Today we went to the WIC office and signed up for WIC. I've been putting it off until now. Yesterday was the last straw with Matt getting a 3 percent pay decrease (company wide). I'm thankful that he still has his job and wasn't laid off, but it's going to be even tighter now. So being on WIC and getting the extra milk, cheese, cereal and eggs are going to be great. Once i can get to the doctors office and get a special note for Elijah, then we will also get help with formula. The only downside is that they don't have options for alternatives for allergen friendly food. But on the upside the provide 40 dollars to get food at the local farmers market! So that should be good!
Going to the office with the kids and getting all of the height, weight, and iron levels was a nightmare! Joshua screamed, kicked, and flipped out in every way imaginable. I felt so terrible for him... he doesn't understand why we are there or what we are doing. It's a new environment and they are poking him and taking him blood. Needless to say i am glad that is over with.
We were planning on doing a semi-kitchen remodel... but now that we got the pay cut and also refinancing the house so we can pay it off sooner... we're going to put that off. Also we are having some major water issues again (or lack thereof) so who knows how much well stuff is going to cost. I'm okay with it because i already have my stainless steal sink and Matt's going to put that in for me anyway... we just aren't going to build cabinets.
Well that's it for now on this end. I just had a smidgen of time while all the children were resting!
