Around these parts...

This past Saturday we were out past the kid's bedtime. So of course they fell asleep on the way home. Did we gently change them into pajamas? No! Do I look like a crazy lady? The boys went to their own beds but at five in the morning I finally gave up the good fight to have some space in the bed.

Last Thursday was Eve's last day of preschool. She is so excited that she gets to be a kindergartener (mostly because that means she isn't stuck on the baby playground anymore). She filled out this about me form and she says she wants to be a ballerina/teacher when she grows up. The most hilarious thing on her about me thing was what she answered for something that she loves to do.... cleaning toilets!! She really does love it... she is always begging me to clean them but I didn't think it was that high on her list of fun things to do.

The most hilarious thing I have been doing lately is my mission to spend our health care reimbursement account money. For some reason we thought it would be good to contribute enough to cover our deductible... sounds logical to me. If anything we thought that we would still end up paying some expenses. Instead the way it has worked out with the boys having the secondary insurance that they have means we did not need to contribute as much as we did. So I thought the quickest way to spend it before the end of the month (when it will just disappear) is to order glasses. After all for a month I was stuck with a pair of glasses that were missing one stem... I called them my trendy opera glasses. So I ordered a pair for me and a pair for Ian. Man it felt good to chip away at a big chunk of our hcra account. The next day they call and say that there was a problem with my order but not to worry they are discounting my order to help compensate for the problem. Then again I called today with a problem and sure enough more money came off the bill. I finally said "Listen up, I don't want more discounted I just want my order and my receipt to match!" I know it is a good problem to have but it is very difficult to spend this money when people keep on trying to be nice. So if you see me clearing the shelves of all the colorful bandaids at Walmart, you now know why.
