I had one of my moments this morning. I finally closed out my accounts at Chase and I am switching everything over to Spokane Teachers credit union, so now no fees! I went into Chase, which I have been dreading! When I went in a few weeks ago to talk about the charges the lady was not nice. However, today I talked to a guy, who wasn't overly friendly, but he went ahead and closed everything out for me. I was shocked to not have some kind of fee attached to this.....
I took my cashiers check and cash from Brayden's account and went onto the next bank. I was somewhat flustered and kind of just shoved all my stuff into the tube-thingy in the drive thru. The bankers computer wasn't working right, and I didn't have any of B's info. so it took FOREVER to get everything situated. Cars were lining up like crazy behind me, which stresses me out. I am always ultra aware of holding people up and I feel like I am always hurrying my kids along......
Anyway, the tube thingy finally comes out, and I have to sign something and send it back. Meanwhile in the back the girls are asking over and over and over to get stickers. I said, ok, because they waited so nicely during this whole 10 minute ordeal. I was trying to grab their stickers, my 3 receipts, and the form I had to sign.....when, whoosh, the tube goes flying out the window into the parking lot.....great.
I pull forward so I don't ram my door into the console thing (quick thinking), I hop out, oh, van is still in Drive (not so quick thinking), it's slowly rolling away. Hop back in and put it in park. Get back out and search for the damn tube thingy (girls still screaming for stickers), can't find the tube anywhere. I am wearing a cute summer skirt, which did not help matters as I'm crawling on the HOT asphalt. Finally spot it UNDER my tire! Get back in the van and reverse it (at this point I count in my head 6 cars lined up and watching the entertainment). Back it up, and notice the lady behind me giving me the stare of death. Park it, jump out AGAIN, grab the tube thingy. Of course the tube is squished, cracked and broken. I sign the damn form, shove it in the tube and shoot it back through the tunnel, all without making eye contact with the banker. How much do you think one of those tubey things cost?
Pretty sure I won't be back to that branch......I guess I need to do some research and see where the next closest branch is located....I'm sure they're thrilled to have me and all my money at their bank! :)

Another BIG step
It's that time of year, back to school! I have a FIRST grader. I can hardly believe it, when did I get this old? Brayden will be in school ALL day, gone for 7 hours (including busing). I'm not sure what Dani, Ellie and I will do with all this girl time. We will miss him!
You can't tell in this pic. but there are TWENTY kids at his bus stop. I LOVE it!
On his way......
I am a little broken hearted that I will be working when he gets off the bus today, but I can't wait to hear all about his day when I'm done! I love you Brayden GOO!
Another big step for the girls:
We survived the trip to my parent's house over the weekend. We all worked hard and packed, trashed and reminisced over lots of stuff! We were fortunate enough to get my brother's bunk bed! I tell ya,they made stuff a lot more sturdy back in the day. This bunk bed is going to last forever, or at least until the girls are 18 and outta here! We broke down their toddler beds and assembled this:
The bottom bed is supposed to make an L shape, but with it directly under, we get a lot more space for two little bodies and lots of toys. They are THRILLED, and so far so good. No accidents yet, but I did take the ladder off and hide it for the majority of the day. That's normal, right?
