Lalalala part 2
1 - Jamers finally got a new job working at a company he has worked for before up here making $1/hr more than when he worked there previously. This is an answer to a prayer that has been going for a year and a half! Downside is it's swing shift but we'll work through that issue - more important to keep the house.
2 - Loan Mod has still NOT gone through. We keep jumping through hoops for Bank of America. The evil Kelly bit who has been living in hell for the last 7 months wondering if she was going to keep her house wants the loan mod to go through and them not to find out about the new higher paying job. Really we don't even know how long the company is going be in business in this economy and technically Jamers is only part time. So we'll see after a couple of weeks how it is panning out before we say anything methinks.
3 - Xander continues to be awesome and now enjoys being read to and books. He'll pick them up and bring them over for Jamers or I to read to him. He loses interest quickly, but he just picks up another and brings it over.
4 - Xander is totally an outdoor kid. Even if its 40 and raining he points out the sliding glass door and babbles excitedly. When I have to say not today, he throws a fit. He knows that most times if socks go on shoes are next and going outside is right after that. In fact, if he really wants outside, he'll go find his shoes bring them over and start holding up his little feet. He is so fricken adorable.
5 - We've (Xandman and I) have been coloring off and on. Just Sunday was his first real squiggles back and forth, though he has done some artwork at daycare. Usually he just tries to eat the crayons, knowing I'm going to say "Not in the mouth" and he'll look at me, like I'm going to do it anyways and slowly he'll bring the crayon up to his mouth staring at me the whole time. Needless to say this battle goes off and on for about 5 minutes then I finally say, since you only want to eat the crayons they are going away and I put them back on the shelf. He gets upset, but oh well he'll learn eventually right? And when he wants to color he'll point up at the shelf where the paper and crayons are and babble excitedly.
6 - He doesn't really say any words yet and that worries me. He'll babble Dadadda and Momomoma but he doesn't really appear to understand what they mean. Sometimes it seems like he does, but then nothing. He does the same thing with waving "Hi" and saying "Hi". I'm hoping his vocab will start soon given though his body is ripped (calves like his father, pure fricken muscle and shoulders an biceps that you can see) and his intellect in other areas, I'm thinking vocab is just going to take a little bit longer.
7 - Can't remember when I last posted - we got bonuses at work. Paid off the hospital bill :)
8 - Getting $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ back in taxes this year. Going to stuff it back into savings and see how loan mod works out before moving ahead with spending any of it. We still owe Jamer's dad a butt load of money and the one credit card, but the house needs minor repairs, and goddesss knows we need a stove that works correctly and has all 4 burners. We'll just sit on it until everything plays out that is the best option right now.
9 - Going to walk in the Making Strides walk on Saturday May 8. Gotta get all my info together to send out. Need to pay bills but need info from Jamers to do it gosh darn it, not sure when I'll see him again.
10 - Jamers is working two basically full time jobs right now, he leaves at 5:20 in the morning for the job he has had for the last 4 months, than drives straight over to new job to work until 11 or 12 or whenever the work gets done. Hence the comment above don't know when I'm going to see him again. He'll only be working two jobs for the next couple of weeks so that he leaves the one on good terms and is eligible for rehire should he need to go back.
