What a Wonderful Week It Has Been
Marcus and I had a wonderful week with Jason, Lindsay and Finn. We were extremely sad this morning to see them go. Our house seems so empty and so quiet without Finn running around laughing and playing. We did a variety of activities throughout the week; many of which you can see in the photos below. However, the best times were just sitting and reading stories to Finn (though I did finally slip Hands, Hands, Fingers, Thumbs out of sight beneath the couch cushion) and teaching him words that Mommy did not really want him learning (nothing real bad--just words like no and stinky). I am already longing for the next time I get to visit with him.
By now I am sure that the catastrophes that have been befalling our house have become completely unbelievable but we had another one! I think it was Wednesday evening we noticed that the fridge in our garage was not keeping food cold so we called a guy to come out and check on it. He came out and looked in the freezer and said I had it overpacked (we went shopping right before Jason, Lindsay and Finn came and spent $700 on groceries so both the fridge in the house and in the garage were packed). SO I rearranged things, but the next morning we found that it was not any colder and the food in the freezer was beginning to thaw. We started running food to the neighbors freezer to try to save it and called a different repair man. Apparently some heating coils or something went bad so after another $200 we had a working fridge again. I am almost afraid of what could possibly go wrong next!!
Today we met with our realtor and finalized everything for putting our house on the market. As of Monday it will be available for showing. I am not looking forward to this--always having to have my house clean and having people traipsing through it. I hope it sells very quickly because the finalization for marcus' new job at the Pentagon came through today! As of October 15th he will be the new chief of the Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration Branch of the War Fighting Integration Division--isn't that a mouthful? I had to write it here so I can come back and check it when someone asks me what my husband does because I will never remember all that--heck I still don't understand what he will be doing but at least he will finally be putting his physics degrees to good use! LOL On that note, I need a nap in order to recover from this past week!
