March truely was mad. I tell you this month has been a crazy turn of nonstop illness here in our home. We, the kids and I, were couped up in the house for about 3 weeks due to one or all of us being ill and not with the same thing. Then the kids had to share and trade germs that made it even more fun. I fell down the basement stairs and then got sick and couldn't leave the couch. in the midst of all this I still had to plan and take care of paperwork for the start of construction on our home.
WE ARE FINALLY GETTING A NEW ROOF! I can't tell you how much of a relief that is. We will also in about 10 months get our home weatherized by SNAP. They will come in and give us some help in making our home more energy efficient. Which I must say is a wonderful thing when it comes to a home that is over 100 years old. Insulated walls are not to be taken for granted believe me I know, lath and plaster just doesn't hold in the heat. I will be so grateful to have them come in and help us with that.
On the planning side of my life I am headed for California in September. Yes, I am headed down for my 20th class reunion can you believe it! my goodness I can't believe that I have been out of High School that long. WOW!!!! I am excited that I will get to see old friends from school as well as friends and family from OC and Riverside. I really want to make the most of it sooooooo while we are down there Kyle will meet us and we are hitting those Disney Parks and visiting the Mouse! The kids are going to love it I am positive. Then we will round our trip off with a visit to AZ to visit with my mom and Grams. Of course there are visits with family and friends on the way down and on the way back up too! Life is exciting around here that is for certain.
In the life of Kyle world we have adventured into the world of Owner Operator for Swift Trucking. He now is the proud leaser of a new truck and a Mentor to Swift Students everywhere. Well ok he has only had 2 students and may I say that they were on polar opposites of the scale. His first student got fired and that is all I am going to say about that night mare. His second was the best student any mentor could ask for. A Marine, Christian, willing to listen and learn couldn't say anything but nice stuff about the guy and I hope he does well on his own truck.
The kids have been venturing into the land of NO NAPS. Mom is not so thrilled with this. The plan of attack is to get them up earlier and run their little selves raged till they have no choice put to crash in their beds. For days they don't nap earlier bed time. Otherwise they are doing great and enjoying exploring the outside now that spring is here.
Happy Spring everyone!
