The house is doing okay, I guess...the weather is helping that it's warming up although we need to fix the windows and the ceiling in the back room. I got it all cleaned out and found mold or mildew along the back wall undecar the leaky windows. there's also what I believe may be a small patch under the ceiling hole. We're going to have to pull up that carpet and have someone who knows what they are doing out to look at it and clean it out if possible. To further that end Roland is off today looking...

Jake is also doing..."well". He and Katie are having the same sort of issues I recall from when Caleb and Jacob were their ages. Katie wants everything Jake has, and Jake doesn't want to hurt her. So instead of holding onto his stuff he lets her take it and then SCREAMS. I am glad he's stopped smacking her for everything she does, but this squealing has got to stop. It grates on my nerves. It may be a cycle thing though...I know I'm much more irritable when AF is here. He is starting to...

Well I am very pleased to announce that the winter quarter is done for! I took Jake with me to the library on Wednesday (18th) to get out of the house and to pick up the books I had requested to have held.

and then I was thinking about ages and timing and we'd have to avoid until at *least* september/october 2010 to be able to afford it because then the baby wouldn't be born until June/July 2011 meaning that the boys would be 5 & 6 and in K and 1st...

Things are going well around here, DH has been helping me with cleaning which is awesome. the kids have been doing well also. I am having a separate problem with each of them though, Caleb figured out the computer from watching us so now every time I get up he goes to his dad's website to play the games on there. unfortunately DH doesn't have the remember me box checked so then he tells on himself by asking for help I have tried to let him know that it's okay that he's on the computer by 1.)...
