Get 'Er Done Day

Bossy gets his braces on this morning (boy am I going to miss that little face....it is about to change!).  Even though my boss was not happy...I took the full day off.  In theory, it is only 3.5 more hours than the original plan, and I brought some stuff home with me.  He was upset because he is in offsite meetings (that he didn't tell me about) and I won't be in the office in case of emergency.  In the almost 7 years I have worked there....not once has an emergency happened that we weren't able to handle or get in touch with him.  Whatever.

I spent a good portion of yesterday dealing with melting snow.  We had that ONE day that the temps rose (in the 40's!) which makes everything a mess.  We had about 5 inches of snow the night before, with freezing rain...so everything was wet and HEAVY.  My arms....really more my shoulder....got a work out.  I was able to get alot of the compacted snow and ice cleared....go Mysti!!

But today....I will try and play catch up.  I have a bag of "stuff" to do while Bossy is in with the orthodontist.  I will drop him off at school after, and will have about 3 hrs before the kids get home.  My focus during that time is our taxes.  I will report tomorrow what I was actually able to accomplish!!

Wish both of us luck!  My poor kid....

  1. I remember those days with the braces on both of the kids. Glad they are over. How long does he have to wear them for? We're just waiting for a couple more pieces of paperwork and then our taxes will be done.

    1. We are looking at 2.5-3 years to start. But because he has such extensive work that will be done, it could be longer. He may need oral surgery at the end, and he has to 1) be done growing, and 2) have the braces on if we do that. If we end up going down that route...we are looking at 6 years!!!
