Wow, has it really been 10 days since my last post? So much has happened, and so much has YET to happen. As stated in the title, tomorrow is moving day. The past week, we have been packing boxes almost every night. We finally came to a point where we were unable to pack anything else because it was all things we still needed. Call me crazy, but I even created a menu for the week, figured out what pots and pans I needed to make the items, then packed everything else. So literally, we only have what we are using to pack tomorrow....moving starts early, around 8am and I am super excited to me moving. Not only because I hate having our neighbors cigarette smoke come into our open windows, but also because it adds to our "WEEK OF THINGS NEW" New house, and a new job for me, and things are finally finalized with the office. The "Week of things new" will represent a new beginning and hopefully less stress. CANT WAIT!!!
I am now starting to work with Ian in the office as his new Office Manager. Today, was a sad day to see Kristen, Ian's 1st Office Manager leave. She has done a GREAT JOB since she started working there. Ive trained with her the past week, and now feel pretty confident about everything. I just hope I don't get to overwhelmed when I go to do it all on my own.
The girls are feeling better. It was nice to see Taylor smiling and moving around again. Her teeth have yet to break through her gums, but they don't seem to be bothering her as much anymore. Oh, and Joanna has two coming in as well.... next thing I know, Abigail's will probably start falling out. :) Then we will just have teeth everywhere.
Well, I'm sure Ive probably put off getting ready to move long enough, so UNTIL NEXT TIME!

Lots happening.
Well, my apt with the neurosurgeon did not go as I thought... it seemed as though the doctor just wanted to get me out of the office as quickly as possible. But, Good news is that I don't need surgery yet and he says that getting the Vax-D and staying under Upper Cervical care should help out. He prescribed 4 different meds to take for the pain and inflammation to take everyday, but I think I'm only going to take them on bad days (I made it this long without meds, why start now?)
Ive been a little stressed lately because the Ellwood City house did not work for out for us, and when we called the Lyndora house to say we would take it, the landlord decided he didn't want to rent from us, because he assumed we were going to take it and then when we told him we were still looking, he got mad. But, it was actually good, because now I am going to be working with Ian in his office and having a place closer would be so much better than having a 30 minute drive to work each day....especially when we will be bringing the girls with us. The past few days, Ive been searching online for houses, town homes, and even apt for rent within a 20min drive to the office. This weekend, Ian and I went to SO many of them to check them out. I was very disappointed in what we were seeing, and was ready to give up. We had one more place to go see, and it was one that we did a drive by last month, but it looked run down, so I didn't want to check it out...well, we went inside and I fell in LOVE... its one of those houses that are built into the ground to save on heat and a/c, so it doesn't look so great on the outside..there is a garden so it has potential if I can clean it up....the inside is great! when you first walk in there is a Kitchen, dining room and family room all in one big area. When you walk up about 6 steps, there is another family room with a large porch. There is also a bathroom and small bedroom or office off the room. When you walk up another 6 steps, there is 2 bedrooms connected with a small balcony and then down the hall, there is a very nice laundry room, large bathroom with double sinks, and the master bedroom. Since the house was built into the ground, there are no windows except on one side of the house, but there are skylights in almost every room. I really wished we would have checked it out last month, that way i wouldn't have been so stressed lately. Now its time to pack everything and get ready to move in 2 weeks...
Our garage sale went well. We made about $75. I'm super happy because we were just going to get rid of everything, so making $75 is GREAT. We closed the garage a little early on Saturday so that we could go around and check out everyone else's sales...we got a grill for $15 and a few other things for the girls.
Everyone is still sick. It seems as though we just cant get rid of this cold. Poor Taylor seems to have it the worst. She still has a bad cough and to top everything off, she is getting FOUR more teeth. She seems so miserable, but still cracks a smile here and there. she is such a little trooper.
Well, I have a ton to do today, so as always, UNTIL NEXT TIME.

Slacking
So I have been slacking a little on blogging...sorry. Things have just been so crazy here the past few weeks. The community garage sale is this weekend, and I am still not ready for it. I have all the items I want to sell IN the garage, but they are not displayed or priced... then Ive started packing...little by little out house is looking emptier. We still have two weeks before we need to be out of here, but if I don't start packing now, I don't think Ill be done in time. Ian is spending more time at the office, and at screenings so he can only help in the evenings after the girls go to bed, but that only leaves about an hour....not much time... And as of tomorrow, Ill be going to the office to train because Ian's office manager is leaving. Looks like the girls will be spending some time at the office....Not sure how all that will work out, but we gotta do what we gotta do, right?!?! And the day we received the lease from the Lyndora house, Ian saw another in Ellwood City, that was cheaper and closer to the office...we checked it out, and grabbed an application. Unfortunately, the Lyndora house re posted an ad in the paper on Monday, so there is a possibility that while we are waiting to hear back from the Ellwood city house, that we could lose the Lyndora house... Personally, I like the Lyndora house a little better, but if we can get the Ellwood City one, Ian would be home sooner and we would be saving more money....its only for another year or so....I can handle it.....Don't get me wrong, they are both nice, but I just like one a tiny bit better than the other, that's all....
Well, I'm going to put some more boxes together now, so Ill try to post again tomorrow after my appointment with the Nero-surgeon.... Until next time.

Vax-D
So the past week has been full of activity. I was cleaning house, getting ready for our family guests, been organizing items for the garage sale, getting things in order for the move, and been dealing with back pain. Oh, and I made a cake with a Marathon Theme. It didnt turn out quite how I hoped, but it still looks pretty good.I went to the VAX-D doctor yesterday, only to learn its going to cost a TON of money, that we just cant afford at this time, and that my only remaining option is surgery. :( I have an apt with the neurosurgeon next Thursday.
I spent most of the past 12 hours in pain. Last night before going to bed, my whole left side began to hurt. Ice did nothing for the pain, and I had a terrible time trying to sleep. When I woke this morning, I couldn't put any weight on my arm, or lift myself out of bed. I felt bad, but had to call Ian to come home and help. He canceled a few patients and came home. We got the girls ready, then he took all of us back to the office so that he could see a couple patients before lunch.
Now back at home, i am trying to relax while the girls are napping, but cant help but think of everything that need to get done by months end.
Just got a phone call from Ian saying he is going to give the VAX-D doc free care in exchange for 15 VAX-d treatments as opposed to the 25 recommended.. Now we just need to find a babysitter to watch the girls while I go for the visits..
Well, I'm going to try to take a nap while I can. UNTIL NEXT TIME
