Tuesday Twelve

Twelve random thoughts...in no order.

1. It's officially summer! Ryan's last day of school was wednesday although we had to go in friday morning to pick up his report card. He did so well this year and his teacher said she'll really miss him. Ryan's going to miss her too.

2. We'll be doing "homework" and have reading time each day so he doesn't slide during the summer months. He's had fun with it so far.

3. The hubby's company laid off a bunch more people last week. Morale is low, he's stressed and working long hours, and he's wondering if his job will be in the next wave. Gah!

4. We have a trip to Colorado planned this summer. I'm already wondering how the drive with 3 little ones will be and thinking about things I can do to make it smoother! I'm also looking forward to seeing family and getting out of town for a bit.

5. Old Navy had an additional 50% off clearance items last week. Makenna's entire outfit yesterday, capri's, a cute top and flip flops, cost $8. Yay for bargains.

6. We've recently discovered that a builder is trying to build 200 apartments IN OUR SUBDIVISION! Apparently they're small, low rent and can be classified as section 8.

7. This is not going to help us sell our house. The house that is already too small for our family. The house that we've put blood, sweat, tears and money into to increase resale.

8. Did I mention the house next door is for sale and one across the street went into forclosure last week?

9. Makenna went into the childcare at church sunday. Her first time! It took three tries to drop her off and she was sobbing when I picked her up. But she did it!

10. We found out yesterday that my old boss, someone who was once a close friend of ours, passed away. We're waiting to hear results from the autopsy to determine cause of death. I wish we could be in Colorado to meet up with friends and reminisce.

11. Ryan's baseball team finished regular season games this past sunday, now we play in the tournament this weekend. His team probably ranked in the bottom of the gold bracket, meaning they're the worst of the best. I'm proud of Ryan and his team, they've had a great season.

12. We really need to find a plumber. Who knew it would be so difficult? I guess when you add demolition to the plumbing, it makes it more difficult. Maybe a general contractor is in order?
