A RAY OF HOPE


Pulling up his pants like a big boy, now that he's using the potty!

Talk about computer kids, I can't get mine to stop!

Well, here it goes... I'm going to risk jinxing it all by telling about my recent events which bring light and hope to our difficult life lately.

We got a call from the realtor today. She says there is a family that has seen the place twice and loves it. They are very interested, but have not completed their loan application. Once they complete that complicated and sometimes drawn-out process, we might have an actual offer. Holy crap! An honest-to-goodness offer! I'll do my best not to hold my breath.

And now for news a bit more substantial... IAN IS WEARING UNDERWEAR! Yes, real, size 2T, Buzz Lightyear and Thomas the Train UNDERWEAR. I can't believe it. The child is really getting it... finally. He still has accidents, but he's really getting it. Carl actually saw him do the potty dance yesterday- trying to hold it in. Today he ran to the potty to poop, actually yelling, I have to go potty. We're down to 1 in diapers. And that's not because I didn't try to put Carley on the potty, she's just too busy with other things in life to care about bodily functions.

My new job... I am loving working as an assistant to a realtor here. I do computer work for her just an hour or two a day. It's really fun and it gives me the opportunity to contribute financially. I am using my talents in great ways. Hopefully she's as excited as I am. She seems to be.

Well, that's our excitment for the week. Wait, the week just started. I suppose there'll be more soon. Thanks for watching for the updates. Hope you are doing good and experiencing your own uplifting, promising moments.



Oh, one more piece of exciting news. The dog, after a month of living here, finally understand his potty schedule. With no fenced yard, I walk him 3 times a day, at 7 a.m., 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. And he is doing great with it now. No more messes!
