Friends at the Park

The little man got to try his hand at driving a crazy cart.  Looked them up online when we got home and whew.   A little over $200 for the one the little man was riding.  Almost $600 for the one the man was riding.  My little man loved it.
The little woman made a new friend.  And boy what a friend.  He decided we needed to move into the house next to his that is for sale so we can be neighbors.  He kept playing with my earring.  He and the little woman wondered all over the park and played on all the structures.
We spent over two hours at the park burning energy.  The little man went up and down several times on the rock.  The last time down he conned some dad to get him down.  I'm of the opinion that he got up and he knows how to get down...so he should.  But if he convinces someone to help him so be it.  Anyway they played hard today.
That was their reward for me getting all of the things on my agenda done today.  Found Mom's old phones and connected one and charged it.  Yay! We have a working landline again.  So I cleared all the voicemails.  Visited the City of BG to get my easement notarized and granted.  There is a creek that runs behind the rental house.  I am suppose to maintain it.  Now I have no clue what that means exactly.  So when the city of BG offered to do that for me as long as I granted an easement...I was all for it.  Course then I lost the notice for a month.  I opted for the easement and not having to pay the management company to maintain the creek.
I also finished my eligibility review with DSHS for the kids' TANF and food stamps.  I had every thing ready and had already faxed all the extra paperwork I knew they would need.  The woman said it is the easiest review she has had in awhile.  I'm pretty sure that since I don't pay for daycare anymore starting in Sept that we no longer qualify for food stamps.  And that is all right because I won't be paying for day care.  The woman loved my attitude.
When I was done with that she transferred me over to the child care side.  It was set up for the little man to come back on in Sept.  Well school starts Aug 30th so she upped my date and went ahead and set it up.  So we are good on that.
I also took Mom some lunch.  A pepper bacon burger from Burgerville.  We didn't converse much.  Just ate our lunch and then she wanted to take a nap.  I hit the gas station and the grocery store and got a nap.  It was a busy good day and I got a lot done.
