Last week was a wee bit busy. I have tons of projects going on at my new job to get up to speed - lots and lots of meetings. I'm definitely being challenged here - not with anything I can't accomplish, but it's just a LOT to accomplish. But it's really wonderful being somewhere that my skills and abilities are recognized and appreciated.
I attended my first Cobb County Town Hall meeting to encourage the development of a sidewalk on Irwin Road between the sections of the Lakefield Manor subdivision. This is the road that runs by our subdivision and ends at Cheatham Hill Elementary School. Hopefully our presence and persistence will get this project done.
Nate & I finally met with our renters to ask them to consider moving early (end of June) so we can get back in our house. They are thinking about it. At the very least we're still on target for August.
We also had a parent-teacher conference to learn all about how Veronica is at school and see what she has learned. Mrs. Blackerby, her teacher says that she is 100% ready for Kindergarten and is moments away from learning to read. She did also mention that she has some issues with knowing left from right, which I am certain she gets from me - but overall Veronica is a pretty darn good kid. She also mentioned that she is starting to not take naps - which explains so much about her behavior late in the day. (GRUMPY.) We're doing a pretty good job of wearing her out though, she had a Birthday party this weekend at another jumping place (Monkey Joes) and she skipped a nap because we were so busy with errands leading up to the party. She voluntarily skipped having cake - some of our sugar lectures are really sinking in. But when we got home - she fell asleep on the sofa by 6:30 and didn't even wake up for dinner. We had to carry her to bed and wiggle her into her pajamas while she was sleeping - and she slept the WHOLE night.
Alex has a nasty cough - but no other symptoms, we think it might be allergies like us.
Miley the dog is still terrific company for the kids and is still chasing the cats. The cats like that she is crated during the day so they have free-range in the house. No kitty emergencies lately. (No cats stuck in trees or closets.)
Nathan is once again back in Montana this week, but he'll be in North Carolina for meetings on Friday. I'm home flying solo with the kids again. It will be nice when Nate is done with the long-term assignments so I have time to make something more than fish sticks for dinner.
Have a great week everyone!
Oh yes, that wine mentioned last week is literally Willamette Valley Vineyards, Whole Cluster Pinot Noir, 2006 Vintage. We bought it at Harry's/Whole Foods.
