Hmmmm. Been awhile since I did a picture-less Blog! However, in the space of the last few months, my digital camera died. It has been a tragic loss, and greatly mourned. I was taking pictures with my phone, and that was working okay. But then Kaila's best friend moved, and her parents let her have a cell phone. Which started an entire campaign for a cell phone for Kaila. The agreed upon age being "Somewhere over the age of at least 12, but before 32..." But, Kaila really worked hard to earn a phone, so, I upgraded, and she got my old phone. My new phone is wonderful. I can take movies, pictures, your pulse, look up random health facts, my Facebook account, maps, do anatomy picture quizzes, read books, hook it to the TV, read Calvn and Hobbes comics EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! What I have NOT figured out yet, is how to upload pictures that I intend to take someday when a actualy home, into my laptop. Which, by the way, was in a deep dark coma for awhile. We were not sure it was going to resurrect again, but, the technical guys in India, who say "Good Karma to you" and "Allah be with you" a lot, came thru for us once again, and managed to bring it back from the brink of no return.
The other reason there are no pictures, is that I am rarely home to take them. I have FINALLY gotten my nursing license, and two jobs. Possibly start another next month. While I am sooo happy to be back at work, and I love both of my jobs, I do miss my kids. And, if it wasn't for my wonderful, amazing, fairy God-mother of a babysitter, the house would probably never be clean. Mrs. Ricely and her daughter, Cheyanne, who gets bored and hangs out with her mother sometimes, go through the house, one room at a time, and just clean it top to bottom. Mrs. Ricely even does laundry!!!! And dishes! And bakes my kids cookies! She is amazing, and I wish she would adopt me. LOVE that lady! And her daughters too :) The other day, they even tackled the black hole - my girl's bedroom. A seriously terrible topic for me, and the one way to make me mad, every time I thought about it, or looked at it, or even attempted to step inside it. Joe is a neat freak, like his mother. Kaila, in particular is - Not. I had almost forgotten that bedroom had a purple carpet.
On the days when I am stumbling home tired and starving, with no sleep and no time for a dinner at work (Nurses dont DO breaks...) after driving dark and foggy back roads teaming with deer and other assorted animals, who have acres and acres of woodland to play in, but seem to prefer roadways - esp blind curves with no cell phone service, coming home to Mrs Ricely's magic is worth every cent and more that I pay her.
So. Last time I checked, the kids were all alive and well, George is actually 8 months today! The house was presentable, and still standing, and for someone who rarely has a decent meal, and works a LOT, on my feet, I haven't lost a damn ounce. Other than that, life is good, and eventually I will have time to figure out how to upload pictures off the new phone. Right after I find the time to take them... :)
