This has been a busy month!

I have driven to a lot of football games. I have been incredibly busy at work doing a lot of little things.

This past weekend was the beginning of my month long of busy weekends of traveling. I drove a group up to Lubbock. While I was in Lubbock, my dad called and said that they were going to be in my area and wanted to stop and stay with us. So when I got back yesterday I got to spend time with my dad and uncle. It was so much fun!

This weekend I have to drive back to Lubbock on Friday night. Back home by early Saturday morning and then heading down to Fredericksburg for Oktoberfest and then Austin for the Bat Cruise. Then it is our trip to Phoenix. My mom is going to travel out to see us and is going to bring the baby. So I will get to see my niece!!!

I’m so excited for this month! But alas, I know that it is going to fly by and it will be over all to soon.

Hope y’all have a wonderful month planned!

I got a raise!

I had my bus driving meeting today for the school year and they informed us that we have gotten a raise. I am so excited! It will give us more money to play with for the cruise and all the other trips. 🙂 Granted it is only about an extra $150 a month, but hey.. every little bit helps.

They still don’t have enough drivers, so I am still driving regular routes until they can get someone new onto the bus. It will be fun I guess.. :/ My afternoon route is going to be a whole bunch of pre-k through 2nd grade. That should be fun figuring things out during the first week of school. I am excited and nervous for the first day of school next week.

Oh, and on the good news front, I have reached my annual health care deductible. So that means that the insurance should cover anything else done this year (as long as it isn’t infertility treatment, so basically, no meds or IUI covered, but ultrasounds and blood work will be covered).  Unfortunately, we will not have the money to cover meds or the procedure until next year which is when the deductible starts all over again. What a cycle huh?

It Rained!!!!

Yep.. Early in the morning on Saturday morning, there was some bright lightening lighting up my whole bedroom waking me up, followed by a deep rumble of thunder and finally, the unmistakable sound of raindrops blowing against our window. It was such an awesome sound and even though we were woken up at 5am for it, we both loved it. We sat there watching the lightning for about an hour and a half before we went back to sleep.

When we finally got up on Saturday, we realized that Darrell had left his car windows down, so his whole drivers seat was soaked. We had a long relaxing day on Saturday. We watched the rest of the Avatar cartoon on Netflix, and Darrell made me beef stew for dinner. It sprinkled off and on all day on Saturday with the high only being like 90. Such a relief from the heat we have been having.

Today we also had rain and a somewhat relaxing day. In total we have gotten about 4″ of rain in the last two days. It was a nice cooling weekend. Unfortunately, we are expected to get hot later this week, but hey, the reprieve was nice. 🙂

Just a random fun fact: I went and got chinese food for lunch last week and I ate my fortune cookie and guess what my fortune said:

“From the floors of the ocean, the waves of the tide, a vacation awaits you far & wide.”

Makes ya think we might end up going on that cruise huh?

what a week!

So I have been mildly upset all week to say the least. I have spent a lot of time watching Netflix and reading books. Luckily I have a lot of books I need to read by October. It was very hard for us to call it quits this week. I guess you never realize how badly you want it until you aren’t given the opportunity to actually go through with it.

Of course it also happens to be an extremely hot summer here in Texas. We are breaking records left and right. We have had the most days above 100 degrees since 1948. We are also breaking the records for the hottest lows. Last night at 11pm it had cooled down to a whopping 93 degrees. Such a relief from the hot day right? Unfortunately, there is no end in sight.

We also have Darrell’s mom’s motorhome in our front yard. We are holding it for her until she can head down in October to pick it up. Meanwhile we are working on it and fixing it up for her. Today I went through the motorhome and pulled out everything that wasn’t attached. We are going to go through the stuff and get rid of the old stuff. We are planning on putting the dishes she will need into the motorhome. We are going to re-cover the cushions so they don’t look so worn. I know that it isn’t mine, but I am totally looking forward to helping fix it up. 🙂 It will help me keep my mind off of things. 😛 First steps first though, we have to get it into the mechanic to make sure everything is working and then see where we stand from there.

Darrell is going to go to a music thing tomorrow and I am heading to a co-worker’s daughters wedding with another co-worker so we can help out. This should be a very fun and long weekend!

Oh No!!

So I came home on Thursday evening after having worked almost 12 hours, and Darrell came home right after me having been gone for about 9 hours. We wandered inside, put things away and started a general just got home regimen. I happened to go into our bathroom for some chapstick when I notice our closet door shut. Then I see the shredded carpet.

Darrell had accidentally pulled the door mostly closed in the morning and Poleeko had been sleeping in there. When Poleeko had tried to get out, he had shut it all the way. So he spent all day locked in the closet.

I spent about an hour cleaning the whole closet up looking for any of his accidents, but luckily, he had held it all day. Unfortunately, he wanted to get out so bad, he shredded about an inch of carpet near the door and the doorjamb. So now we are going to have to replace the carpet in the closet. Fun Fun! I think I would much rather have had to clean up a bunch of messes.

But who can blame him? He was closed up in the closet all day with no food or water when it was almost 90 degrees outside. So now we will have to make sure that we won’t accidentally close him in the closet again.
