So we are searching for a daycare
for Nikolai when summer ends. We have
been very blessed this summer by having Don watch the kids while we are at
work. So we are looking for other
options for when summer does end, as Don will be returning to school. I joined Care.Com and was able to put a job
posting online and I have had people respond to it. We have had one interview from it so
far. I really liked her and I think she
would be a good match for Nikolai, but we have two more interviews next week to
see if all of the options. We also talked to a couple of daycare
facilities that we are touring next week to investigate this option as
well. I would like Nikolai to be in a facility
b/c I think he would REALLY LIKE it and he would enjoy the socialization. I think it would also help his speech development
as well. So the search will continue
until we find the best fit. The problem
will be space as both locations we spoke with, although they are in our cost
range, they do not have space, so they put us on the waiting list. But both of them want us to tour. So I don’t know if that’s just what they tell
parents so they can interview them first or if they truly don’t have
space. I guess we shall see.
The search for the perfect school
I’m also investigating some other
options as far as graduate school for myself.
I sent a request to Purdue to see what kind of requirements they would
need and to start taking the tests for grad school. I really would like to grow my education b/c
I think it would only open more opportunities for myself and my career. I’m looking in this area as well for schools
and finding out what kind of schools and programs that they offer. Just looking for additional education and
opening so more options for myself. My
job right now is pretty easy and don’t get me wrong I definitely need that, but
I want to expand my horizons and I think that this will be a great route to do
that.
The search for the perfect balance
So I started another blog, which is
my weight loss blog. I don’t know if you
can see it or not… doesn’t really matter. I have jumped on the workout train and let me
tell you… yikes am I OUT OF SHAPE. Tait
and I work out with a personal trainer 1 day a week and she gives us HELL and
then we follow that routine the rest of the week. We are working out 5-6 days a week and my
body HURTS. It usually takes me about 2
- 3 days to recover, which is totally sucky!
I am also trying to eat better.
I am entering my food in Lose It again which is so crappy. I hate watching what I eat… but I NEED IT SOOOO BADLY. I mean it does me no good to work out like a
slave and then eat like a horse… I mean the two have to have balance. So I’m searching for balance.
The search for the bottom of the
boxes
So we are allllll moved in. Tait is now here all the time. THANK GOOOOOODNESS! So we are still shifting through boxes and
putting stuff away. Tait moved some of
the boxes to the attic and told me that if I wanted them they were close. My issue that I’m having is the lack of
having places to put things. I am really
used to having closets and this house seriously lacks closets so most of the
stuff is just staying in a box. But even
like spare winter blankets or even spare sheets… no closets. There isn’t even a lien closet for the
bathroom so towels, soap, even shampoo I have made a bookshelf a “closet” and
have been putting stuff on that. It’s
kind of annoying b/c I like hiding that kind of thing. Oh well though what are you going to do. We also got all of our appliances up and
running so we can wash our clothes and cook our food now. So goodnews on the home front.
