Well! August has been quite the whirlwind & it only just began. Got new windows installed the first week of August & in the midst of that we had a slab leak! Crimony. Fortunately it was a small one, but seriously, is a slab leak ever small? We had to file a claim with our insurance company, which freaked us out... it sucks, you pay Homeowners Insurance all these years and when you have to use it, you freak out because you are afraid they will drop you. AAA assured us that wouldn't happen & we have been very happy with the service, although it is taking forever to put my house back together. I've still got holes in my walls & ceiling & my carpet is thrashed. On the bright side, our entertainment center is totalled so I'm going furniture shopping... Yippie! Anyway, I'm told the guys will be out this week to replace walls & baseboards, paint & clean the carpet.
On a happy note, the kids are going back to school in a few weeks. Man, it has been a long summer. They have been pretty busy, but they are never busy enough. Marley will start 2nd grade & I'm anxious to find out who her teacher will be. After Ms. Davis, it will be hard to compare. Ty is in Pre-K... He will be 5 in October & although he's makes the cut, he's not emotionally ready for Kindergarten. I'd rather he be a bit older than younger & it will help him with sports as well. I know so many kids that have been held back & I don't want him to be one of them.
Also, Marley learned to ride her bike w/o training wheels! I was thinking this day would never come. Once she got over the fear of falling, she was fine. Now she is like her brother & covered head to toe in scrapes & bruises! It is so amazing how they change. She went from last month, scared to death to ride her bike, to now, riding with 1 hand and going off ramps. Crazy.
