So, whats on my fridge

1. Pics of friends and some of their parents
2. A birthday card that should have been taken down long ago
3. A business card from Hubby's cousin who paved the driveway
4. Wooden Alphabets
5. Assorted Magnets
6. A letter Jo got from Nana
7. On the side is the calendar and lots of other junk
8. The other side that you can't see is full of magnets too

See anybody familiar??

Danigirl has me thinking about taking Jo to the dentist. We fight with her at least once a day to brush her teeth. I should call and make an appt for the fall. Maybe the dentist can stop her from sucking her thumb too. She only does it to fall asleep and then through some of the night. I've tried to pull it out when she is asleep and I get this one eye stare and she rolls away with it back in her mouth. I haven't been to the dentist in years. Maybe it's time to get us both in there.

What else?

I hope to get the basement finished this weekend. We really need to get the furnace guy in here and then decide if we need central air. I'm not sure that we really need it. The house is only 900 square feet and the little ones in the window keep my happy. If the house was bigger then I think it would be beneficial, but with nobody in the house all day and a full basement that is cool is enough for me? Any pros/cons? Northern Ontario can have some hot humid spells. In fact we can go from having the furnace on in the morning to needing AC in the afternoon. We also might go with some friends to Cuba in February and I'd rather that than Central Air. This will be the last year we will be able to go away and not have Jo miss school. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I haven't been out golfing yet this year. I just find that after a full day of work and then trying to get stuff done in the house I just don't have the energy. Weekends are too short. Maybe I'll take a "Mommy Day" soon and get my butt out there.

I'm having "L" over on Saturday to give me hand with Jo. Hubby is working and there is no getting anything done with Jo by myself. I need to clean closets and organize. If the weather is good then the two of them will hopefully be outside most of the day. This will be a test for "L" to see if she can look after Jo. I hate to nag on her, but if she can't do it when I'm here, then she can't do it when I'm not.

Work has been exhausting this week. My main job is Accounts Receivable. There are 3 of us in the office. I have to learn the other 2 positions before mid July. There are 4 weeks of vacation to cover so I need to learn some of the admin stuff and this week I've been learning how to key all the inventory and payables. It's lots to absorb in a few days.

Jo has been sleeping really well lately. (I'm knocking on wood) I am up before her most mornings and on the weekend Hubby and I both were awake at 730 and wondered why we were awake. Jo slept until 830!

For nothing to blog about....I said alot!
