Um, Where did the days go already??

I have been asking myself where the days are going these days.

Time just leaps by.

For those of you that may not know Duner's old job, Hoffmaster, laid him off last Wednesday for 'improper two week notice'. Did you know that you can get fired for not giving notice? He had to work the 'NEW' job on Monday and Tuesday, so he called in (still had over 8 points to go before getting fired with 10 points). But Wednesday when he showed up to work, they 'released him' because it is immoral to work two jobs with benefits.' Um. What benefits? He worked BJ's for 7 years, without a problem.
Well, We will see what union's are good for. We have been paying over $40 bucks a month for union dues, over 6 years, so they 'may file a grievance' with the company to see if we can still get insurance for the month of June. He has a meeting tomorrow with the company and union to discuss this.
Honestly, I am relieved to not have to juggle 2 full time jobs. (even though one we were hoping to not have to work, since he actually listened to me this time and signed up for the unemployment so we can keep the insurance) If we have to go without insurance through June and July, oh well. Well just punt and say a few prayers...
Things are going well at the new job. I think he actually has to work more than at Hoffmaster, so he is going into shock a bit more than he is used to, but he really likes the fact they have A/C in the plant, unlike Hoffmaster.

This week I am off work from the clinic all week to play bus driver/taxi for my kids and their events.
The bus needs to leave promptly at 7:45am...
Zeb... Class #1 @ School #1 at 8am
Pick up at 9:45am
Class #2 @ School #2 at 1pm
Pick up at 3:15
Reece ...Class #3 @ School #3 at 8am
Pick up at 10am
Class #4 @ School #1 at 10am
Pick up at Noon
Class #5 @ YMCA at 6pm on Tuesday and Thursday
Brock ... Class #6 @ School #3 at 8am
Pick up at 9am

Rinse, Lather and Repeat.

Thankfully I found someone for the kids to carpool with for part of it. I am glad the kids are staying active this summer, so I really don't mind doing it. Reece has already improved on his Health fitness assessment at school, and he tends to be the 'leader' when it comes to his brothers.

Last week he rode his bike with Brock into town (we forced Brock to go with to get some exercise). 7+ miles. Later that day, when Reece wouldn't pick up his socks I said' Don't worry, I will do it I only ran 5 miles today, what did you do?" He said "I biked over SEVEN!" Hmm. Ok. He also had a rough soccer practice, I will give him that.
Plus Brock really made him work hard to keep up with him. I just don't understand how Brock can do so well when he does so little. Exercise seems so easy for him. Grrr. Reece must take after me. Poor kid.
The kids already spent MUCH MORE TIME outside this year than they did last year. It probably helps that we have kicked them out of the basement for our remodel.

Speaking of our remodel, we are hoping to get some work done this week with the new found free time without the 2nd full time job! Woo Hoo, here we come electrical... We are in need of some catch up time... We should have been hanging drywall this weekend.
We were going to take the kids to a local Drive In theater to see Kung Fo Panda and Ironman (double feature), but it was closed due to the storms. We rescheduled it to Tuesday night (if the rain doesn't come again).

Oh and one more quick item... We had 'Lil Anglers' this weekend. It was pouring, but they canceled the fishing part due to the lighting in the area, but they still had the food and prizes. My kids picks were: water guns for Zeb, Reece got a hula hoop and Brock picked a HUGE Styrofoam airplane that was a big hit with all three kids.
