Every day something happens that makes my heart sink just a little bit about our impending move. Yesterday it was the little boy at ECFE who held Rosemary’s hand as they walked out to the playground. He knows her outside of ECFE and has a compulsion to take care of her; it gives him a special place in my heart and I am sad to leave. We went for a ( Read more... )

1. Joel is currently driving home from an interview in Crosby. Yay! for the interview. Boo! for the location ( Read more... )

Joel says I am on "staycation." Apparently I can't call it a vacation, since I'm not going anywhere. It's been a great weekend and has been a great week so far. The weather is amazing!

But it works just fine, so we decided not to spend the money [that we don’t have, anyway] on a new one. The dishwasher, oven, and microwave needed to be replaced. I even toyed with the ( Read more... )

Ah, today is the first day of summer hours. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, my company allows us to work 9 hours Mon-Thurs and then 4 hours on Friday, if we wish. Last year was kind of hard because Rosemary was always napping when I would go to pick her up and I have to hang out at Joel's parents' house the whole day. I mean, it was really nice to ( Read more... )
