My life has also changed in other ways. I work 2 jobs now, not 4, and this is such a relief! In fact this past weekend, between 1:30p and 8:30p on Saturday, I got 43 of my 53 things on my "To Do" list done. Can you imagine, a 'To Do' list of 53 items?! That's like a weeks worth of work! (or 6 and a half months of not working at that stuff!) I still have to clean Freddie's tank (Freddie the fish) but I'm tempted to ask Don to do that...after all, it is his tank.
We've been in our house for six months now (can you believe it? I can't, I keep thinking it's only been a couple months). The garden turn out to be almost a complete flop. The corn is coming along (at 15 ears sprouting) and the pumpkins have taken over EVERYTHING!! (By the way, in a little while, we'll be selling Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins for $3 a piece). We got three green beans total. Just a week or so ago we got some buds on our mellon plants (although I cannot remember if it is the Cantaloup or the Watermelon that came up). Our lettuce only grew to about two inches. The herbs got washed out (twice) in some massive rain. Four of the 20,000 approximate seeds from the mixed bag bloomed. Don transplanted a lot of our Hastas and they mostly died. The Sunflowers never broke ground. And three branches of my favorite tree (okay, that one isn't in our garden) came down...one due to a storm the other two were us being proactive and not wanting it to take out half our house.
So...some changes, not many. In case you didn't see, I cross stitched a picture of our house so you can check that out on Facebook.
I've been at Wedgwood for a few months now and I'm still so excited about seeing clients and getting started in the mental health world. It breaks my heart to see the situations that my clients are in sometimes but I love the challenge of a hard to reach teen...it's easy to see the progress, even if it is as simple as getting to them to laugh at a comment or joke I make. So worth it!
Not much else. The whole family is headed up north this weekend and I'm so excited about that. Sorry again, that it took so long to update. There have been quite a few changes in our lives and getting everything settled. A lot of energy has been put into ES's arrival and now that she's here, there is a lot of energy put into helping her adjust to everything. Everything...she looked at my french fries (the frozen kind from the grocery store) like she'd never seen them before...and as she taste tested one, I could see on her face she hadn't. Here we go, one grand adventure!!
