The furniture will not be coming this week :( Instead it has a delivery estimate of the 17th GRRR. I am never buying furniture from this place again. They have horrible management practices and communication skills. Not once have they ever called me to say we're sorry your shipment has been delayed. I've had to call them every time to find out why my furniture hasn't been delivered!

Yesterday I met a mom at the park and we really hit it off. Too bad she's moving to Bend! But her family is here so I think we will try to get the boys together for playdates when she is in town. We spent 2 hours talking and it was so nice to have a conversation with someone who you could see yourself becoming good friends with. She has 2 boys ages 2 and 3 months. Very cute little boys.

This weekend I am going to focus on getting thresholds for the carpet edges where it meets the wood so my puppy won't chew up any more of it. She got ahold of the edge of one and unraveled it about 2 inches Horrors! So I have to protect the rest of it.

Next friday we are heading out for 3 weeks on our trip to visit family so the next week I'll be getting the house ready to leave. Lots to do and pack!

Wonderful summer day. Hot but breezy and not so hot we couldn't go out. I went out to lunch with my stepmom without all the kids and we went for a nice walk afterwards. She's heading to the midwest to help her sister who is being released from the hospital. So we probably won't see each other until I get back from my trip.

I am hoping we get to go to the 4th of July parade on Monday. We can park at my dad's and walk down to the plaza. Then we will probably do a BBQ/picnic lunch and watch the fireworks.

My little guy seems to finally have gotten the hang of potty training - 3 days in a row diaper free YAY! The end of an era, I've been changing someone's diaper 13 yrs straight YIKES LOL.
