Be happy for the little things. The moments that mean the most to you. Don't worry about the future, and leave the past in the past, and remember that this moment is the only one that is for sure. Don't waste it. It's not worth it. I'm learning this still, and i'm sure i've got a long lesson ahead of me. We will see.
Today was crazy busy. Not bad, but busy. I woke up a little late and had to kind of rush around to get Ivy's stuff ready for school. i like the fact that she takes her lunch to school. Even though we can get free lunches, this way we know she's always taking something that she likes to eat. And i pack enough that she eats it for lunch, and still has something already for an after school snack. It works out pretty well. And then we walked her to school, and she went in without a hitch again, which is nice.
Then we went and cashed Ruben's paycheck. We picked up some more painkillers, and came home. I started cleaning a bit on the house, we did lunch, and then we all laid down and took a nap. I didn't let myself have a very long one, because i wanted to have the time when they were asleep and Ivy was at school to really hit the house hard. I got quite a bit done on Ivy's bedroom. Hopefully i can crack it out tomorrow without too much trouble. i'm staying up a little late tonight to get the rest of the house done tonight. I'm at least going to get the Kitchen, Living room, and both bathrooms almost completely done. I say almost, because i will probably "mop" them all, and that requires me to get down with a washcloth and some soap and do it by hand since we don't have a mop right now. I need to take care of that soon. Oh well. And then tomorrow morning i can crack out Ivy's bedroom and the rest of the little things i can't get done tonight. I'm sure it will be great.
Then we walked up and picked Ivy up from school. She had a really good day again, which is good to hear, and she was super excited about the open house that they had this afternoon. then we came home, worked on the house for an hourish, and then we walked back over there and went to the open house. She got her art stuff and papers they had done, and then we went to the rest of the rooms she goes to during the week. The school she attends is a tier 1 school, which means they do a lot of things that most regular public schools don't do. They have a seperate writing class, a drama class, an art "studio" (which is a really awesome art room that has all the art stuff they will ever need. I'm jealouse, lol) And they take Dance too. It's really good. And they also have another character building type class where they learn all the things they need to know, like to be trustworthy, dependable, honest, etc. It's really nice to see her enjoying it so much. She was so ready to take me around and show me EVERY single class and teacher that she deals with, and it's quite a bit more than i realized. It's good practice though for when she hits middle school. They will have all the seperate classes, and i think that as she gets used to this school a little more, that she will actually like it even more than Country estates. I'm more attracted to country estates, but i believe it's more of a sentimental thing instead of the actual school thing, ya know? Whatever though, no biggie. I know it's going to be great for her.
we checked the mail after the school, and got a packet of paperwork that i was kinda expecting. It was the paperwork for the court case for the car accident. We knew when they refused to even pay the amount of the doctors and treatment that we were going to have a struggle. So now they are searching for things that don't match, or that they don't believe was necessicary. I know that i didn't do anything that i didn't need to do. And i actually didn't do some of the things that were recommended, that would have ended up costing them a lot more. They need to just suck it up and pay, because it's stupid to drag it on even longer. On top of the medical bills they are going to have to pay court costs too now. Sometimes i wonder about people. Stop being so fucking selfish. you cover these people specifically for things like this. Believe you me, you will lose. I haven't lied, i have suffered, my children have suffered, and it's made my life a living hell for the last nine months wondering if we were going to be able to make it with the added car payments and insurance and all that shit. And just the waiting game was getting to be so stressful that it wasn't worth it. So i had to fill all that out, which freaked me out at first until i sat down and really read through it. It's mostly about things that we have already discussed but they just need them down in writing. And i'll provide pictures of the car and of my injuries. So hopefully with it going to court, they can prove it the way it needs to be proven, and the judge will make them settle for more than they would have offered anyway. It would be nice to get a pretty good settlement. I doubt it will happen, but we will see. And hey, a girl can dream right? lol. Neway, moving on.
Also in the mail was the form for the DHS saying that we have to do our recert stuff. That means i've got to get all the information together again to take up to them. I need a letter stating i'm not working, the last months paycheck stubs, the last months bank statement, etc. not difficult to get together, i've just got to remember where i put some of the stuff, eek! lol. I guess that's my fault for not keeping up with it as well as i was at the house. I guess there's just a ton more on my plate right now. We will see what happens right?
Tomorrow my Mom, Sister, and her kids are coming down to visit :) That makes me happy. I've been stupid homesick for the last couple weeks, and getting to see them will be nice. It might make the homesickness worse, but it might make it better too, so i'm hopeing for the latter, haha. We are gonna hang around tomorrow afternoon/evening. They got a room up at Ruben's hotel, so we can go swimming, and we might go down to the canal and get some pictures and let the kids play and maybe get some kind of treat. There are plenty of options down there now, which is great. And it's nice because they are all different. The Bricktown candy company has the WALL of candy, the italian ice, and the WALL of sodas. The Peachwave store has frozen yogurt of all kinds of flavors and every topping you can think of, and they charge by the ounce, so if you don't want too much, you don't have to pay for a ton. And then the Marble slab has the homemade ice cream and all the mixins they 've got. All three so different, and it's nice because there will always be something different to try and do. And then Saturday morning we are going to go to the zoo. That's gonna be fun, since Mhorgan and Mackenzie haven't been to the zoo yet, and we have the new children's zoo. Ivy and Desiree love it there, and we've already been twice now, lol. We went on two way back wednesdays, which was nice. We got to watch the sea lion show, got to play at the childrens zoo, and got to look at all the animals they like to look at. And saturday morning is supposed to be beautiful, so it should be really nice. And then we will probably do Lunch and they will head home. I'm gonna miss them for sure when they leave. I'm just hopeing that we can get my medical settlement before December and we can make a trip down there before the end of the year. That would be nice. We will see though. IDK.
So for now, i'm gonna jump off here, type up something for Ruben to print off for me, and then finish cleaning what i can get done. Wish me luck, lol. LATERS
