Happy 4th!

It's so nice to know that someone reads this, b/c Lisa just emailed me and asked for an update. Yes, I know people read this, b/c they leave comments, but you know what I mean. It's nice to know that there are people out there who care what is going on in my life!

Wells lets see...I left work at about 2 on Friday. It was the last day of the month which is crazy for the mortgage business, but we have gotten ourselves really caught up. I think we are working out a really good system, and praise God for that. My sanity has now returned. I am also taking monday off and we are closed on tuesday. So I am enjoying the mini vacation. No big plans, we still want to go to Dallas, but I am afraid those plans will have take a back seat at least until August, when Nathan should slow down a bit. Which is the absolute greatest time to be walking around in the heat in Dallas, right??? Nathan worked all day today...no complaints here, we all miss him but we take advantage of the busy time, b/c it does slow down a lot in the fall and winter.

I was sitting outside with the kids today. There are two little boys who live 2 houses down from us that always ride their bikes down our sidewalk. The younger one who is 7 will talk to Madi. Well that is when he's not "too mature" for her. Sometimes he teases Madi and won't give her the time of day, which she is not use to at all. We were out there today, and she asked him, "where's your brother, is he at home or is he dead?" I hope he doesn't tell him mom. That is so Madi to say something random like that, and completely blunt.

I am trying to figure out the whole day care problem right now. My mother in law is looking for a job, so I am out of a sitter. I have them registered for Sunset next year, but that leaves the other 3 days out of the week with nothing. I had a sitter, but when Nathan's parents moved back, Neva started watching them. She said she wanted to watch them when she got a job. Well now she won't return any of our calls. Grow up!!! If you don't want to watch them that's fine, but answer your phone and just tell me the truth. Child care is such a dilema. I swore, practically that I would never put my children in "day care" meaning, a place you took them. If it was someone house that was okay, but I just don't want to take them to a place that resembles an institution for the mentally insane. I am looking into a few places, and I am going to be really sad if my kids don't get to go to Sunset or Greenlawn next year, but I don't know what else to do. If any body had any suggestions or ideas, or knows someone in Lubbock that wants to keep my two babies on the opposite days of when Greenlawn or Sunset has school, please let me know.

Anyways, other than that, things are good. Just looking forward to the holiday and time off. Well my laptop is about to die, so I better go. Happy 4th of July!!!!!!
