Long overdue

I am very long overdue to post something on here. Just like I think of those who are reading this every day, I think of posting something every day. But just like I rarely call or visit, I rarely post. I'm really really hoping that when I start sleeping again I'll start being a real person again.

I just read over my last post. Good news: my toe is better, my head is better. The gash healed quickly, which is good because I delayed washing my hair for a day because I didn't want it to bleed again, and it hurt to touch it, and by the time I did wash it it still hurt a little but at least nothing bad happened.

On to other news: Christopher's adorable. The other day he HAD to do chores. He actually helped me clean the whole house. Granted, it was a major delay to his bedtime because he kept "finding" things he coud clean. But I'll take my blessings where I can find them.

Alexander, where to start. I have a lot of pictures and movies of him, and from Christopher, which I will eventually put up. They're way too cute not to share. But I don't think I have the brainpower to figure it out right now. Story of my life.

We're moving. That announcement probably should have been it's own post. I know all of you will be happy for us. We're actually going to Mimi's house because she's traveling this summer, so we'll be helping her (maybe?) and it helps us a lot. It was overdue for us to leave this house. It's far too small and far too dangerous, as we have ample proof.

No news on the job front. But that's probably to be expected. No one gets new jobs nowadays. Especially not ones that are very good and can provide for a family of 4.

On a related note to that: I spent all last Monday at the DES office. They're supposed to handle cases within 45 days. I didn't even get an appointment until day 47. And the case isn't finalized yet. Which is kind of a bummer. While Bryan is still getting unemployment insurance, it's pretty minimal. But apparently DES is so backtracked that even though I don't think we actually had any kind of coverage for Alexander's appointment this month, they allow any benefits to be retroactive to the date you applied, which means that I don't have to pay for it, and his shots. Which is great since we need to fix our cars, one of which isn't running and the other of which didn't pass emmisions. Oh joy.

Lest I sound sad and depressing, I'm enjoying life. I love my boys. While I was at DES there was this horrible mother who did just about everything but beat her poor little kid. It was a little boy that was Christopher's age. When I got home, I hugged Christopher, told him I loved him, and played with him the whole afternoon. Nothing like a bad example to show me how good I have it. I love having Bryan around as well, and while it's sad that he doesn't have a job, it feels great to see him with the kids, and I enjoy his company.

I'm sure I have more interesting tidbits lying around here somewhere, but I'm too tired to remember what they are. Or did I mention that already?
