Peace and quiet

Happy Friday!

I am glad that I am able to participate in the extended work week. While I do have to work 45 hours in a week, it means that the next week I can have a three day weekend. Today is the first day of my three days off. Tonight I am heading over to my friend Staci's house for an Uppercase Living demonstration. It's a neat concept, and I am anxious to see what they can do for me since you can customize your order. Other than that, the only other scheduled event is a haircut for my Haley Belle. It won't be a drastic cut, just some layers on the bottom to lighten the load on her little head. She gets sweaty at the drop of a hat and she needs some relief. Plus, she wants to go to the place I go to and I wanted to treat her since she hasn't gotten to do a lot of the things that her big sisters did this summer.

Tomorrow Ben and Haley will drive up to Oklahoma to pick up the two big kiddos. Everyone will be home together on Sunday. Rebecca has been at camp and then straight to Grammie's so she hasn't been home for three weeks. I think she is ready to be back. What will I do while everyone is gone? Whatever I want!! :) I am going to try to sneak some scrap booking in while Alexander naps, and we are definitely going to swim in the pool without anyone bothering us. This boy LOVES to be in the water. I am amazed at how well he gets around the pool. He is in a little ring and as soon as his feet hit the water they are kicking up a storm. He tootles around the shallow end without a care in the world and at the end of the day you don't hear a peep out of him because he is dead tired. Then, it will be time for me to do more scrappin!

A lot of you have asked me about the bank account. Yes, they have given us a credit for all the money that was stolen. We are supposed to go in and talk to our branch manager tomorrow to ask about the investigation and whether or not we need to file a police report. There hasn't been any more money taken out of the account, thank goodness. The grand total was $715 and change. We would have been really screwed if this had happened to us a year ago. Thanks for the emails, it made me feel loved.

On Tuesday Ben called me right as I was heading out of my office for home. He asked if he could take me out for a date that night. I was so surprised! I called mom and she said to drop the kids off and they could have dinner and swim while we were out. We went to see the new Batman movie. It was a late night, but it was so worth it. I was happy to be out with my love, we saw a good movie, and got to talk to each other about something other than budgets,kids, or work.
