we had everything, until Eric took his to the scout camp this last week. And he ate exclusively from his 72 hour kit his water and everything! He had some good ideas after the experience that he is going to remedy with his kit. So we had a good dinner and the fish in the pond did not really go for our fake bait that we had in our kits, so we borrowed some hot dogs and man did they love those!!!!! We caught several fish and we threw them all back. It is not our pond after all! But Caleb loves to fish. My mom will love hearing that as she is the fishing queen. Now she can come up and do her favorite activity with her grandson. Kill two birds with one stone. But I do have to warn you Mom, he is NOT a quiet fisher so try not to fish for the ones scared by loud noises. He does whisper though, maybe you can get him to whisper the whole time.... just as likely not! Then we started our camp fire and Caleb got so involved in that we put our poles up. And we ate rice and salmon cooked over the fire, and we had fruit bars for dessert. It was good! All in All we had a blast!

Slacker

I have been such a slacker!!!! Much has happened and I just have not gotten on to type it all in yet.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday Caleb went to school. We got up early with his usual I am too tired, I want to go to sleep. But we got up and made a lunch and then got in the car and went to his school. We go inside and get to the play area and Caleb runs off before I can even get his back pack off!!!! I get it off and then he runs off and I don't even have to stay at all!!!! I am really glad that he is secure enough in who he is to go off and play and not need me. And when I went to pick him up he was just having a blast, And of course he was sooooo cranky! When I told him it was time to go he just cried and cried. And when we got home I made him lay down on the couch and we talked about the calendar that they gave us, and as soon as we were done and I made him stop talking he fell asleep within 30 seconds. I am not kidding! We put him to bed earlier because he was so cranky that day.
Wednesday was much the same with him falling alseep within a minute after laying down. He was still cranky after school so we put him to bed earlier then the night before. But he got up that night it was 4 in the morning, and went downstairs to try and find us. Of course we are not downstairs we are asleep in bed. So when he didn't see us downstairs he thought we might be next door for some reason. So he unlocks the door and goes knocking next door. Some lady sees him and calls the police, and I wake up thinking I hear something and that is when the police decide to be quiet. So I say Hello?? and then of course the police say Police Services. Oh My Gosh Hang on Just a Minute!!! I yell. I wake up Eric and we run downstairs and the police ask us if we lost a little 3 year old. We go out and look and it is Caleb! The lady found Caleb with no pants on, apparently he took off his diaper somewhere. So we gave the lady back her clothes she had used to make Caleb warm, and we took him inside and laid him down in our bed. Eric talked to the Police and they were understanding one had a son about the same age do that too. And they just said to get an extra lock. It scared us to death! We talked to Caleb and he justified going outside alone by saying that the Police were there. Well they were but not when you went outside!!!!! I am sooo glad that the lady that found him was honest! But I think he learned his lesson well because today he saw two little girls outside by themselves and he told me they shouldn't be outside by themselves without a badult, that is what he calls an adult!!! So then the next day he went to school again and I picked him up and once again he fell asleep but it was about 5 minutes this time. I think he is getting used to the rigorous brain usage and school schedule.


So then Saturday we took him to the Aquarium in Cincinnati. We got the seaspon passes so we can go more then once, and it was a good thing too. Caleb loved it but he went very fast through the whole thing. So we will get to go back and go slower the next time. He loved the sharks and the penguins! We do have pics but I am going to do them later. More of that slacker behavior!

News

The doctors office called and confirmed I am pregnant. They have set my next appointment for July 9th. I am lucky in that I can continue to take flintstones vitamins instead of those nasty prenatal vitamins until that appointment. I wish I could take them the whole time but the prenatals are for pregnant people while flintstones are not! I will keep you updated!

GREAT NEWS!!!!!

Well guys, we are going to have to change the terms of our weight loss challenge because I AM PREGNANT!!!!!!!!! I found out Monday and I got to go shopping and got some boxes and some baby booties and sent them to my Mom and Jeanne (Mother in law). They got them and they were both thrilled! Jeanne and George even cried. My sister was there when Mom opened her box and before Mom even got it opened Becky was like I bet she is trying to tell you she is pregnant! Mom was like how could you even know what that means without seeing it? But despite not knowing what the box and tissue paper meant when she saw the boots she knew what they were for. And she was thrilled!!!! She wants a girl because they are so much better to shop for with all their cute cute clothes! I went to the doctors today and they had to take some blood to see if I really am. The line on the test was really faint and so they had to take some blood to be definitive. And they will tell me tomorrow. And then I can get things rolling. I want to lose some more weight, and strenghten my muscles so I can hopefully have a natural birth. I also need to get more in shape. I wheeze horribly at the top of stairs!!!! I was still at 265 when I went in to the doctors today and I had a FULL bladder for my test! So maybe that is about a pound or two!!! J/K probably not though! I am still good with 265 though. I have been steady at that weight which is good for me! Caleb doesn't quite understand what we have told him. He does not seem that interested yet. And according to a rough estimate by the doctors office the baby is due around valentines day! I am sooo excited! I will let you know when I hear yes or no from the doctor.

WooHoo!!

Woohoo!!! I just signed a contract on my listing!!! It has been on the market for about 2 weeks and We have had many showings and we had 2 offers presented. One was from another agent, and one was my buyer. The other offer had some contingencies in it that just would not be good for my seller, so she decided to counter on my buyer. Well the offer was signed yesterday!!!! Now my buyers are going to go to a title ageney and it should close within 2 weeks! I am soo excited!
Eric is almost done with his finals, and he takes the LSAT on Monday. And then we have to wait to find out what he made. And then we will see if it is good enough to apply for Law school. If not he will go to Chemistry Grad School.
And then when he is done we are going to work SUPER hard to get all the things done with the bathroom upstairs and then onto the dining room!!! And on... and on.... and on... and the list never ends!!!!!

Nothing much is going on

cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccaaaaaaaaaaxxxxxlllll;ewb Caleb likes to type his name. Unfortunately he snuck a few extra letters in thpere!!!!!!;; b I have had 3 showings since I got my listing but no interest so far. I got the talking house working, and it sounds great! I just need to get a sign on the corner put up. But there is no grass!!! So I have to go get a thing to hold it up on the light pole, eric has it all worked out. We just have to get it up now.

I forgot my primary bag today. I even picked it up once and then set it down to put Caleb's shoes on, and I guess I forgot to pick it back up. It was hard not having it. I didn't have the lesson or my activity, but I got the lesson from the library and we went outside to smell things. That always goes over well!!!

And I have some board meetings on tuesday but I cannot find a sitter!! I have tried everybody I know with kids. I will try our nxt door neighbor that Caleb plays with sometiumes. If she does not work out, then I am going to have to try this lady he really likes. She lives vewry far out there, but she does have grandchildren that come over to play with. I hope I can find somebody!
