This has been a really good week. Work has gone relatively smoothly and home-life is pretty normal. Chris and Amy do a really good job of keeping the kids out of my office and when they get really whiny or obnoxious...they take them to their part of the house and shut the door. The big kids have the addition part of the house which is two large rooms. The kids have one room and the grown up kids have the other. They both have televisions (although Gage is not one of those kids who can be entertained by a television, nor is Kaleob - they don't care about kids movies at all...just certain commercials. They have laptops, and Xbox, and the babies have lot of toys. It works out very nicely.
The car situation still sucks, but fortunately I work will a nice group of people. I never have to worry whether or not I will have a ride home from work each day. It gets old having to rely on others while my car sits in the parking lot of Infinity Marine waiting for Eve to get off and her car sits in the garage waiting for enough money to fix the clutch, but hey...it could be worse...we could have NO cars and then where would we be?
My job got a little easier this week as one of our co-workers left for another position opening up a table that is more ergonomically correct. It's lower and I don't have to stand up all day to groom.
Today is the first day in a while that felt completely normal. I was off this Sunday, so I woke up early and had my "me" time, then I completed several papers for school...I took a nap, cooked a wonderful Sunday roast...watched a stupid movie...an all around, just lounged around most of the day. It's been awesome and I feel revived and refreshed; ready for the new week to start!
