The Kassel Family Project Life 365

John played outside for a while this evening.  When he returned to the house, he was head to toe dirt!

We took the kids to the dentist today.  Laura has been there before, but it was the first time for John.  Laura was great as always.  They even did an X-ray and all her adult teeth and her six-year molars are there.  We also discovered that her top two middle teeth are loose.  As for John, he cried, but the dentist just wanted to make sure all his teeth were in and that he didn’t have cavities.  Because John let the dentist look at his teeth (even if his mouth was only open because he was crying), he got a special present – a bubble gun!  All in all, it was a good and easy trip!

The Good…

While the picture isn’t very good, it was seriously one of the cutest things I’ve seen in a long time.  Andy and Laura snuggled up sound asleep.

The Bad…

My office was told today that we are closing on December 31, 2011.  The writing was on the wall and I have been looking, but now I have to really step it up.  Fortunately, between the three months that I still have at work and what should be a decent severance payout, I should have roughly 4-6 months before I would have to go on unemployment.  Of course, I spent a large part of today being a complete mess.  I’m sure that isn’t going to change for a while.  I have to focus though, because I need a job.

A lot happened today.  I cleaned some of the house (minus the kids’ room…I can’t deal with that yet), did some laundry, picked up Andy at the airport, spent some time with Andy, drank some wine, relaxed on the back porch, made dinner, got the kids ready for bed, and went to bed early.  It occurred to me right before I fell asleep that I didn’t take one single picture all day.  Oh well…

The kids decided to wash their own hair tonight for the first time.  Well, Laura decided to wash her hair by herself so then John had to wash his by himself.  Then Laura said, “Mommy!  Take a picture for the bloggie thing!”  So, here you go Laura K!  Picture for the bloggie thing!

Andy is traveling to Washington DC today for a committe meeting for Sigma Chi Fraternity.  He’s been sending me texts as he lands at each airport.

• Check in at Memphis Airport at 1:09 pm
• Check in at Cincinnati/Covington Airport at 4:00 pm
• Check in at Dulles Airport at 7:26 pm

Have a great time Honey!  See you on Sunday!
