Week in review

We started schooling this week.  OK more like we attempted to start this week.  I managed to get in a full day of schoolwork on Monday, go me, but then on Tuesday I declared "fine arts day" and we watched Robin Williams movies in his memory and just couldn't get back to it again.  Oh well there's always next week.

Scott also started working some crazy hours on the job.  A person in his department just up and quit on them Monday, so with no warning at all we got thrown into 14-16 hour shifts.  He got more than 30 hours of overtime just this week alone, and it will continue for a few more weeks while he trains a new person in his department.  I admit that the extra income is rather nice, but it is frustrating to have it only for a couple weeks and then gone again.

In other news, we started renovating here.  We are replacing all the carpet with linoleum tiles, and repairing the subfloor at the same time.  We've gotten the entry done so far, and this weekend are going to take on the hallway.  It has been an experience, fixing up this place.  We also had to replace the kitchen sink and faucet, which turned into a major plumbing job as we replaced half the drain pipes so that it was done correctly.  Nothing in this house was done properly, so we are repairing it all as we go.  Good thing Scott and I are pretty handy, otherwise we'd be in trouble.  We should have the flooring all completed shortly after we get the tax refund next year so that we can move on to the next project.

Now I need to wake up a sick kid and an infant so that I can get both ready to go to the pediatric clinic at their doctor's office.
