Today was a pretty good day, chilly and rainy, but good. I got up with Ryan this morning at 6am. He got ready for school and layed back down on the couch (with me on the other one). Then we both preceeded to doze off and I didn't wake up until 7:20, which is 5 minutes after the bus comes. So, then I had to drive him over the school and drop him off. I awoke Andrew before I left and luckily he actually got up, so I didn't have to deal with him still sleeping when I got back. He headed out on time, so all was well from there. Then I took care of some phone calls (Verizon-No you can't get Fios; Brighthouse-It's not us, it's you; 2nd call to Joni at the Urologist's office to schedule Andrew's surgery- still no call back; and CVS to refill some Rxs) and claimed my weeks for my big unemployment check online. Denise called to update me on the latest info regarding our new job. She also sent me a couple of emails, one with some info for our new hire paperwork and one with an add from Craigslist for a computer, monitor, printer, laser mouse, desk and chair. The computer meets more the requirements system-wise for the job. She's awesome!!! I'm going to check into it further tomorrow. I did some running around looking for the right weekly planners for Rogie and I. We both need one for 2009. I've been spoiled b/c for years I've been able to get them through my jobs, but now I'm screwed. I have to actually buy one myself. :) They're not cheap either. I was suprised at the cost. Anyway, I managed to keep Ryan off the X-box marathons by limited him to 1 hour today. That was after homework was done, of course. My Ensy came by to change the oil in his car, so I got to see him a bit and we'll all be together at Nan and Grandpa's for dinner tomorrow night. Ryan and Andrew watched Death Wish, yes Charles Bronson circa 1973, after dinner tonight. Old school, I love it! Then, once we started the "getting ready for bed" process, I began to put my living room back together. Yea!!!! I took all the Christmas decor down last week and put it away, except for the naked tree, which Rogie was kind enought to take care of Sunday night. So for almost two days my living room was still the aftermath of Christmas. Furniture was not where it belonged, needles all over the carpet and the tree is fake, what's up with that? So I cleaned, vaccuumed, moved furniture and I feel it resembles a living room again. I do need to note that the corner the computer is in, is not included in this story and therefore also deleted from the pictures. :) Well, I have to make my way toward the bedroom now. It's about that time. Goodnight.
