These past few weeks have been nothing but pure and utter madness. Ends up that my crud from a few weeks ago was pneumonia, cough still hasn’t completely gone away but otherwise feeling much better. I had to send Geoff and the kids to B’ham last week while they came and replaced our floors. They look fabulous now. I just wish the house was put back together after having to clear the living room and Aegwyn’s room. I still have stuff stacked up in the laundry room, computer room, and in the boys room waiting to find a permanent home.
On a brighter note, I got a job and start next Monday. The problem is the paper work I am having to go through for the job, and the fact that my first 3 days on the job are going to be spent traveling. I have to go to Ft. Benning to train, which means sending Geoff and kids back to B’ham for 3 days. The company is flying me down there (why I don’t know). My flight leaves out of B’ham Monday at 6:30, goes to Atlanta, and then to Columbus, GA. I am set to arrive at 11:00am. The bad part of this is that I could drive to Columbus in 2 hours, but instead I am flying which is going to take 3 1/2 hours. They are putting me up in a nice hotel though and getting me a rental car.
With me going back to work, Graeme is going back in daycare. Aegwyn will be staying home, I am afraid to chance it with her. When she was in daycare before she was sick constantly. The docs say she has bad allergies which compromise her immune system. So she will be staying home with Daddy, and hopefully she is old enough now to keep herself occupied so that he can actually get some work done during the day.
We took the kids trick-or-treating Friday night, and Aegwyn had a blast. She was alittle scared at first but by half way through she was running to the doors yelling “twick-r-tweat” and grabbing handfulls of candy from any bowl that was in her reach. She wanted to walk the entire time too, and would allow no help carrying her little pumpkin. When we got back to our street and were headed home she was so tired she just got down and started crawling, dragging her pumpkin alongside. She still wanted to go to the houses though, and was very upset when we told her no, and picked her up to carry her the rest of the way home. Since then she goes to where I have the candy in a big bowl, and asks for her “tweat”.
