still working a lot, but not getting to be less than 60, this week I'm only working 53 hours. that's a big improvement. Our next release for the web site is May 6th. We add payment arrangements, account overview, service orders, real time pricing rates (there are no customers on this rate, but it is a PSC requirement) and meter reading. In June we will add Ourtage messages and reporting and Move In, out and transfer to new address, and Budget billing, street light request, and tree trimming. July is landlord agreements, low income agency pledges, gift certificates and spanish. So I've still got a lot to do, but less pressure.
Chance and Powder are visiting us this week. Chance is in the den behind the laundry basket of clean clothes. Powder is mainly in the living room, but he has been wandering up to the den, looking at us, and then going back to the living room.
I went to the Jake Owen free concert at 4th street on Wednesday. He was okay. It was country, more of a rock country. There are a lot of odd people out there.

guess no one is doing anything.
Can't say anything since it has been forever since I've blogged. Since I've been going into work I don't come upstairs and get on the computer as much. If I do it in the morning I make myself late for work. But not much going on except work and kids soccer games and working out.
I finally changed cubes at my office. It was just to hard to concentrate when phone support liked to talk across the aisles...constantly. I'm not that far from them now, but it is much better. It's also a more professional atmosphere, went from carpi's and flip flops to skirts and high heels. I don't feel so out of place now.
Tom just got home, going to Haley's soccer game in a little bit. So talk to everyone later.

Time Flys
Today was Reese's two year anniversary of being with us. She still doesn't realize she didn't grow in my belly like she told Jeff but I'm sure when the time is right we will explain it to her. We got her a unicorn from the Build A Bear store. She loved it. She had been wanting one.
She had company all week. Our friend Teri's daughter Erin decided to spend her spring break with us. Reese thinks it great to have a big sister around that she can rat out every time she does something that she (Reese)doesn't think she should be doing. We spent Friday at the zoo and Saturday at Thunder. Barbie we ended up at Slugger park in front of the sign and it was a good spot. We took our chairs and Reese had some room to play. They walked around some so Reese and Erin could get the full effect of Thunder without being in the middle. We managed to get home in about 30 minutes and that included driving through Taco Bell. All in all it was a good day.
Reese will have her birthday party at school on Wednesday. We bought bubble wands for all the kids in her class so I need to get the tags and ribbons on them. She said she wants to take cupcakes rather than a cake.
Reese, Mom and I leave on Thurs. morning for FL. I'm not looking forward to the drive but it will be nice once we get there.
Barbie, Jeff will have to bring Powder and Chance over on Thursday night. Powder has to take 1/4 pill of his thyroid medicine in the morning and night. He loves it so it is no problem getting him to take it. He thinks it's a treat. I will have to get some treats for Chance as well so he doesn't feel left out. I don't think you will have any problems with them other than if they get in the basement you may never see them until we get back. We really appreciate you keeping them for us. Jeff didn't really want anyone to stay at the house and they wouldn't know what had happened if we left them at the vets for a week.
It's way past my bedtime so I better get off here and into bed.
Love you all.

Getting Sentimental ...
So, I've been getting sentimental these past few weeks. we got the date sent home for Will's preschool graduation (May 15th). I'm realizing, that as nice as it will be having Will in kindergarten next year for my schedule (and thus 8-3 pm like Haley), it will also mean that I'll be alone at home with no more babies. ALSO - my BABY lost his first TOOTH yesterday!!! Seriously, where has the last 6 years gone? And Haley will be EIGHT in a few weeks??! No way!!
And now, even though I really am glad my kids are getting to go to our own Church for Easter and have the egg hunt with their Church friends, I actaully am MISSING getting to find MY NAME EGG!! Rob said he'd still hide one for me ... :) Mom and I were laughing that we should have had Granny send them to us! Funny thing Granny, you'd appreciate this, we told the neighbor kids we'd have an egg hunt, and Haley said she wanted to do it like we do in Indiana - find a whole bunch of eggs, then an egg just for us with a dollar inside. It's neat that she already appreciates traditions. And all you cousins know, we may gripe about finding the egg, we all secretly love it :) Oh, and yeah - I miss seeing y'all, too, not just finding my egg :)
Rob's work has been absolutely crazy. His shoulder is getting better. I finally got to see him this weekend, so that was nice. We went and saw WICKED this past Tues and it was AWESOME! Kids are both doing soccer, so that keeps us busy on the weekends, as well as some sort of practice just about everyday. (Haley is also doing gymnastics, still). I have to sign Will up for kindergarten next week. You all know the girls went to Disney a couple weeks ago... I guess nothing else is really going on. BUT - I MISS Y'all and we plan to get up there Memorial Day Weekend. Have a HAPPY EASTER and HAPPY EGG HUNTING!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURIE
Its time for another Happy, happy birthday to Laurie on Easter. I'm sure it would be a happier Easter and Birthday if Alex could be here, but I'm sure he will be thinking about you then. Have a great day, Luv you, Granny Pat and Grampaul

Now what do I do.....
The website is live. We had two "high" issues to resolve, which isn't too bad. Now I need to get back to real life. Housework, exercising, sounds like fun. No more excuses.
Nothing really happening here.
