This weekend we were kids-free! It was sooo nice. BB & M went to their grandparents and then Kelley & J came over to our place late Friday night. We each got to spend the evening with our spouses and then all day Saturday all together. Kelley & I shopped (after some much over-do girl on girl action) while Cheesemeister & J played XBox. Then we all went out for dinner at a Japanese Hibachi grill and Kelley & put on pajamas and we all went to see "The Other Guys." I think J was the only one of us who really liked it. There were a few funny parts, but mostly it was kind of lame. Sunday we got up, went out to breakfast and walked down to the Farmer's market a few blocks from our house. Kelley & J had to leave around 11:30 to meet her parents and pick up M. It was nice hanging out with each other and not worrying about what the girls were doing, who was watching them, if they had eaten, giving baths, reading kids books, having to edit what we say, do, watch on TV, etc. We used to try and do a kids-free weekend monthly, but I think it had been awhile since we'd had one. It was much needed.
I have some exciting news. I was offered a new job at a large university hospital about an hour away from where we live. It's about 1/2 hour from Kelley & J. The money is better and the benefits are awesome. Since Cheesemeister isn't working, he and BB can't currently get health insurance through my job, but I will be able to insure them at my new job. I'm happy about that, plus it's a HUGE clinic, with lots of doctors and tons of learning opportunities. I'm really excited about it, though not excited about an hour long drive. Cheesemeister and I will both be driving an hour away, to the same area (his school is in the neighboring town to where I'll be working). However, as I've mentioned, the housing market sucks so badly right now that we owe more on the house than it's worth... So, we're stuck here for awhile. Maybe in a year or so, there will be some miracle and our house will go up in value so that we could at least walk away even... *hopes*
Cheesemeister will finish his semester this week and then have a couple weeks off. BB starts kindergarten in September. It's going to be a lot of new adjustments for her in a short period of time. I hope she handles it okay. CM is worried about her and starting to think about Young 5's rather than kindergarten. I don't know. I think I'd like to see how she does in Kindergarten. She's definitely smart enough, just not sure if she's socially ready.
Hmm...that's about it. Wouldn't it be nice if someone besides me wrote on here? Yeah, I think so too.... ;-)
