Time flies!  Thanks for the comments regarding Jaq's birthday.  She had a great time for her birthday weekend.  She thinks now that she should be sixteen next year.  I don't think so!  Pushing five next year sounds like WAAAAYYY too much for me!

Susannah turns 20 this year (next week).  Olivia turns 2 (next week).  Busy times for everyone.

We are in the process of getting things around for a yard sale.  I am not fond of holding yard sales, but we need to sell a lot of extra "stuff" that we have.  I am not going to be moving a whole lot of un-needed goods - - only to store them some place else.  No, I don't have a new place yet.  My guess is that I will be out at Samantha's in some form or another.  We will see. 

I just got a new cell phone yesterday.  Yay!  Now I can still get calls when I am out on the road.  I actually needed it yesterday morning (I didn't get the phone until the afternoon).  I was working at "R's" in Lakeview yesterday.  I went out to my car to go drive home and my car wouldn't start.  I had to call Dan to come all the way from Crystal to help me out.  Thankfully, it was just a fuse that needed to be replaced.  Anyway...I am enjoying having a cell phone again - though I am sharing minutes with Meredith (I'm pretty sure neither of us talks on the phone a lot).

We had Michael and Olivia with us overnight this week.  I was able to take Michael out with me looking at RV's.  He had a blast!  Little things in life can be BIG things to a small child.  It was good to have him with me.  (Michael will be turning four in August.)

I have been trying to keep up with my walking.  I don't even try to think of it as exercise, but rather, just something good to do for myself.  My leg and knees seem to be holding up.  I just hope it builds my muscles back up.  I know I have lost a lot of strength over the winter months.

Lots of odds and ends today.  Susannah is out at Samantha's.  I have to remember to pick her up this afternoon.  Audrey is home.  She has her new glasses so we should be getting over to Greenville to help her get her driver's permit now.  Laundry today.  Maybe some baking later on.  That is about it for today.

I work at "R's" and "G's" on Friday.  Then the weekend hits. 

Odd life right now.  Most days, I am totally content with how things are going, but there comes the occasional anxiety over whether I am making the right decisions or not.  Meredith reminds to "do what you know needs to be done," rather than trying to please everyone.  That is a hard thing to do when you are a MOM, but I am giving it my best shot.

Until the next time...!

Many hugs!
