Sorry I have been absent this week, but I know you all understand the insanity that we live in.
My 6 year old started school for the first time ever, 1st grade. So now we have homework, lunch to pack, open house, and a little more drama to add to our lives. This is also very exciting, because this is our first child to start school. So we are going back to school ourselves. We are lucky, she loves school and wants to stay in the 1st grade forever (scary thought ). She has a wonderfully patient teacher, and great classmates as well. She is also now "forced" to sit next to a boy and endure the possibility of catching "cooties" and all the other "ickiness" this includes.
My 3 year old is so jealous of her older sister. All the extra attention and all, so I am also trying to juggle some extra time with her and trying to fit a few new outfits into my budget.
My 2 year old could care less. As long as he is fed on time, receives all the hugs and kisses he wants, and his sisters leave his toys alone, he is a happy camper.
My "A" got a phone call yesterday, he might go to Alaska after all. One of the deckhands was arrested this week and has court on Tuesday and depending on that outcome, my "A" might go in this guys place. So in two weeks I may be a single mother again. I am leaving that up to my HP.
Myself, I am tired and want a vacation. I treat myself to hot baths and early bed times as well as my meetings.
Thank you all for being here. Such a comfort you all are.
Much Love,

glad you are still alive and well! Sounds like things are really busy around your house. Good luck to you about the Alaska thing-Hp is there for you. I am glad you are here as well, you are a great comfort to me.
Dolphin, I often wonder how people with children do this! You all are truly amazing human beings. My A is in a halfway house and will be done with it next week. I come home from working retail and all I do is take care of the cat! There are days when I'm exhausted!
More power and admiration to all of you who juggle families! How you all keep your sanity is beyond my comprehension. By all means, please be extra good to yourselves. You all deserve it.
Love and hugs to all your families.
Live strong, Karilynn
