Yikes!! Cold Shower!!

So, this morning I got up early to get ready to make a trip to Chicago to visit family. I headed for the shower and woke up quickly when I discovered that we didn't have any hot water! After a little investigating in the basement, I discoved the problem. When Zach and Andrea were doing laundry yesterday, one of the grandkids must have decided to turn some knobs on the water heater! An easy fix, but...bbbbrrrrrrrrr!!

Overwhelmed

I started my new job this week. I will admit that I am totally overwhelmed. To walk into a place with no one to do orientation with me is tough. The office is clutter from one corner to the next. One of the board members has done enough organizing to be able to pay bills and do payroll, but it is 20 something years of clutter. (The previous director passed away a few months ago after a long illness.)

We will be having a board meeting on Monday to make some decisions on some much needed policy changes, I will be getting Internet installed sometime in the next week, I'm scheduled for several classes that are required, and an electrician came out today to replace some light fixtures and switches that were pretty scary.

I've also had the opportunity to watch the teachers in action and to get to know the kids. This is going to be such a long road. I know that I need to pace myself and not to get discouraged. I'll admit though that I'm kind of having fun:)

Moving Day!

Zach and Andrea moved this past weekend to a new apartment. Jeff and a couple of guys from church helped them Friday afternoon. Andrea's mom kept Bryce for the weekend so I helped out with Hailey on Friday and again Saturday. They now live right downtown above the cleaners. It is a nice apartment with 12 foot ceilings and huge windows. They are living in the new place but still working on getting the other apartment emptied out. They have discovered that packing with little ones is not an easy process. The kids have also had a few rough nights getting used to a new place.
