I'm here!!

I'm still around, just busy with my boys. Last week was Spring Break. One of the things I love about Easter in April is that usually have really great weather for spring break(unlike in March when it's really hit or miss). We were blessed with glorious spring weather, warm, sunny and mild, just about every day they were off. It was great to throw open all the windows and play out in the grass. The boys took full advantage of the weather and were outside, every day, just about all day. Because of that my computer time was severely limited. I think the break was good.

I also spent a couple of days helping my SIL move into her new house. I'm happy that she has moved much closer to her family and is looking to get back custody of her boys, or at least more visitation. It took her a couple of years after her divorce to find her way again. She acted like a teenager for awhile and wasn't really a part of her kids life but now she seems to be fixing that. The house is the first step. It's in her kids school district, less than two blocks from both sets of grandparents, and a cute little house. I was utterly exhusted though after 2 days of moving. On Thursday I don't think I moved from the couch at all! The boys were thrilled to play with their cousins. It also reminded me I really don't want to have to move anytime soon.

Today everyone was back on schedule and off to school. I was kind of at loose ends and trying to figure out what to do with myself this afternoon. Still the quiet was a nice break from last week. We are in the home stretch now with about 7 weeks until school lets out for the summer.

The only dark cloud on the whole thing continues to be finances. My CC is now calling my cellphone, daily and often, leaving not so nice messages. At the moment I've been told to just ignore them, which I've been doing, but still being reminded, pretty much hourly, that you owe money is a bit of a drag. I'm not saying they don't have a point, I do owe them, do want to pay them but their last response was to threaten, demean, lie, and hang up on me, it's no wonder I'm in no hurry to talk to them. We are still getting the last of the paperwork we need for the lawyer(5 years of tax returns and pay stubs) and we still need to tackle the pesky problem of how to pay for it all too.
