After nearly a month on vacation I am back. :) my updates from last time. Camp GonnaWannaFly fizzled out 'cause I got sick. Oh well, there's always next year. Goldfish however, did like his routine charts so they are still up. Cheese is officially a toddler now. He toddles every where and will walk all the way up the big ramp out sidle the building we live in to our 8th floor apartment (with an elevator ride). He's so big now. My parents and brother came to visit. We had been having problems with flooding and what not, so we had them come "camp" in our house instead of in thier camper. So we moved in to the big bed room with Goldfish and Cheese, and my parents stayed in our bed room with my brother. it all worked fine. I however could have never done it with out my routines and my Swish and Swipe. It did well to motivate me to do more decluttering. I also managed to get my bedroom cleaned.

Now after taking some time off and getting into the swing of being at summer school (I am working with 4th grade math.) I am getting back at it. We will be moving in less than one month. We are going to move out of our apt on August 8th, and we get keys to our new place August 12th. Any one see a problem here? I do! there's 5 days between the two. How did that happen? well in signing our new lease we signed it to move in on the day that our old lease was to be ended. did that happen??? NO! when we let our land lords (University housing) know that we would not be renewing our lease they then said that we needed to be out by the 8th. So we had already decided to hire movers. it was nearly impossible to move in, so now we are moving and the kids will be in daycare, and we will move out or in while they are not around. and we will have 3 guys to help us. The moving company will also store our stuff. I think we will get a small U-haul (or something) to move the stuff out of our storage unit.

We also still do not know which unit we will be in because the owner who signed our contract with us, did not bother to let her office manager know that she moved our date up a bit from thier standard 16th. but hopefully sooooooon they will know so we can call and get in the plans for utilities to be turned on.

The other thing we have going is the insurance stuff. still... however our "list" of items has been approved. We are waiting to hear the final answer on the furniture still. As in they want us to have it repaired, and we want it replaced because I know that it can NOT be repaired to the quality it was BEFORE this whole mess. So we are still fighting this out. We now have a lawyer through the University's free legal system. Hopefully this will help. The other issue on having the furniture repaired is that, the guy who's supposed to repair it wants to do this at our house. I don't want that mess in my house, I don't want those chemicals, or tools in my house. SOOOOOO I think I might see about getting a second opinion, and an appraisal. (and if you haven't guessed the furniture isn't wal-mart press wood, it's vintage Ethan Allen that has been passed down in my family, it was originally my grandparents, then my parents, now mine. I wanted to pass it on to my boys, but now I want new so I can pass that on, as this is trashed furniture.) so last night I talked to the lady who went through our list, and I was told I could expect a call from our claims representative tonight. Well when my Husband called them he found out that she will be out until Monday. SOOOO we wait again.

Well I am going to go and leave somethings for tomorrow to write.
