Yeah, it's been awhile since I did an official update. This blog has turned into a photo album more than anything. And that's good, since my scrapbooking these days is limited. The blog is still a priority even though I only have about 2 readers. The blog book I print every year is the real reason I do this.
We are busy trying to sell our house. Painting stuff. Cleaning stuff. Cleaning stuff again. And again. The first 3 weeks we only had 3 people look at the house. Last week we had 6. We have really seen things pick up. Hopefully that is a good sign and things will move along. We have a lot that we love and want to build on but right now we are waiting for an offer on this house. We will meet with our builder this week and talk about options and house plans. We might put money down on the lot to hold it if we can. The kids are getting more excited about the idea of moving to a different ward. They like the lot and all the room to run and play. I'm just ready to get this thing done and not have to show the house all the time. Having surprise showings and having people give us 20 minutes to get ready for a showing isn't really my idea of fun.
I am also in limbo about jobs. I finally got on part-time with the dentist I have been working for for the past couple of years. That was all going great until things didn't work out with the girl who was working opposite my schedule. When her position opened up the dentist couldn't find someone to work part time and ended up hiring someone for full time. Which basically cut me back to not working. It wasn't really the outcome I had hoped for. Now I'm looking for jobs. I finally had to update my resume after, uh, 12ish years, and I took it around to the dentists in town. Nobody was hiring when I took the resumes around so I'm just kind of waiting for something to open up. I did get a lead on a job with one dentist and I took my resume over there last week. Their assistant left with no notice. She was on full time so I don't know if they will even consider me for part time. I guess it depends on how desperate they are. I'm waiting to see a job posted or hear from them or something. I also put in an application for a job with the school district helping the district nurses with health and vision screenings and keeping immunization records updated. It doesn't sound nearly as interesting and fun as working in a dental office but I guess I have to just take what I can get and hope that eventually I will get the "perfect" job that I want.
This girl was excited to start school. The funny thing though is that when anyone would ask her if she was excited she would tell them she was nervous. This girl is almost 6 and is so ready for school. We are glad the time finally came. She insisted that I let her ride the bus today. She also insisted that I let her wear her headband that looks like a tiara. I told her that if her teacher wants her to take it off when she gets to school she has to listen. I didn't feel like fighting it this morning. I am excited to hear how her day went today.
I got injured on Saturday. I was on my hands and knees mopping the floor under the bar. I grabbed a stool to move it over and there was a glass of leftover breakfast smoothie on the stool. As I pulled the stool over the glass fell over and broke and came crashing down. A piece of glass cut my arm on the way down. As soon as I saw the cut I knew I'd need stitches (I could see my subcutaneous fat! Eww!) I took myself to the Instacare and got 6 stitches. Sorry if this grosses you out. I think it is kind of cool. And gross.

Our ward has a tradition of having a ward breakfast on Pioneer Day every year. We always have a good time visiting with our friends in the ward and seeing people we don't really often bump into at church. I was excited that Adele wanted to wear the fabulous pioneer bonnet that I made several years ago. She took it one step farther and wore a dress-up skirt that is long and sort of looks "pioneery". She looked so cute.
