We've been having trouble with our phone lines and internet since we moved in August, but since the last guy who was here didn't really do anything and locked his keys in his truck, I've been reluctant about scheduling another maintenance appointment and stopping my life from 8 to 5 waiting for some guy to show up. But, it finally died completely and we were forced to make a service call. We needed some filters on our phone lines and a new modem, which ironically, is what the original guy was going to his truck to get when he locked himself out. After feeling incomplete and watching the children wandering aimlessly around the house for a few days all the while dying to know if anyone needed to be my friend on facebook, it's nice to be reconnected to the WWW.
We had a great Thanksgiving yesterday with Kevin's dad, stepmom, and brother. Uncle Weve (aka Steve) is here for the rest of the weekend. Right now, he's at the movies with the boys. It's a well known fact that I don't buy drinks or snacks at the movies so Nathan was packing a little backpack with a capri sun and a snack. Steve told him to put it away because he would buy him anything he wanted at the movie which will raise Uncle Weve's hero status even higher around here.
Tomorrow morning, the girls and I are headed to Dallas for a few days. I have a list of things I need to shop for there that are either not available or not as inexpensive here as I can buy them there. The main reason I'm going though is because I need a break from my reality--homeschool, work, household stuff, buying groceries..... I learned a long time ago that it's better for everyone if I take a break every once in a while and recharge. The girls will be staying with their best friends there and I'll be staying with Liz which is strategically close to Ikea, Stonebriar center, the outlet mall, the galleria, Harry Hines wholesale shopping.....
