I got a nudge, which means my adoring fans miss reading my ramblings! ;p j/k

Anyway, a little update on where life is I guess.  Finally getting our financial stuff straightened out.  I was actually able to pay all the bills this week.  That fills me with a huge sense of satisfaction!  Things are turning around.  We've been doing better about or spending for the most part.  We splurge on things here and there, but we aren't going to the extreme of eating fast food all the time like we were.  

Elizabeth starts 1st grad on Monday.  That makes me feel so old!  She keeps growing, and I pretty sure that by the time she's 10, she'll be taller than me.  The kid is 6 and is over 4 feet tall already.  I'm changing my work hours so that I can take her to school and pick her up.  No reason for her to be latchkey or to pay for daycare when I have a job that will let me be there for my family.  My parents were always there for me before and after school, I intend to be there for her to help with homework and listen to her about what's going on in life.  

Still no more babies.  I know it will come with time, but it's getting a little frustrating.  I want to have one more for Josh.  After that I'm done I think.  So I pretty much so just want to get it done with.  Most of the time I feel like my family is complete the way it is, but he does deserve to have his own progeny, and I have to admit that I am interested in seeing what kind of little person we'd make.  

10 days until the 2nd anniversary of Dad's death.  I'm handling it fairly well.  I found my brother's kids on Facebook and they ignored me.  I just wonder what my brother and his wife told them about my mom and me to make them hate us so much.  I used to love those kids. 

Anyway, time to get ready for work!

Thank you for the update! It's nice to see you here. Wow, Elizabeth is getting old. I'm glad WE are not. :-p

I'm glad things are going more smoothly for you, and I applaud your decision to be home when Elizabeth needs you. I feel that is one of the main reasons children go wrong in this society: their parents are too busy doing other things to be good parents, and meanwhile, society just bombards them with all these unhealthy influences.

Good luck! :)
