No work, No cry.

Did you hear that? Listen...it's me, heaving a sigh of relief :o) Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I made the decision to help Tami while she was recuperating, but I had no idea how much work it was going to be. At the most, I had four kids to watch and two of them were my own. Tracy, and all you other moms out there that stay home, whether it's just your kids that you take care of, or yours and someone elses...KUDOS!!! I don't know how you guys do it. I think it takes a stronger woman than me to do that job. I have never been so happy to have a day off in my life :o)
Our day off was wonderful. Jim didn't have to leave for Sioux Falls until around 10:30-ish, so he was able to get up, get his stuff done, mow the yard (hee, hee), and still have time to play with the girls a little before he left. The kids never like to see Daddy go anywhere without them, so it was rough for a few minutes after he left but they got over it quickly. We didn't do much. Evie helped me fold some clothes (and she did a very good job!), we ate lunch, helped Tami run some errands, took naps, ate supper, and here we are. Over all, a pretty non-productive day, but sometimes those are the best days.
I took the kids to a friends house this evening so I could come to the station and get some weekend work done, and we discussed possibly having an outing to the park tomorrow. Sounds like fun, I hope it pans out.
There's not much else to report today, so I guess I better go get some work done. "Tune in next time for...A Day In The Life of a Fish" :o)

L*O*L Shan...it just takes time. Trust me when I tell you it is NOT EASY! I usually have a headache most days and am ready to leave the house as soon as Mark walks in. I am sure he appreciates that! (giggle)
