UPDATE

So, it is now July,and our lives have returned to a normality of sorts(I dislike the word normalcy-sounds made up.)Shaun has a job, AND he likes it!Yaya!At Deluxe running a press.He works afternoon-night shift, so evenings are odd but it's great to be employed!Once we get used to our new schedule, it will be awesome.Also, Shaun has his own truck for commuting.A tiny mitsubishi-cool!We have a van during the day!!!!Wow.The blessed trick is finding time when I have few enough kids to fit in and go somewhere.I'm watching 2 boys on Mon and Tues, and 2 other boys on every other Tues and Sat.:)All get along great together, and we have a kid in the house from each year from 1-10 except 7 and 9!(there are two 6 yr olds though.So I don't think the 7 counts.:)
The health concerns we had in June are all healed:)Thank Goodness.
My own healing was aided in the chance to doula for Eagen.I kicked my own fears and cares of possible inabilities by helping her realize her own fantastic birth!!!!!SUCH a terriffic experience!Thanks Eagen,Yony and Miguelito!
I finally got the garden going,and I just love to garden!Such a great activity.:)
The laminate is all in, and we are on occasion turning attention to a bit of tile instalation in the entry and soon in the kitchen "spillway" by the sink,dishwasher,fridge and oven.
I've even had the chance to get back to some knitting, and learned a new stitch yesterday-"bobble"fun,crazy stitch!
The final step to rebuilding our lives is the instalation of regular activities.We've missed a couple months of our homeschool playgroup,and knitting.Bellydance may be out, but I am determined to try bringing all the kids to the playroom there and HOPE it works out!I SO need that class in my life!:)And with the use of the van in the evenings we will begin regular attendance at the Treehouse museum again, but now for the participlays!FUN!
Crazy fun updating!
