So....Our internet, cable, house phone and cell phones have been turned off for a while.
But good news is, it's all turned back on now! We are ok, California did not split off of the CONUS (continental united states...for all you non military lackies. *just kidding I love you!*) we are just waiting for that oh so wonderful STIMULUS CHECK! (woooohooooo) which is due buy oh...friday (that's what the letter told us.) to buy those oh so expensive plane tickets so we (this entire branch of the Liles family *aka LTSAG1, LTSAG2, BTSAM, LTSAM, and Me!*) can come out to Maine! Which BTW (short for by the way for all non text lingoers.) is now set in stone. We have put off getting the much needed new car until we get back from Maine, and is using what we have to come to maine. The only down fall is....
We are currently car seat locking stroller less.
You heard me right. We do not have a stroller. Which is a Royal pain in the buttock.
BTSAMs dad's boss Tim's daughter came from Germany to visit with her 9 month old baby. But she didn't have anything for her baby, so we were very very kind and lent our Stroller that matches our current carseat, a really nice pack and play, and Katie's extra car seat to her for her to use for the month she was out here. We specifically said that we needed everything back because well...we did.
Well come to find out EVERYTHING went back to Germany with her, because "they don't have nice american products to use for the babies..." Well DUH! it's Germany!!!
So now I am lugging around my 15 lbs baby in a car seat, because I don't have a stroller and we can't go buy the stroller separately because the car seat and the stroller came together...so that is almost 500.00 dollars down the drain. And it's such a pain in the toosh to go somewhere, take out a different stroller, take him out of the car seat, put him in the stroller, do what we need to do, go back, strap him into a now HOT car seat (cause it's summertime) break down the stroller and put it away. In my opinion too many extra steps.
So now we carry him everywhere, because we don't have the extra money to spend on a new Car seat/Stroller combination, and since he's gaining weight quick, it's not every nice on the back. (*growl*)
So now we can't get a hold of Tim tell him that they need to replace our stroller because Tim just had neck surgery and well, he can't talk.
That's my rant. Other then that everything is good. We are planning the trip out there and buying our tickets, Hopefully by the end of next week! we have a process of mailing in the check to USAA and then waiting for it to be deposited. and with some of the Stimulus Check I will be getting CONTACTS! wooo! No more squinting to watch t.v!
