Well, Amanda has yet to recieve her passport in the mail… and it just occurred to me yesterday that she will have to take her birth certificate with her should the passport not arrive. Guess where the birth certificate is? Nope, not in that blue file folder with the others. It’s with the passport. They keep your original birth certificate to be returned with your passport! So, I am going to have to make a trip to the birth certificate place in the city just in case…
So Bay and Em are going to camp next week, they are leaving from church on Sunday morning for a week of fun about two hours away. I actually called the camp to ask if I could send a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly. Bailey doesn’t eat meat. He wanted to go to camp so bad he said he would eat whatever but I know him, he will just not eat. He is already pretty thin so I didn’t think that was a good idea. Anyway, the lady I spoke with was apparently one of the cooks and she said that I didn’t need to send those things because she kept them for just that purpose and that she had gone through three loaves of bread in two days. I let out a sigh of relief. Emelia will have a ball. She is such a socialite. But, this means we are leaving Friday for Dallas, they are leaving Sunday for camp, Amanda leaves Monday for Canada. I have a lot of packing to do. I spent all of yesterday just cleaning and doing laundry so today I will try to get them mostly packed.
I went walking with my mom last night at the park! Her 65 birthday is Friday, the day I’ll be leaving for Dallas. She jokingly gave me a guilt trip so I suggested we do something Thursday night. I’m taking her to lunch Friday… Matt’s birthday is Sunday and all the things I ordered have not arrived and I ordered them May 23. Looks like they won’t be here in time.
Letting the kids pick the meals this week has worked out well. Amanda loved her gyro night and they were better than usual! Matt’s meatloaf night went well and there is leftovers this time because there were not a bunch of extra kids around. Tonight is Bailey, so I’m off to get stuff to make his cheesecake… along with disposable cameras for the two and conditioner for Em, because I just got shampoo for her camp bag. I know, what was I thinking… she said, “mom, you know my hair gets really tangly and I have to have conditioner.” to which I replied, “sorry! I’ll get it!”
Izzy spent her three hours (in three sessions) in the stander again yesterday and we did her therapy. She had a good day! She is so cute by the way. She has school today. She will have pt ot and st. She will be there for two hours each Wednesday… I called the tefra people again yesterday and they still don’t have things fixed. Apparently there are two new issues. First, they had to verify her ssn because someone had used it & they did change her pcp but put the start and end date at 6/1/07. So, the new stroller was ordered on Monday. Hopefully by the time they are billed this will all be worked out. These issues all just require hours on the phone trying to find the right person to fix the problem.
I am not sure why I’m typing all this out, maybe to just get it all straight in my head. I also need to make two strawberry cakes… one to leave for mom as a surprise when she gets home friday night from work (I’ll get some balloons and flowers too) and one to take to Dallas for Matt. AND I planned to make some taquitos and some chicken pockets for the dallas trip so we can grab them… and some deli stuff. I get tired of eating fast food down there. I do like our outing to el fenix though. yum.
So, this is what I’m doing today… going to the store… lunch with Mike at Old Germany again (I cute and highlighted his hair yesterday so he’s taking me to lunch today)… Izzy’s school… packing!!! So, tomorrow I can concentrate on making cakes and food for the weekend and finish the packing etc. Oh, and get amanda’s birth certificate! I’m praying that passport comes today so I can scratch that off my list! I laid in bed last night, usually as soon as Matt and I finish our prayer I am asleep… but, I just kept running through my to do list until I finally fell asleep.
If you have read all this really boring stuff all the way to this point I really should give you a prize or something… you are a true friend.
