What are we up to???

Well...I feel so busy lately that I don't know which way is up, or down, or well you get the idea!! Happy Mother's Day to you all by the way!! I know that is today!! LOL!! So since I am not seeing the people I used to see on a daily basis, I figured I would update here!! Life is still crazy for us. Ron has finished school and passed his driving and testing this week!! He is now an offical CDL holder!! He did so great!~! Can you imagine backing and parallel parking a semi?? He had to do that for his test!! Crazy!! So now we move on to quickly finding him a job, hopefully!! Not that he had stopped trying while he was in school, because he didn't, but now our need is becoming a little more urgent with us approaching the 6 month mark and unemployment almost running out! So if anyone knows of a driving job, local or OTR, please let us know!!
As for me, well I am coninuing to work my two jobs!! I got hired as a supervisor for the Summer Program at the one job, so starting in June I will be working 40+ hours a week at that job alone. That will continue until the end of August. So IF Ron doesn't find something, at least I will be full time and he can watch the kids til the end of that timeframe!! After that - well I haven't thought ahead that far, cause I am REALLY, REALLY praying that he finds something and I won't need to worry about it! I'm truely grateful to have found something more fulltime, but can I tell you how much it breaks my heart to know that I will miss out on an entire summer with my kids?? No free lunch at the park, no daytime trips to the zoo, no park playdates, or any other playdates for that matter.....I am having a hard time with that~! I am glad that they will get to spend that time with Ron, but its still just different....they need their mommy~! Maybe this is so close to my heart because of today being mother's day, maybe my emotions are just running high because I am prego....IDK....but I have been such a baby today. Oh well...... such is life.
Otherwise, the kids are all doing GREAT!! Maddie has Kindergarden orientation this past week and was thrilled to meet her new teacher and cannot wait to start school in August. She starts the day after her B-Day, so we figured we will take treats on the first day of school as a special treat! Maddie and Aidan are both almost done with pre-school for the year, anbd will celebrate with a graduation on the 20th. They love going to school, so I am sure summer might be a bit rough for them!! Isaac is a monkey and keeps us running in every direction. He is talking a little more now days and is saying cookie, and baby among a few other words.
No pictures today, because last week our computer crashed and we had to get a new one. My other job requires me to work from home, so we couldn't go without it! I am loving how fast this new one is, as well as the 20" screen instead of my old 13"....... so once I get some files back or download pictures.....they won't be any for a bit~!!
Anyway - I hope all of you mother's had a wonderful day! You are all such great examples to me and I love each and every one of you! Thank you for that which you bring to my life!
