Another two - days that is
--- WEDNESDAY 02 August 2006
Nothing special so far. Just working here at Peopleclick. Quite boring if I must say. Ate lunch at my desk as usual. Hot outside. 100 F - heat index they say near 110 F. Felt like a furnace when I stepped outside for a break. Had my first walk down Fayetteville street mall with traffic on it. Felt very odd compared to the four years I have seen nothing.
Amanda went to the kids consignment sale today after she picked Keegan up from school. Today was the day that it's 50% off I think it is, so she was going to see what's left. She always loves a bargain as do I.

Today was a work day, but what made it nice was that it was a 'work from home' day for me. I had to watch the boys as Amanda was scheduled to fill in at Dr. Dunsmoor's office from 7:30am until about 6pm. It's always a long day there for her because the office never stays on schedule, but the people are nice and she knows the routine. Work went good for her, but she never got to take a lunch, which is ridiculous. Thankfully it's only 1 or 2 days per month otherwise she wouldn't continue to work there with a schedule like that. It's nice extra money for us, and we never count on it because we can't tell when she will work. Sometimes they call her the day before, othertimes she will have a three week notice. It looks like Amanda will start working there on a permanent part-time bases in September sometime, for two days a month which is what she was looking for. Even three or four days max would be OK if needed. Got to meet Keegan at his bus stop in the afternoon - my second time in doing so (first was the first time he ever took the school bus). That's a nice treat since I don't get those special moments much.
Nothing much else happened today. Gave the boys a bath after I finished with my work and before Amanda came home and then they got a treat - when we were at Walmart this past weekend I bought a package of those stars that glow in the dark and have a sticky back. So I let them hand the stars all over their walls (the ceiling is popcorn type so they won't hold), then we left their light on to 'charge' them while they brushed their teeth. They loved it - and so did I. The stars looked really neat actually, and we will pick up another package so that they aren't spread so far apart in the room.
While the boys were laying in bed before story time, Keegan said out of the blue "Slow and steady wins the race" Huh?? Amanda and I both turned and asked him and sure enough he repeated it. Huge grins filled our faces. Keegan then told us the whole story about the tortise and hare, quite accurately too! It's times like that I wish I wish I wish I could record. I keep trying to remind myself to 'sneak' in my mp3 voice recorder to capture some of those moments, but I keep forgetting. Maybe tonight (which is Aug 2nd as I write this) I'll remember!
