Coming home

Andi and Benton are coming home from Texas on Thursday…. finally. They don’t know yet if Drew will be coming with them or not (it’s a long story that I don’t want to get into.. let’s just say it involves the Army).

So either Andi, Drew and Benton will be leaving Thursday or Andi and Benton will. I just hope they don’t need to use their roadside assistance plan and the trip goes smoothly. If all goes well they’ll be back home sometime Friday night.

I can’t wait to see them. I miss them all so much.

Bad day

I’m not having a real good day today. I’ve been babysitting Benton since Wednesday because Andi had Army business to take care of in Texas. She got back last night but had to be in Ft. Dix today and tomorrow for her Army Reserves weekend.

I swear I want to put up some wireless security cameras in the bedroom to see what Benton is doing when I put him down for his nap. I put him down today and a few minutes later he started crying. I went in to see what was wrong and he was completely soaked along with his pillow, quilt, clothes and his blankies. Evidently I didn’t put the cap on his bottle correctly and it leaked all over.

Note to self: just because the cap is tight doesn’t mean it’s on right… check it first!

Growing like a weed

Benton is getting so big that he’s growing out of his baby clothes so fast. He wears 18-24 month sizes now and he’s only 14 months old.

The temperatures are beginning to cool off and he needs warmer clothes and jackets now. He has a couple hand-me-downs that Andi’s friend gave her but he needs more.

I guess it’s time to go find some good deals and do some shopping so the little sweetheart can keep warm and play outside this fall.

Working out

Now that Andi is in the Reserves she’s trying to get ready for a PT test that she has next month. She’s doing sit-ups, push ups and running. She says she’ll be able to lose stomach fat fast if she keeps this up. She’s only been at it for a couple days and already her abs hurt from the sit-ups and push ups.

The running is giving her a hard time though. She went running this morning and found out she is so out of shape. She hasn’t run like that in almost 2 years. The last time she ran she was in Iraq. I’m sure she just needs to find her rhythm again and she’ll be fine.

Finding a baby doctor

13

Andi is still trying to find a doctor to take Benton to. The county sent her to one place that was the pits! It was filthy. There were blood drops on the floor that hadn’t been cleaned up and the floor was just plain dirty. Syringes were sticking out of the sharps container. A little one could have easily grabbed the syringes that were sticking out.

The only thing they had in the exam room to clean the exam tables was a spray can of Lysol. They didn’t have any sanitizer or wipes.

Andi walked out of that place without having Benton looked at so now she has to find a baby doctor that has a clean office.

Had a really busy day

I had a really busy day today. First I went to the bank to make a deposit, then I went to WaWa, the laundromat, CVS then to Shoprite. Then I called Andi to see if she needed to borrow my car… she did. So I picked her up and she dropped me off at the camper.

I had EBay auctions that ended while I was out so I had to send out invoices for that stuff. I relisted some things that didn’t sell in a different format and within 10 minutes of listing them they all sold! So that meant sending out more invoices.

Next was to get the cat fur off my comforter.. see review below… then put away the clean clothes. The next step was to work on my blogs, which I’m still doing, and wait for Andi to come back to pick me up so I can take her back home.

I left the camper about 9am this morning and got back here about 12:30pm.. almost 1pm. At least the day was productive and I got lots accomplished. I was even thinking of checking out some term life insurance online quotes. I still might do that later on.

Looking

26

We are still looking for a place to move. Andi went and picked up her boyfriend from Pennsylvania yesterday. Now they are both looking for jobs. I hope they have better luck than I’m having.

We will all be moving in together to help with finances so there won’t be any cross country moving any time soon. We need to find at least a 3 bedroom house.. possibly 4 with a garage and hopefully either a basement or family room.

Andi is trying to find a job in the medical field and Drew is a diesel mechanic. They are both Army combat veterans and have both been in Iraq.

If anyone in Southern NJ wants a couple of good, disciplined workers then please hire my daughter and her boyfriend!

Wow… I didn’t realize

I didn’t realize just how long it’s been since I posted here. A lot has been going on. About the end of August we got notice the landlord wasn’t going to renew our lease and wanted us out in 6 days. We got him to give us another month to find a place. We were unable to find something suitable and now we are living in our camper until we can find something.

There sure won’t be any orlando vacations… we need to find a place to live. It’s going to have to be at least 3 bedrooms .. preferably 4 because Andi, the baby and her boyfriend will be moving in with us to help with expenses.

I still haven’t found a job either. This economy is really bad.
