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.

Still ALIVE...

... but swamped with fabrics and paint. It's kind of funny, I ordered some fabric online from Joann, and then when it arrived, I really didn't like it. See, I'm making new curtains for the back door (it's one of those sliding doors and we used to have blinds there), new pillow covers (because we got new slipcovers for the couches) and I'm re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. And so, I ordered different fabrics that I thought would match. Very orangy-yellowish, those are the colors we chose for staging the house. Anyways, when I saw the fabric, I was very tempted to return it, but instead, I started the first chair today... And I think it looks AWESOME!!! I just finished cutting all the fabric for the back of the chairs, tomorrow I'll be busy sewing. Can't wait to see the first one finished. I'm actually getting EXCITED! Bought a couple of lamp shades, too, and I'm almost done painting the tables black (coffee and end tables). Of course, the kids ...

We will be having a totally lazy 4 th of July. Brian just came back from his trip last night, and I think he must be needing a lot of rest. He's loving his new job, but since he really is very good at "fixing" accounts, every time he fixes one and he's starting to enjoy the fruits of his work, another one gets "broken", so he has to go in and fix that one as well. It's nice that he gets such a good reputation in his industry, and it's great that he gets to know so many new people, because it's always good to have such a network of contacts, but it's really exhausting. Anyways, a few days ago I went to buy a watermelon, because we all are fans (big time!). We come home, our mouths watering, and we open it to this... WHAT??? Cesar was brave enough to try it, but I just cannot bring myself to eat some yellow watermelon flesh. It does taste the same, but I just couldn't have more than a bite or two. I'll have to give it a try again toda...

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...
