House Report

Yesterday I went by the house since it's on my way back from dropping the girls off at school.  There were actually people there doing work.  One guy was installing insulation and the other guys were discussing important matters (yeah right) in the garage.  So satisfied with what I saw I went home.
After school was out I drove by again ( I know a little overbearing). The drywall was up and they had base cabinets in the room.  Not yet installed but I was okay with that.
So we had a meeting at the school for Bailey's trip to Sonora and then drove by again :) I think the guys were staring to notice my car.  Not sure what they had accomplished but they were working.
This morning I stopped by again.  Nobody there but to my surprise (NOT) they left the side door open.  So inside I went.  They put the kitchen 90% back.  They need to finish mudding the wall and install the flooring but that shouldn't take much longer.  But thats what I have said all along and here we are almost 4 months later :(

Doula

Last year I attended a doula training workshop.  I figured I have had enough babies that I could help others have them too.  I have yet to attend a birth.  Granted I was pregnant for most of last year and then we lived in Modesto where I knew nobody.  But I really want to succeed at this.  I think I can do a good job.
So where do I start?  Right now I know 3 pregnant gals.  One is due any day now and doesn't want the use of a doula.  The next due is my cousin.  Around Christmas.  And her mom will overtake the whole process and I don't want to be involved.  The last friend due is a fellow surrogate.  She is due in January and is trying to VBAC so the last I've talked to her she said I was welcome to be her doula.
I don't have a name for my business.  Would I just make up card and pass them out?  I need a plan and I need to find pregnant people.  So now I need to think.

We have progress

So today (and by that I mean Friday, October 9th) I went by our house.  The one that we aren't living in and don't know when we will be living in.  The water damage is starting to be taken care of.  They have taken out the carpet, a wall of cabinets and a wall of drywall.  I don't know when they will be putting things back in but hopefully it's soon.
We also talked with our lender, whom is also the owner of the house.  He says that they opted for the highest bidder for the repairs.  They want things to be done right and nice.  That's a plus.  But it's also a negative because I want to redo the kitchen my way and I will feel bad if I need to tear stuff out.  But we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
He also says that he want's this done by the end of the month.  That's only 21 days away.  If it works out then we will have a home for our Thanksgiving Dinner.  :)  Keep us in you thoughts.

I have internet again

The title says it all.  We haven't had the internet since we moved in so I had to post my previous two entries today.  I can't tell you how hard my life has been without being able to hop on the computer and check up on things.  (Really I didn't notice much until about a day ago).  So I'm back.

House Update

Our house is still being worked on.  I went by there today and watered the fern in the front yard.  I really don't want it to die. It's a nice plant that is probably 10 years old if not older.  The pool it starting to look green again but thats a given since nobody is there to take care of it.  I don't know what the holdup is on fixing the water damage so I am not sure when we could possibly get in.
But since we are in an apartment know (see previous post) I am not going to worry so much.
