well, my blog is looking like a long list of whining and that is not what blogging is about. We've had lots of great things going on too that I just haven't had time to talk about with all the crazy stuff going on. Here are some blessings/fun things we've had the past few weeks.
-today Calvin didn't burn the house down. he only burn a hole in the rug about the size of a silver dollar when he left his lamp on and it had "fallen" onto the rug.
-a few days ago when I was agonizing over a decision (which contractor to choose -- Randy or Duke). I dreamed all night about a certain person who was mostly make-believe but happened to be named Randy and happened to be a general contractor and was practically a super hero in the dream. I woke up feeling great about Randy as a choice and was so grateful for that help in chosing him.
- I have been so busy worrying and planning and doing house stuff that I haven't missed Dave as much as usual. He has been working like crazy! He is having a lot of fun and is happy to be doing neurosurgery full time now.
- Calvin loves TV. He thinks the greatest blessing of all is that we got cable turned on so that we can watch the Olympics and then football and PBS kids. Before we had cable Calvin liked to watch movies. Lately he has been saying "pause" when he wants us to wait. Here are two examples, "mom, pause the book, I need to go brush my teeth" and "mom, pause swimming, I need to go potty." He is a funny boy. I sure love him. He starts Kindergarten very soon. Aug 19th.
- We have had a lot of great workers in our house. Last Sat. one guy came over (and these people don't usually work Saturday) to move some stuff so that we could have access to the washer and dryer over the weekend. That is just one example. Overall, people are being very kind and making every effort to keep us as comfortable as possible and trying to get us back to functional -- especially since we have kids.

The "pause" thing is too cute!! Don't forget to write that down where you'll keep it.
i love the "pause" thing!!! that is great!
Ally says "pause" too. Funny. I think that is why it was hard to potty train her. she needed to learn to say pause don't move a thing while I take care of business. She just can't miss a thing.
Umm, you have a right to complain. Just yesterday I was laying in bed feeling sorry for myself and in some ways cursing God. Then I thought about my problems which are nothing and I felt really bad about it. You truly have a lot on your plate and a lot of problems going on right now. It seems this year has been one big thing after another for you guys starting with the fires last year. Actually you never seem to complain about it you just say what is going on and seem happy to me. your awesome.
That is great you are able to see some positive things out of all of this, but you sure have the right to feel like there is a lot on your plate. I am sure your days are going by swiftly but it is hard w/o a hubby at home to take care of it all + 3 kids! You sure are a tough gal!
