Oh no not again!

Well Paige has been very very ill the past week, and now it seems Seth and I are getting her bad cold. It's been a rough time for all of us dealing with this illness. Paige has not slept for most of it, and now we are all getting it. AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Between babysitting, home school, Peter's classes, Peter's second job, and Peter's regular job it has been very very busy around here. I hope that we can soon get back on track financially so that we can get back to me not working, and Peter only with one job. I have made the commitment to do after school care through May so I have some time to go still with that (counting down.... 19 wks left). I can not wait to be done with it, and if we are not doing well after the summer I will go back to after school care. We really need the summer for us to just be a family again. I miss my kids even though I am with them ALL THE TIME and I especially miss my husband. : (

Simply fabulous

We had a simply fabulous Christmas season as Sharpay would say. The kids got countless gifts, and we had wonderful family visits! It was a very busy season with Peter working two jobs and me homeschooling and babysitting. It was all worth it this year for sure. I completely forgot to pull my camera out, but I will hold all the memories in my heart for years to come. God really showed us this year that as long as you are faithful he will provide you with what you need most. This year that happened to be family time with our extended family members. We miss our family so much being so far away, but when we do get time with them it is the best! I personally have never felt closer to our extended family as I do right now. They are all such a blessing to me, and my family. Now we are back to the grind Peter working, school back into full swing, and babysitting after school. It was an awesome season, but I am glad to get back to the norm for a while. Hopefully this summer we will get the chance to go see more extended family, and make new memories!
