All that work!

We finally have the bathroom all put back together, after hours of washing, plastering, sanding, taping, painting, cleaning and reassembling... and the only difference is that the walls are a different colour! Well, the toilet also has a new seal and a couple new bolts. You know the rule - if you take something out to clean behind it, you won't be able to get it back in without two trips to Canadian Tire for unexpected replacement parts. The bathroom does look better, though - all fresh and clean. At least, until the boys get back in there to do their worst.
Todd is off to sea as of yesterday morning. He'll be gone for two weeks or so. Caitlyn went to visit with her Nan and Pop for a few days, so I only have 4 babies here :) Eric is finishing up his first week of work; he seems to like it so far, he says his boss is amusing, and he gets to have smoke breaks whenever he wants. Yay! *rolling eyes* He should be getting his first pay cheque next Thursday - I hope he remembers that he owes me a few dollars. They must be working him pretty hard, though - he's been going to bed by 10:30, which is extremely early for him :)
So Caitlyn had her evaluation Wednesday morning, by a M.Ed. specializing in developmental psych. She was really pleasant, and had to say repeatedly that both Caitlyn and Raina are adorable. I didn't need an expert to tell me that! :) Anyway, she said that Caitlyn qualifies for an in-home program offered by Eastern Health, where a therapist comes in once a week to work with language and social skills. Also, she is going to try and push Caitlyn's appointment with the specialist, because without an actual diagnosis, there is a long waiting list for the therapy program. So, it's more waiting around, really.
Anyway, Raina is waking up, so it's back to work for me. A la prochaine :)
