Good News...

I have been in contact with my property manager for my house. He and his wife run a top notch business. My house will be restored and a fence added within my budget. I hope someone will love my house as much as I do. The only thing I really wanted was a fence and I am thrilled that I can add that.

Today is a good day. I talked to my mom. It was a great chat. I love my mom. We are very close. She also married a most wonderful man in May of 2007. He is the dad I have always wanted and needed. He calls me his baby girl and is so loving. I am so glad they make each other happy. Also, I got an awesome "big" brother". I already had two big brothers who I love dearly.

My oldest daughter got up and did her homework before I got up. I'm getting sinus junk again and just couldn't move at 6:30 this morning. My youngest is playing nicely with the oldest. They are 8 and 11 and getting along is sometimes a struggle. Considering we spend all our time together, they do pretty well.

Yesterday we played a game of Life. It's been about 6 months since I sat down and played a game with them. We color and do schoolwork daily, but just to play a game isn't very often. Since we moved and I am not slammed with my volunteer work, I am making the effort to spend time just playing and enjoying them. They really are neat kids. I am glad that God has provided for me to stay at home with them. They are growing up so very fast. I want to enjoy all the time I can with them.

We also learned of a Van Pool between our house and work. It starts on Monday and will save us about $150 just in gas. Plus dear hubby won't have to get worn out with traffic. I hope it give him some rest on his commute. He's not one to like driving. He'll do it if he has too, but prefers me to drive.

Cheers!
