Maybe tomorrow...

Brian has had a series of phone interviews with a company based in Ohio, and yesterday he actually met with them at O'Hare for the interview in person with 3 of the officials of the company. They are calling him tomorrow to "talk numbers" (men are sooo weird when they say those kinds of things. "We'll discuss an offer" or your salary. But no. They're going to talk numbers)

We are hoping this is a good offer, because the best part of the job is that he'd be working from HOME - YAY!!! I'm soooo excited! Actually, we really get along so well, and we have been handling being in the same very small house without stepping on each other's toes, I think this will work fantastically. As a matter of fact, when I get off work and come downstairs, he asks me how was my day, because he has no clue ;)

It will be very, very well received, since we need health insurance SOON (ours will expire by the end of the month). Cesar had mono, probably for the last few months, but we didn't even realize it because his symptoms didn't get too bad until this Christmas break. Makes me feel a little bit guilty, because he did complain about pains and aches, but Cesar has been a hypochondriac since age 4, so I really couldn't know if it was for real or not. He also wasn't doing a lot of homework and his grades really suffered SEVERELY (actually, he has NEVER had bad grades like this before, he's usually an honor student, and this time around I was dismayed when I saw Cs there!!!), but I just tought he was being a teenager and being lazy, so the poor kid has been grounded since December. I'm pretty sure that the illness had something to do with this. And NO, he didn't kiss anybody. That's my story, that's his story and I'm sticking to it!

Connor had a bad ear infection that reached his eyes last week (two other of his little friends had it). And yesterday he was again running a fever, so we took him to the doctor's office today. And what do they tell us? Maybe it's mono! Darn! We're waiting for the test results. Poor little thing has been miserable for two weeks straight now. And he may have a little problem with his private parts, so we'll be seeing the urologist on the 28th. At least Coco only has a good old cold...
Never a dull moment at the Weirdans!
Hugs to all!

This is what scares me the most about no insurance ... the kids getting sick and there being nothing that we can do about it.

A few weeks ago, after work, I heard Brian scolding Cesar. (If you don't know it, Brian and I work from home, so my office is just a few steps from the kitchen, so i can hear pretty well) He was starting to sound VERY unhappy, especially because Cesar wouldn't own up to his mistake. OUCH! So, here I come into the kitchen and start listening in: BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Are you hording them? Did you hide them?" CESAR: "Brian, I didn't take them, really" BRIAN: "What do you mean you didn't take them? Coco and Connor can't reach them. Mom wouldn't take them, and they did NOT grow legs". ME: "What are you guys talking about?" BRIAN: "It's just that we had the gumballs' container almost to the middle this morning, and now, there's barely one layer of them. The only one who could have done it is Cesar, and he won't even tell the truth!" ME: "Eh... mmmhhhh ... did we have t

Before I start my update... I just had to take a picture of Connor. He is such a BOY!!! I think boys are programmed to be goofy... If you have a boy, I'm sure you have found these kids of scenes, pretty much daily! Anyways, this Good Friday I participated in The Way of the Cross celebrated at 3 pm in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic we have in Aurora. I was so glad to see such a large group, it kept growing as the minutes went by. It was pretty cold, and as usual, I was not wearing a sweater or jacket, but it was well worth it. We prayed for the babies being killed, for their mothers and for the doctors and nurses that assist them. May God help them all. As I did this, Noni came to take the kids to decorate eggs. We did decorate some at home on Saturday, too, but Noni's were a lot more dramatic, especially the one with all those feathers! Coco and Connor found some presents from the Bunny on Sunday morning. After church, we went to Noni and Papa's to celebrate with ou

I made this little book that came with my CHS March kit . Now, since my dear friend Tracie in her blog made me very aware of not posting other people's kids on my blog, I can't show all the pages inside, but I made this book to house all those little pictures of kids that exchange school pictures with my kids... I really LOVED it and made it in a night, while Brian watched tv by my side (that was SOOO COOL!) The paper is Scribble Scrabble (the one i bought like a month ago at that store that I found!), cardstock is bazzill, the stamp is by Stampin' Up!, letter stickers by doodlebug, flowers are Prima (are there any others???) Feel the itch to scrap!
